As I belong to the education sector, here I want to discuss the new and innovative methods of teaching in this modern time. When I had a chance to visit the Best Playgroup School in Lahore, I was surprised to see how teachers use modern and innovative ways to teach their students and gain new experience.
Students of modern time want a new method of learning which increases their mental ability and helps to make them creative. To solve this problem teachers use these new techniques of teaching and make their students creative.
Here we are going to discuss some new teaching methods that impact students’ minds and they feel interest in studies so that they will be able to create new things which make their future bright.
Flipped Classroom
Flipped classrooms play an important role in the field of traditional teaching, which changes their way of teaching, like students are provided with new videos and reading material from which they can learn new things from their home. These teaching methods also change the way we learn during class.
For example if the teacher provides some video lectures then students take more interest and clear their concepts by visual lectures. Sometimes teachers make a friendly environment in class in which they can discuss their relevant topic which they read in class.
Through group discussion they exchange their ideas and increase their learning ability. So activity learning method students can see new material related to their studies which makes them interested and they spend more time in class minutely and makes the classroom environment friendly.
Gamification
All students and children like to play games. Which gives a new idea of how we teach students and how they take interest. So by using gamification activity we can engage our students in class such that the teacher allows students to play games related to their studies.
And give some reward to their students like giving some points to winning games, or providing badges, which challenge other students and they can participate in class more efficiently. This also helps to reduce their shyness in class.
They enjoy their learning and motivate themselves. As we all know that some subjects are dull and boring, students do not want to learn that topic so it’s on the teacher how to engage their student towards the topic by using gamification method.
Project-Based Learning (PBL)
Project-Based Learning is one of the innovative methods of teaching which helps our teacher to engage students and class and they also learn how to live in the real world by using these techniques.
In other words students come to know the real meaning of life during project based learning students are involved mentally and physically and focus more on their studies.
This technique also increases their critical thinking and problem solving ability which enhances collaborative discussion in class. By using these techniques teachers can develop practical skills among their students and increase their level of understanding.
Blended Learning
Online learning can also play a key role for education of students belonging to remote areas who do not have transport facilities and modern schools and colleges with professional and trained teachers.
This plate provides a chance to students to learn in a better way. So Blended learning combines both traditional and face to face instruction with online learning.
This mixed way of learning provides students with modern material of learning and our teachers also provide us with content of learning and videos lecture or some kind of animated lecture through online platforms.
Which proves best and provides an easy way of learning for the students who belong to remorse areas.
Interactive Whiteboards and Smart Classrooms
Some schools use interactive whiteboard and smart classrooms to engage their students, one of these schools is School Near Raiwind Road, which provides such a type of environment in class.
These techniques help teachers to make their students creative through multimedia lectures which attracts students a lot.
Teachers in such a type of school use different ways to engage their students in class by involving some animations or videos according to the student. Which creates a learning environment in class.
Collaborative Learning
Collaborative learning enhances teamwork and cooperation which is very helpful for students in daily life. For example, teachers are given some assignments to promote collaborative learning, and students share their ideas during group discussion.
This also helps our teacher to make their students creative and enhance their thinking skills. Because teamwork is very essential for the future where we are also in need of each other in any working platform and we can achieve our goals.
Final thoughts
Innovative teaching methods are very important to engage students of modern times. These techniques help students to solve problems which they have to face in future and also makes them creative.
As a teacher I want to say that we must adopt new teaching methods to increase the interest of students in class and it also helps to create a thrust of knowledge in students.
By using different techniques such as classroom activity, group discussion, video lectures, given some creative projects, assignments these increase the level of learning of students.
