PEDAGOGICAL Contents

            In the process of learning, a good teacher must be able to master the content (learning materials/materials subject) and master the science of teaching (pedagogy). Content is knowledge science that should be mastered by the teacher, including facts, concepts, principles, laws, and theory.  Each pedagogic approach is described succinctly so you can quickly understand how the technique might be relevant to your teaching.

Teaching Methods

The instructor is very active, doing all the talking. The teacher explained about the topic and give question for students so they can be active in class. The advantages of the lecture method areit saves time, the topic are covered, and permits flexibility. Meanwhile, the disadvantages are including boredom, passive students, and uneven gain of knowledge among the students.

Students in class will be more active and cooperative in the group activity.The discussion method also can increase students interest, acceptance and commitments.The advantages of the discussion method are increased student knowledge and experience, which results in more permanent learning.  The disadvantages are time-consuming, unwillingness of students during the group activity, and failure in reaching the objectives of lesson.
