Teaching Methods and Bloom Taxonomy
Common Teaching Methods
- Lecture method: teacher explains, students listen. Good for large groups.
- Demonstration method: teacher shows how something is done.
- Discussion method: students share ideas and think critically.
- Activity / project method: learning by doing.
- Inquiry method: students explore questions and discover answers.
Bloom Taxonomy (Cognitive Domain)
Six levels of thinking, from simple to complex:
- Remembering
- Understanding
- Applying
- Analysing
- Evaluating
- Creating
Key Points
A good teacher chooses the method that fits the topic and the learners, and plans questions across all levels of Bloom Taxonomy. This topic is important for teaching tests such as PPSC, CT and pedagogy papers.
