Panel of Experts allows experts to present different opinions to provoke better discussion than a one person presentation and frequent change of speaker holds participants' attention.

Changes in the organisation of the teaching coincided with statistically significant improvements in attendance at tutorials and improved perception of the usefulness of tutorials, handouts, presentations and exam practice, which provide support to programmes that have instituted similar changes and stimulus to those considering them.

This article focuses on the sacred songs of the Tatars, in particular the genres of book intonement. Researches on the problems of ethnogenesis of the population of the Volga-Ural region make it possible to distinguish local ethnic groups of both Finno-Ugric and Turkic origin. Here, along with the genres of ritual and non-ritual song folklore, which are most common among the Finno-Ugric peoples, the modern existence of the tradition of book intonement represented by such genres as baits and munajats characteristic of the Tatars of the Muslim religion is noted. The earliest layers of spiritual ...

THE CONCEPT OF GENERAL METHODS OF TEACHING is so broad as to need empirical delimitation in any summary of research data. In one sense the teacher's method includes everything that he does in the classroom as well as the maintenance of many nonclassroom conditions that affect learning and over which the teacher has some control. Broadly conceived, part of the teacher's instructional method might involve his ability and willingness to regulate the amount of fresh air in the room. The term is not so broadly defined, however, in the pages that follow. They summarize the research reported within t...

IN THE June 1942 issue of the REVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH, Corey and Mook (2) summarized fifteen investigations dealing with methods of teaching. These reports were published during the three years, 1939, 1940, and 1941 and dealt with general procedures or general methods employed by teachers. The present summary includes the sixteen research studies published during the three years, 1942, 1943, and 1944, which included statistical treatment and evaluation of general methods of teaching.

This article deals with the problems of methodology of learning English and modern methods of teaching

Abstract The human being started as a self-educated person, this way managing to improve his living. For his descendants to avoid failures, he started to share his ancestors’ experience. When some people’s knowledge acquirement became big, they were called the sages, and among of them became eventually teachers, that took the role of transmitting the useful information related to life environmental conditions they lived. In time, their needs became more and more complex and their knowledge deeper. In the act of teaching itself, teachers create a shortcut between necessity and solving it, going...

effective types of drama and describes basic pros of this method.

Any attempt to summarize what is happening or could happen in the teaching of methods courses becomes rather general in nature because of the countless individual patterns being followed. ... It is apparent, however, that there are several very definite trends that can be cited.

Teachers use readings and lectures to impart information during which the student listens and/or reads, and students can see examples in film or video presentations, pictures or slides, clinical demonstrations, and written examples.

The theory of teaching is becoming scienclization under the pattern of science.It gives birth to teaching-method.From the philosophy of teaching-method,it is technology that is denoted by its purpose and its procedure.The aim is to operate on teaching and its belief is what its procedure is able to guarantee its purpose.In fact,teaching-method has an internality paradox and an externality paradox.The practice of teaching-method shows that the paradoxes exist.The internality paradox is represented between the procedure and the purpose which is to cultivate individual;the externality paradox is ...

The teacher prepares his talk at home and pour it out in the class. The students sit silently, listens attentively and try to catch the point. Supposing “profit and Loss” the topic in hand. The teacher goes on telling and explaining „Well boys/girls, profit and loss is always to be calculated on the cost price, because the cost price is our investment in the bargain if you invest less and earn more you gain; therefore gain is to be calculated by subtracting cost price from the selling price.

not the system or the method in itself that is important, but whether the teacher is happy with it and capable of using it effectively. I shall also argue that the most valuable technique that the teacher must have at her disposal is the ability to motivate her pupils in positive ways, thus making it unnecessary to punish and to drive them to effort in ways that can only be aversive. Indeed, the necessity for positive

In 1816 there appeared a translation by Dr. John Taylor of a treatise on Hindu Arithmetic and Geometry, published at the expense of the Literary Society of Bombay The author of this treatise was Bhascara Acharya (1114-c. 1185) and the treatise itself is of some importance in the history of Hindu mathematics. A discussion of this treatise, which is called the Lilawati, may be found by those interested in Rouse Ball’s History of Mathematics, pp. 150-154. It is however with the appendix to Taylor’s translation that we are here concerned. Little is known of Taylor himself except that he was born i...

There is a significant relationship between method of teaching and pupils’ understanding of scientific concepts and academic performance and it is recommended that teachers should use appropriate methods of teaching to communicate science concept to pupils.

THE SMALL AMOUNT of research here reported appears to indicate a change in the kind of research being conducted. There is an apparent trend away from studies of "general" methods. For the most part research in the field of methods is closely identified with specific subjectmatter and is reported in the numbers of the Review devoted to "Psychology and Methods in the High School and College" and "Special Methods and Psychology of the Elementary-School Subjects." There is also a tendency among contributors to write an informal narrative or journalistic exposition of a personal experience in teach...

Measurement of instruction and recognition of the factors contributing to scholarship are important aspects of methods of teaching. There is space only for a brief summary of investigations made to determine the relation between scholarship and high-school records, junior-college transfers, sex, fraternities, attendance, and other factors. It has been stated in this paper that the coefficient of correlation between high-school marks and college marks may be expected to range from about .40 to .50, or even higher. Thornberg concludes that students from large high schools are superior in scholar...
