However this method is applicable in the universities, colleges and other higher of learning institutions. And its drawbacks are follows. Student acts or plays a certain role in a group; this method of learning can be employed at all levels of education.
In role-playing student make mistakes without feeling threatened by the situation. The relevant problem may be solved; this method can be applicable when teaching art and music in schools. Thus we must remember, no textbook is perfect, no textbook is complete. It is but one resource at our disposal to be used as a blueprint, a guidebook, or an outline.
As teachers, we all need to make many decisions, and one of those is how you want to use the textbook, as good as they may appear on the surface. A textbook gives you all the plans and lessons you need to cover a topic in some detail. There are no surprises—everything is carefully spelled out.
The series is typically based on the latest research and teaching strategies. They're a resource for both teachers and students. The major distinction is that in a symposium each presenter is given a different work to present on.
In a symposium when the question is posed it is specifically addressed to the presenter of the topic and not to the house at large. This method helps students to experience and practice what they are learning. Encourage students to explore relationships between fictional and real worlds.
Encourage students to reflect on how the drama relates to the world outside. Invite students to share reactions and observations in and out of role. Collaboration establishes a personal connection between students and the topic of study and it helps students think in a less personally biased way.
Group projects and discussions are part of this teaching method. After some preparation and with clearly defined roles, a discussion may constitute most of a lesson, with the teacher only giving short feedback at the end of the lesson.
Tests provide student opportunity to learn. After students have written a test the teacher should mark and discuss parts of the test were much of student had not fared well then re-teach those parts. Sometimes a teacher can set take home test where students are given an opportunity to read, probe and find answers to questions. Most effective teachers prepares test for themselves and do all the typing to avoid leaking.
Telling is particularly useful as a teaching method when: ii. Introducing new topics iii. Summarizing work iv. Supplementing information furnished by students and text books. Developing the work of the class vii. Giving illustrative talks viii. Giving inspiration talks. Introducing important incidental information. It is not possible to elicit the information for the students or make them active participants in the learning process.
The presentation may not be logical if the teachers presenters have got inadequate imagination, accurate and wide knowledge. The presentation may be boring if the presenters have not collected adequate information and facts on the topic at hand. Nevertheless this method is almost applicable in all subjects. To enhance it, every teacher should know that telling is an art. As alluded to, a teacher should have variety of facts of the story to tell the class.
For example, this method requires us to start with, what we have to find out. Then we think of further steps and possibilities which may connect the unknown with known and lead us to find out the desired result. Analytical method can be used in the teaching and learning of mathematics and other related objects therefore can be improved by encouraging students to do some research in their learning subjects. Analytic method is logical, leaves no doubts and convinces the learner.
It is suitable method for understanding and discovering. The steps, in its procedure, are developed in a general manner. Each step has its reason and justification. The student is throughout faced with questions and this increases his power at every step. It is a lengthy method. It is difficult to acquire efficiency and speed with this method. It may not be applicable to all the topics.
It is probably used in science or in mathematics in which questions, formulae even answers at time are printed on the flash cards to help learners remember information easily. Therefore, it provides to learners the ability to recall information randomly. However, to enhance this act, the teacher should be resourceful in one 17 sense that he must ensure that any topic taught should have flash cards containing main points of the overall topic.
It helps learners build language skills. It develops the learners learning skills. It improves learners understanding of literature. Learners can have a firm basis for progressing to more complicated problem-solving skills.
Very little information can be memorized at a time. It creates and promotes laziness among pupils. Memorizing is disappointing in that it can only last for a short period of time. It limits learners from exploring or doing research. One way to improve this method is when 18 Interviewing, the interviewee should be interrogated with both open and closed questions.
Other than this one, learners should be acquainted with interview skills. It encourages interactions between and among people especially an interviewer and an interviewee.
It improves creativity as the learners will make a report out of the interview. It gives adequate time to prepare questions to ask. It provides a logic way of doing work. It is time consuming. A learner may get the wrong information. Some people would not be willing to talk to them. Play-way method can be utilized in the teaching of various subjects of the school curriculum to make them lively and interesting. In the teaching of languages play way can include dramatization of interesting anecdotes and plays, debate, discussion, speeches, spelling games and story games.
As for teaching social studies, a number of play way devices can be used for instance, dramatics, pageants and tableau, charts, models, pictures and so forth. Basically, the success and improvement of play- way depends upon the hard labour put in by the teacher. The use of play- way can, in no way, be taken as the line of least resistance to which a teacher can succumb, but it is a whole- hearted application to an arduous task of facilitating the learning process in a natural and interesting manner.
