About Teaching Methods and Strategies

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

This page sits in the Teaching Methods and Classroom Practice strand of Education and pedagogy. It collects resources on how teachers plan and deliver lessons. Most are mind maps, with notes, flashcard decks, slide sets, quizzes and a few flowcharts alongside them.

The topics are broad. You will find Instructional Methods: Lecturing, which describes the lecture as the old, classical method and sets out the roles of teacher and participants. There are maps on Inquiry-Based Learning, Task Based Learning, Problem Based Learning and The Jigsaw Classroom. Language teaching has its own cluster, including the Natural Approach, TPR- total physical response, Teaching grammar and the CALLA method.

Where to start

Begin with the map called TEACHING METHODS AND STRATEGIES, then APPROACHES TO TEACHING. Together they give you the overall picture. Next, read Characteristics of Student Centered Learning, which covers the teacher's roles, engaging students, differentiating instruction and co-operative learning.

  1. Read a overview map to see the main methods side by side.
  2. Pick one method, such as Differentiated Instruction, and open the matching notes.
  3. Move to a specific case, such as the notes on using case studies in teaching Business Studies.

Using maps and quizzes together

Maps are good for seeing how ideas connect. Quizzes show what you have not yet absorbed. Try the Cognitive Quiz or Cognitive Teaching Methods Quiz after a map, then go back to the branches you missed. The METODOLOGÍA quiz asks about the Direct Method and cooperative learning, which makes it useful if you are preparing for oposiciones. Flashcard decks such as Teaching methods and Methods of Teaching suit quick recall of definitions.

Other themes worth a look

Some resources look at classroom climate, such as the notes on reducing prejudice and building empathy. Others focus on practice: The Art of Questioning in Teaching, Blended Learning, and How to help students to study and revise. Teachers can also browse slide sets on student engagement and motivation.

When you are ready, pick a topic that feels shaky, take a quiz on it and make your own flashcards from what you find.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map TEACHING METHODS AND STRATEGIES, then APPROACHES TO TEACHING. They give an overview of the main methods. After that, choose a specific method, such as Inquiry-Based Learning or Differentiated Instruction, and move on to its notes or a quiz.

What do the mind maps cover?

Most of the page is mind maps, over 1,700 of them. They cover lecturing, student-centred learning, inquiry-based, task-based and problem-based learning, the Jigsaw Classroom, questioning and blended learning. There is also a group on language teaching, including the Natural Approach and TPR.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking them against your own course materials.

Are there resources for exams like oposiciones or the TKT?

Some listed resources mention oposiciones and the TKT. The METODOLOGÍA quiz, for example, asks about the Direct Method and cooperative learning. Most material suits university students and professional candidates, so use it alongside your official syllabus.

Can I save my quiz scores?

A free account saves your quiz scores. It also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, which is handy for turning a method you have just studied into revision material.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Try nearby terms, since methods are often grouped under approaches, strategies or instruction. For instance, case studies sit in notes on teaching Business Studies. If a topic is still missing, you can build your own map or flashcards for it.
