1.Teaching methods of the teacher that i observed
Honestly, when I observed my co – operating teacher in DS.VRU i realized that she combined both Student center learning and Teacher center learning. In her teaching she provided knowledge for student step by step.
+ First, she introduced about knowledge unit which students would study in lesson.
+ After that she explained about essence of that knowledge unit.
+ Finally, she asked students to do some works in worksheet to apply their knowledge which they had studied.
I could see my teacher used demonstration method, question and answer method, team work method in her teaching.
