New teaching methods

I lke using simulation as a teaching method because it involves most of the multiple intelligence. It is useful for auditory, tactile, visual learners. Since active participation is required, students don't feel bored and left out. As instructors, we have to thoroughly prepare the scenario, the equipments, the debriefing techniques so as to maximize simulation activity and achieve the desired goal and objectives what students need to learn.

Learning Style vs Instructional styles

Learning styles of students and instructional styles of teachers are important aspects that needs considerations in teaching. These are big challenges on the part of the teacher. Firstly, the teacher must be adept in implementing the instructional style he/she is going to use. Secondly,teachers should not just use any instructional style for the sake of variety, but rather use an instructional style that would maximize the achievement of the learning goals set. Example; in teaching skills to be learnt, the best instructional style for me is demonstration. Role play for me is excellent when demonstrating attitude/affective domain in learning.

Making an informed decision

As a service provider it is our responsibility to inform the customer in our instance the prospective students the pros and cons about the institution and the program they are about or interested to enroll. I will demand it from any provider if I am the one needing the service. After all it is my precious investment, i.e time and money, and I can't afford to waste them.
