III. Teaching Strategies: Blended learning/teaching and Socratic method

Blended learning/teaching: (combines face to face classroom methods with computer-
mediated activities to form an integrated instructional approach).
 Cooperative learning strategy-
 Socratic method- a form of cooperative dialogue between individuals, based on asking
and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and
underlying presumptions.
 Lecture method- most commonly used method of teaching. It is a teacher controlled
and information centered approach in which the teacher works as a sole-resource in
classroom instruction.
 A. Guided Practice:
B. Motivation: Watch video
In the first video, take note of the important point being said in it.
The statements that should be explained by the students are the following:

 Others call me MOTHER NATURE.

 I don’t really need people, but people need me.
 Your future depends on me.
 When I thrive, you thrive (grow or develop). When I falter, you falter (fail or
weaken).
 Your actions will determine your faith, not mine. I am nature, I will go on, I am
prepared to evolve. Are you?
In the second video, cite the important details that should take heed by youngsters like
you.

 How significant is nature for you?

 What are the problems and consequences being shown in the video?