The application of play principle is a great force in education in that play is a wonderful motivator, because it is interesting. Work wedded to joy is work at its best. Play provides training in self-discipline and self-advancement through self-education. The harmony of work and play keeps the child fully absorbed in work. Play- way is the best way of learning. Teacher may fail to achieve some objective because some pupils may be shy. It requires a proper and formal guidance by the teacher.
If the class is big, it can bring commotions. This method of teaching has great educational benefits. It is argued, if learning is worthwhile, it should not be confined merely to the hours students spend in the classroom. This method is applied in subjects like science, English, geography, History and many others.
Moreover, the syllabus for different classes in different subjects is so heavy that, it will be impossible to cover it so to improve this method a teacher should always at least give an aid of homework to learners on each topic covered in a day.
It is a valuable means of study without the restrictions of class work and supplements the teaching work done in the class.
It involves much repetition that is essential for fixing the lesson taught in the class. It develops the moral and intellectual qualities of self-reliance, self-direction and initiative in grappling unaided with the problem arising from the work.
It stimulates in the pupils voluntary effort to follow up the study of subjects that appear to his interests and accustoms him to revise and consolidate the work done in the school. It establishes a habit of reading regularly- a habit which goes a long way in the pursuits of knowledge. There is the risk of homework becoming oppressive and inflicting incalculable moral, intellectual and physical injury on the pupils and thus self defeating.
It gets students to have outside of class experiments that will support class learning and still not arouse their rebellion or 27 stifle any interest they have in learning. Many teachers use homework as a means of punishing the pupils. Conflicts between pupils and teachers may arise. The pupil-teacher and the students stimulate the particular role of a person or actual life-situation.
The whole programme, thus, becomes training in role perception and role- playing. It can be useful in civic education and other related subjects. Simulation method work in a group to improve this method a teacher should ensure to come up with groups each comprising of about three to five individual. One trainee for instance; in English Literature acts as an actor and the other provides the spontaneous setting for practicing specific patterns of behavior. The smaller the stimulated social skill training group, the more practice per person when assignments are related.
Stimulation establishes a setting where theory and practice can be combines ii. Stimulation required the teacher to be active participants in the process. There is no risk involved. The decision are made and carried out without physical or physiological harm to pupils.
Need for many simulators ii. If classroom teaching is to be carried on with this method, a lot of time is required. There is also a minimum of feedback sequence to choose from.
Analysis approach to problem — solving using this method becomes distinct. It encourages learners to do a research on a particular topic and afterwards, present their findings to the rest of the learners in the classroom. This method can be used in subjects such as geography, commerce and history. It can be improved by ensuring that learners take the serious active part in doing a research and a teacher should provide formal guidance in which they shall go about.
Learners are given chances to interrogate their peers on their findings. Learners are involved in participations in the study. Learners know what to study, since they are given an opportunity to choose topics to study of the own interest. It gives presentation responsibility to the learners. OB in the movies is a great way to connect. I really value the end of chapter material.
You have pioneered some enhancements in that arena that will give the Neck text competitive advantage. It offers a fresh take on some familiar material. I like the extended narratives running through the chapters. These extended narratives are very useful in linking together the concepts in adjacent chapters to real world situations.
The cases and study questions are especially useful to help students learn. About the Author Dr. Christopher P.

As a writer, she has worked on numerous texts, including business and economics, self-help, and psychology. Within the field of higher education, she has assisted in creating and writing business course modules for students in the United States and the United Kingdom.
She worked with Dr. Neck and Dr. She lives in London. During this time I have often lamented the quality of the text books in these areas. One the one hand, "management" texts fail to accurately characterize and incorporate micro topics.
On the other hand, "OB" text fail to accurately characterize macro topics. A false choice is created that fails to capture the intertwined "meso" nature of organizational, team and individual processes and outcomes in organizations.
Consequently, I find myself needing to provide many additional notes, bring in research insights, develop exercises, find cases, and teach the students how to apply critical thinking skills to solve real-world organizational problems. While my students appreciate these efforts and it helps their learning, I have long wished that a text book could added more value. At the risk of sounding overly positive, this book has really delivered. First off, it is fundamentally meso; it is the first book I've encountered that integrates and accurately characterizes micro-level topics e.
