1 IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS THE FACTORS THAT A TEACHER SHOULD TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN
CHOOSING A METHOD OF INSTRUCTION
➢ The learning outcomes: what is the aim of the lesson? It is to reveal new
information, apply the theory in practice or revise completed work.
➢ The learners needs: if the learner does not understands the work that has already
been explained, a teaching method must be chosen that provides opportunities
for asking questions so that any obscurities and problem can be cleared up
➢ The subject contents: some subject contents are more practical while others are
more theatrical. When a section of the subject is extremely practical, it is
preferable to choose a method in which demonstration and examples explain the
subject contents
➢ Learner’s talents and gift: learners who are less gifted have difficulty learning,
hence the need for adequate illustrations, demonstrations, learner involvement
and repetition. More gifted learners learn more quickly and are able to
concentrate for longer periods. A teacher should therefore choose methods that
allow the learner to perform according to his or her abilities.
➢ The competence of the teacher: the teacher will know his or her own abilities and
shortcomings.
