Teaching Styles

A Question:

Have you ever thought about how each

classroom teaches things differently?

In this article, we answer what are teaching

styles, why are there multiple teaching styles,

what are the different styles, and which style

works the best today?

Why different teaching styles?

Everybody learns different ideas at different times

at different paces. Some people can learn

something on the first try after being told what

to do whereas others might need to have hands-on

experience in order to learn and possibly repeat

it a few times to really get the hang of things.

Different teaching styles are necessary because

the students need to be able to learn what the

teacher is teaching. However, the choice of

teaching styles used can also depend on the

school mission statement, the classroom

demographics,the educational philosophy of the

teacher, and most importantly, the subject area.

Types of teaching styles:

It is helpful to think of teaching styles according

to the three Ds: Directing, Discussing, and

Delegating. Throughout the last century,

traditional teaching methods have undergone

significant changes; brought on by social,

cultural and technological developments.

1-The directing style

It promotes learning through listening and following

directions. With this style, the teacher tells the

students what to do, how to do it, and when it

needs to be done. The teacher imparts information

to the students via lectures, assigned readings,

audio/visual presentations, demonstrations, role

playing, and other means.

Students gain information primarily by listening,

taking notes, doing role plays, and practicing what

they are told to do. The only feedback the teacher

looks for is “Do you understand the instruction

Suggestions for using the directing style:

Start with the big picture.

Provide the context before launching into specifics.

Be clear and concise.

Students need to know exactly what they must do

to succeed and by what criteria their work will be

evaluated. Clear goals, specific deadlines, and

concise directions increase student motivation and

eliminate confusion. Wordy, sloppily written, and

poorly organized instructional materials confuse,

overwhelm, and discourage students.

Provide sufficient detail.

Communication breakdowns occur when important

details are omitted or instructions are ambiguous.

For example, when I once neglected to specify the

font size students should use, the papers they

turned in had font sizes ranging from 8 to 14!

Don’t sugar-coat the message.

There are times when teachers need to be very

direct and candid to get through to students.

2-The discussing style

It promotes learning through interaction. In this

style, practiced by Socrates, the teacher

encourages critical thinking and lively discussion

by asking students to respond to challenging

questions.

The teacher is a facilitator guiding the discussion

to a logical conclusion. Students learn to have

opinions and to back them up with facts and data.

Suggestions for using the discussing

style:

Prepare questions in advance. Great discussions

don’t just happen. Ask one question at a time. Be

open, curious, and interested in learning what each

student thinks.

Don’t allow one or two students to dominate

the discussion.

Solicit everyone’s ideas and opinions. Gently draw

out students who seem insecure and reticent to

participate. I sometimes start my classes by saying,

“I want to give each of you one minute to discuss

your views on this topic. Let’s go around the room

and hear from everyone.” Get closure by reviewing

the key points you want to make.

Have students create questions. I like to have

my students read a case study and formulate three

questions to ask their classmates. We then discuss

their answers in class.

Utilize clickers. Clickers are an easy way to get

students involved during class. Pose a multiple-

choice question and their responses are tabulated

on the screen. You can then open it up for

discussion as students share why they selected a

certain answer.

3-The delegating style

promotes learning through empowerment. With this

style, the teacher assigns tasks that students work

on independently, either individually or in groups.

Suggestions for using the delegating style:

Assign research projects.

In my management course I require students to

interview a manager of a local business to get

answers to questions like the following

What are the main performance measures your

company uses to evaluate each employee’s

performance?

What are the key lessons you, as a manager, have

learned about conducting effective performance

appraisals?

Assign team projects.

Have each team select a team leader, define roles

and responsibilities, and hold each other accountable

for completing the project on time. In my

management class, I have teams of students

analyze the management and leadership behaviors

on movies like Remember the Titans and Crimson Tide.

Assign a capstone project.

Let students show you what they can do when

working independently on a topic that’s important to them.

4-Mix of each teaching style.

I typically structure each of my classes to include

some amount of each teaching style. However,

during the first part of a semester I use more of

the directing style.

In the middle part of a semester I typically rely

more on the discussing style. And in the latter

part of a semester I generally lean more heavily

on the delegating style.

Using an appropriate mix of teaching styles

helps students learn, grow, and become more

independent. Too much reliance on one style

causes students to lose interest and become

overly dependent on the teacher.

5-The Authority Style

The authority style is primarily used in a lecture or

auditorium setting, whereby the teacher will give a

lengthy, one-way discussion on a pre-assigned

topic whilst students take notes and memorize

key pieces of information.

