Develop the overall curriculum and build the teaching units

The link between skills, information, knowhow and teaching methods

Reminder

Implementing a skill means tapping into three sources:

  • The cognitive domain = 'to know' (Knowledge)

  • The sensory and motor functions domain = ‘knowhow' (Practical skills)

  • The emotional and psychological domain = ‘attitude' (Interaction skills)

To apply these domains to teaching methods, we select the most appropriate response and calibrate according to the challenge at hand:

  • The cognitive domain = ‘to know'

    • presentation, lecture, lesson

    • case study

    • finding solutions to issues

    • demonstration

  • The emotional and psychological domain = ‘attitude'

    • study of representation

    • group work, simulations and roleplay

    • real life situations

Complement

Obviously, the choice of teaching method also depends on the budget, materials and equipment available:

"Have the teaching staff been trained to use a range of teaching techniques?"

"Are the budget and available materials sufficient to allow planning field trips, placements or practical work sessions?"

"Can the documentary resources be consulted easily by the students?"
