DISCOVERING VARIETIES OF TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND WAYS TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND BETTER

We all know that each and every student has different learning and understanding abilities. Teachers might have faced difficulty making a few students understand the concepts. As educators, we have to master different types of teaching methodologies to teach different kinds of learners. We have to adopt a mixture of two-to-three teaching methodologies to teach a group of mixed students. In our research, we have taken four major kinds of learners, such as visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinaesthetic learners, for assessment. As a teacher, it is necessary to see from the perspective of students to understand whether all the students are able to make out the concept when we adopt a teaching methodology. If the majority of the students understand the concept with the teaching methodology we adopted, it is pivotal for the teacher to take an alternative teaching methodology to make those least number of learners understand it. “Discovering varieties of teaching methodologies and ways to make them understand better.” is a study conducted to analyse varieties of teaching methodologies that teachers use in the classroom to make understand different types of learners easier. The second motive is to know different ways to teach them in case the teaching methodology does not work. This objective is an important one, as a teacher should always have it in mind if it does not work. Since this study is not limited to a particular age group or specific subject, we have gathered information and collected data from all the available resources. This research helped us understand the different kinds of teaching methodologies that different subject teachers follow. Although most of the teachers follow almost the same teaching methodologies in some aspects, each and every teacher’s method differs, and some of the teaching methods are cutting-edge and practical. Most of the teachers said that all the teaching methodologies they planned didn’t work out. In those situations, teachers have taken alternate teaching methodologies to make the students understand the concepts easier. Moreover, except for one teacher, all the other teachers have revealed that their teaching methods and techniques are not completely effective; the shortage of minimum 2% to maximum 35% was there. The reasons they have given are the students' poor mindset, lack of concentration, and lack of interest. It is really surprising and enlightening to know that teachers can’t reach all the students, and it is one of the facts that should be accepted. By conducting interviews with a wide variety of educators, we gained new perspectives and ideas. Instead of taking interviews just with teachers, taking interviews with all the different kinds of educators gave us better results and, moreover, it gives us an idea about different kinds of subjects and all age groups.