Though popular in higher-education when there

is a large group of students present, the authority

or lecture style is less common in the standard

classroom setting. This is because the strategy

offers little to no student participation, making it

impossible to meet the needs of each individual

pupil.

6-The Delegator Style

For subjects that necessitate group work, peer

feedback or lab-based learning, a delegator or

group style of tutoring is often adopted. As a

delegator, the teacher may take an observer role

to promote collaboration and encourage peer-to-

peer learning.

Despite becoming increasingly popular, some

critics consider the delegation or group style to

be a poor teaching strategy given that it

removes the teacher from a position of authority.

7-The Facilitator Style

Teachers who adopt a facilitator or activity-based

style encourage self-learning in the classroom

through increased peer to teacher learning.

Unlike the lecture style, teachers ask students

to question rather than simply have the answer

given to them.

In this style, activities are used to promote self-

discovery and develop problem-solving skills,

which can often lead to the student developing

a much deeper understanding of the topic.

There are however, downsides to this technique:

as the facilitator, teachers must actively interact

with individual pupils, which can be difficult in a

large classroom setting.

8-The Demonstrator Style

Like the lecture or authority style of teaching,

the demonstrator retains authority in the

classroom. However, instead of relying solely

on a verbal lecture, the demonstrator style

combines lectures with other teaching forms,

including multimedia presentations,

demonstrations and class activities.

This style is particularly well suited to music,

art and physical education subjects, where

demonstrations are required to fully understand

a topic. In other areas of study however, the

demonstrator style may not be suitable.

Like the authority style, there is little direct

teacher to pupil interaction, so it can be

difficult to accommodate the needs of all

students.

9-The Hybrid Style

Some teachers adopt an integrated teaching

style that incorporates their personality,

preferences and interests into their teaching.

This strategy is known as the hybrid style,

and is popular in subjects like English,

Science and Religious Studies.

Teachers who use the hybrid style are able

to tailor their tutoring for different pupils,

incorporating extra-curricular knowledge to

develop a deeper knowledge of a particular

topic.

10-Student-Centered Approach

In a student-centered approach to learning,

teachers and students share the focus and

interact equally while the teacher still maintains

authority. This can be beneficial to students

because group work is encouraged; thus,

communication and collaboration are used and

encouraged. However, due to the fact that

students are talking, classrooms may be noisier

and may be more difficult to manage.

One method to use is inquiry-based learning

which makes the teacher more of a supportive

figure (rather than completely authoritative) who

can provide support and guidance throughout

the learning process. By being an inquiry-based

learning facilitator, the teacher and student

undergo the learning process together with

student learning lightly guided by the teacher.

By being the personal model, comparable

to the personal model in the direct instruction,

the teacher acts as the guide and mentor to

help enable students to learn by observation

and copying the teacher’s actions.

By using the delegator method, teachers act

as a support for students, are able to answer

questions and most importantly are there to

provide a sense of freedom and independence

for the student.

Another method commonly used is the

cooperative learning style where students

work in small groups and the teacher can act

as the facilitator, where everyone learns

together, or as the delegator, where the teacher

gives more free-reign to the student while still

pointing them in the right direction.

11- Teacher-Centered Approach

In the teaching styles, specifically the teacher-

centered approach to learning, the students

put their attention on the teacher, students

work alone, and collaboration is prevented.

This is great because students are, in theory,

quiet and paying full attention to the teacher

while being able to make individual decisions.

However, a student may suffer in their

communication skills and feel unable to ask

questions due to the fact they normally work

alone and quietly. Plus, this classic method is

sometimes thought of as dull and uninteresting.

12-High-Tech Approach

Inquiry-based learning can involve technology

by asking the students a question about the

world and they have to do some research. The

findings could be presented in the forms of a

website, self-made videos, or PowerPoints.

Another high-tech learning option is game-based

learning which encourages students to develop

a “maery” mindset rather than focus too much

on grades.

Students develop problem-solving skills by

working on accomplishing a specific goal (also

known as a learning objective) by choosing

actions and different activities and then

experimenting with them to achieve the goal

13-Low-Tech Approach

low-tech teaching method is differentiated

instruction. Although this is a student-centered

teaching style that aims to meet a student’s

specific needs, it is mostly implemented by the

teacher.

Used commonly with students with special

needs, differentiated instruction became popular

in the United States in 1975 when a law was

passed that ensure every child has equal access

to an equal education.

Some examples of differentiated instruction

could include having students read books at

their own reading levels or offering different

spelling tests to different students depending

on their literacy ability. Due to the lack of

necessity to use technology and the adaptability

of the teaching style, it’s a low-key and traditional

teaching style.
