Remedial Teaching-Strategies and Tips
How Does Remedial Teaching Differ from
Special Education?
• Remedial teaching specifically deals with concepts that
have already been taught in the class and these are re- taught to students with learning disabilities. • Special education on the other hand is meant for students with identified disabilities. Pointers to Designing a Remedial Teaching Program 1. Use proven teaching methodologies that have worked in the past Teachers are the main asset of a country because they are nation builders. Teachers and education systems play a vital role in building an individual’s character, and great teachers have set examples of changing their student’s lives. ‘More important than the curriculum is the question of the methods of teaching and the spirit in which the teaching is given.’ -Bertrand Russell The method is a process, procedure, or way something is done or implementing a plan. Strategy is the goal, set of actions, or plans to achieve one aim or something. example: strategy is how a teacher makes a whole year’s plan to complete a specific book or syllabus, and the method is how that teacher delivered the lecture or which way the teacher selects to do a task. Teacher centered method It is the method where the teacher is the only expert or an authority figure for the learners or students. Learner-centered method -the teachers play a dual role. Content-focused methods -the teacher can use the content- focused method when the content, set of information, or skill taught by the teachers or experts cannot be changed or altered. Interactive or participative method The teacher’s responsibility is to explain the key points or the importance of following the interactive or participating method during class in general so that students may not resist following it. The lecture method Teachers mostly use this method for a large class. In this method, the teachers pick a topic and explain its basic definitions, facts, events, principles and clarify the whole point of the subject or topic with relevant examples and problems. The discussion method The role of a teacher is to introduce disciplined group discussion techniques among students and clear the concept of the topic meanwhile. The study assignment method In this method, the teacher or an instructor assigns a task to students before the class. The tutorial method This method is also known as online tutoring, and it demands more money and time, unlike other teaching methods. The seminar method In this method, the instructors make groups of students work on their projects and then ask them to exchange the information or techniques used while completing the project. The demonstration method The demonstration method is the kind of teaching method in which the teacher has to perform something or an operation to make its learner understand deeply and clearly. It can be the functioning of a tool or equipment, teaching troubleshooting, performing a certain job or an operation or anything. Direct teaching The direct teaching method is commonly used in all institutions as it makes the teacher or an instructor directly communicate with their student within the school or institution premises. Online teaching method The teacher and the learner can offer a flexible timescale, which is unrestricted to time and place. Both can communicate with each other via email or any other digital support. Independent study or practice teachers mostly assign the same task to each student to practice or study it from home on their own, and then the other day, teachers evaluate the task and solve the students’ queries. Types of teaching strategies ‘Tell me and I forgot. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.’ Classroom management The etiquette of a class is matters, and so does the management of the whole class. Develop an atmosphere of learning The atmosphere of learning matters the most because no matter how well the teacher or an instructor delivers the lecture, it’s futile if the atmosphere does not support that all students are willing to learn or excited to start the new chapter or topic. Celebrate achievements Teachers should assign certain achievement levels with a reward to keep the whole class motivated to learn and do better. There is no failure. Only feedback. – Robert Allen Flexible seating The appropriate seating in the classroom that keeps the students comfortable is the utmost teaching strategy. Active learning The discussion break between the lecture and asking students to submit the clearest point after the lecture keeps the whole class attentive, and it’s called active learning. Focus on student’s interests When teachers focus on a student’s interests, it helps them understand the nature of their students way better, and ultimately, they follow the teaching method that can be more effective. Differentiated instruction One of the most useful teaching strategies is differentiated instruction. In this strategy, the teacher assigns tasks to each student based on abilities and interests. Personalized learning Teachers should focus on personalized learning strategy a bit too much. Students should review their content once learned. Peer teaching method The teacher should follow the peer teaching strategy sometimes. It is being said that ‘to teach is to learn twice,’ which is the same case with this strategy.
