The 4(four) components of the teaching-learning process are (a) curriculum (b) classroom environment (c) learner (d) teaching technology

The teaching-learning process or the education process

The teaching-learning or the education process refers to a systematic, sequential, planned course of action for the teacher and learner to achieve teaching and learning outcomes.

The five steps in the teaching-learning process are (a) Engage (b) Explore (c) Explain (d) Elaborate (e) Evaluate

Morrison’s teaching model

·       Henry Clinton Morrison developed an approach to learning in which material is organized into units, that students must master to progress to the next level.

·       The unit approach of Morrison is based on unit planning and transaction.

  • The correct sequence of five steps in Morrison’s teaching model at the understanding level is (a) Exploration (b) Presentation (c) Assimilation (d) Organization (e) Recitation

·       The Morrison approach is a revolutionary approach to teaching that allows for personalized learning, critical thinking, and active participation in the learning process.

Education

Education is an enlightening process of receiving and providing knowledge through systematic instruction.

Communication

 Synchronous communication

  • Synchronous communication is real-time communication where you can exchange information with others immediately.
  • Synchronous communication requires an immediate response.

·       Not real-time

·       No immediate feedback

·       Some examples are e-mail, message text, recorded classroom, blogs, discussion boards, and Vlog

Model of communication

Linear communication model

·       Linear communication model is one way.

·       There is no feedback

·       Components of Linear communication model are sender, encoding(words, pictures, symbols), and decoding.

·       Some common examples of linear communication models are newspaper, radio, TV, and magazine.

Transactional communication model

· The transactional communication model is a two-way communication model.

·       Both give and take take place (exchange or transactional).

·       Synchronous in nature

·       There is an immediate feedback

Interactive communication model

·       Interactive communication model is a new communication technique.
