6. TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ASSESSMENT METHODS

Teaching and Learning Strategies


A. Active Learning. This is includes question-posing, inquiry, and self-directed
learning.
B. Cooperative Learning. This allows students to work in groups and be responsible
for each others learning, and each accountable for their own learning.
C. Critical Thinking. This approach to thinking emphasizes stating original claims or
opinions and supporting them with reasons. Critical thinking is used expressively
when students make interpretations and support them verbally or in writing. Critical
thinking is used receptively when students critique other peoples arguments.
D. Directed Reading Activity. This is a building-knowledge strategy for guiding the
silent reading of students with comprehension-level questions; often associated
with reading with stops or chunking.
E. Explicit Teaching of Text Structure. Teaching the parts of different types of text
and making sure students understand the text structure before reading is the
primary goal of this strategy. This would include basics such as text in English is
read from left to right, and also more sophisticated structures such as the structure
of a narrative.
F. Hands-On. This encourages the students to design activities that they are actively
involved. Hands-on participation is as important as verbal participation in the
activity.
G. Literature Circles. Students discuss portions of books in a small group.
Sometimes roles are assigned for group interaction. Students at varying levels are
able to share different points about the book.
H. RAFT. A writing activity usually used in the consolidation phase of a lesson in
which students consider four elements: role, audience, format and topic.
I. Reading and Questioning. A cooperative learning and study activity in which
pairs of students read a text and write questions about the text and answers to
those questions. Later they may use the questions and answers as study aids.

Assessment and Evaluation Methods


A. Formative and Summative Assessments. Formative assessment covers
activities that generate information on how well students are engaged in classroom
interactions such as recitations and discussions. On the other hand, summative
assessment includes major examinations that describe and measure students
learning outcomes.
B. Performance-Based Assessment. Instructor observes and make judgements
about students demonstration of skills and competencies in creating a product,
constructing a response and the like in line with the criteria communicated by the

a student having a valid reason for not taking the examination on the prescribed
