Diving Deeper Into Teaching Methods

The FTCE evaluates your knowledge of advanced teaching theories to ensure you can address diverse learning needs. Key theories include:

  • Constructivism: Learners actively build knowledge through experience.
  • Behaviorism: Learning is shaped by reinforcement and consequences.
  • Cognitivism: Focuses on mental processes and understanding.

Applying Theories in the Classroom

  • Use hands-on activities (constructivism) to help students discover concepts.
  • Implement reward systems (behaviorism) to encourage participation.
  • Teach study strategies (cognitivism) to improve comprehension.

Connecting to FTCE

Expect scenario-based questions that ask you to choose teaching strategies based on specific theories.

Examples

  • Choosing a learning activity that supports constructivism.

  • Using positive reinforcement to manage classroom behavior.
