- Summary:
-
This paper reports on the versatility of teaching models from several vantage points. First, teaching models are applicable to a variety of educators with varying curriculum concerns. Experience has shown that all educators can use some aspect of teaching models in their work with learners. Second, teaching models are relatively content free so that they may be used in a variety of subject areas. For example, Carl Rogers' Non-Directive Teaching model might be used to help youngsters determine where they feel comfortable in beginning their work in mathematics. Third, teaching models are useful in promoting a variety of environments. Experienced teachers concerned with the kinds of social environments that are possible to radiate through the use of various teaching models can nurture interpersonal and group skills or focus on individual goals, use tight-structured models or open-structured models. Fourth, teaching models are helpful instructional interventions for developing flexibility in teacher education. Various teaching models can be grouped into four "families" that overlap and have foci different enough to give broader views, which tend to extend the possible ways of thinking about teaching. The author concludes that all of us learn in a variety of manners and that instruction in teaching models has the potential for teaching more learners more effectively through a structure that analyzes and describes many ways of teaching.
