Teaching Techniques

by Jonathan Thigpen

96 Pages

This book focuses on the philosophical basis of teaching methods with insights from current research. Selecting appropriate teaching methods need not be a daunting task. When the teacher understands God’s perspective on the ministry of teaching, selection then becomes a process of meeting the lesson’s objective through attention to student learning styles, learning domains, and innovative techniques. Both teacher-centred and student-centred methods are explored with refreshing insights. An excellent companion to the course “Understanding People”.
