To achieve the goal of teaching, the teacher must adopt effective teaching methods in education. The

Demerits of Discovery Teaching Method 

---

 

 



 

It’s  found  not  statistically  significant  because  of  differences  in  student  scores  on  tests  and  lab 

reports 



 

Discovery learning does not enhance students’ retention of material 



 

Retention is improved only when the learning task is based on previously understood principles 

How it can be improved  

What  teachers  should  do  to  improve  the  use  of  discovery  teaching  method  is  apply  a  variant  of 

discovery learning which is sometimes called ―guided discovery‖ that involves the instructor providing 

some guidance throughout the learning process. Once this is done, the distinctions between discovery 

and guided inquiry or problem-based learning tend to disappear.

 38.MODELING 

 

Modeling is a type of visual aid for teaching as well as learning. It is a known fact that human brain 

absorbs  more  and  understands  better  when  visual  aid  facilitates  explanation.  This  method  works  on 

three  criteria  -  observing,  retaining  and  replicating.  The  students  learn  more  by  observing  the  things 

and acquire it by imitating it time and again. 

39. DRILL METHOD 

As its name, this method which is employed when it’s necessary to repeat some information into the 

minds of the learners. This method can be employed to complement other methods.  

ADVANTAGES 



 

It provides a learner with a focus on accuracy 



 

It provides a learner with intensive practical hearing and saying  particular words or phrases. 



 

it provides a safe environment for learners to experiment with producing the language 



 

It helps the learners notice the correct form of pronunciation of a word or phrase 

DISADVANTAGES 



 

It is hard for learners to focus when done of too often 



 

learners who learn only by drill may get distracted and bored with practice drills, especially if 

they have already mastered the skills 



 

learners may not be truly learning

HOW TO IMPROVE THE METHOD 

This method can be made effective if the teacher he, himself is active in the way he does things 

and also by guiding the learners in order for them to understand fully.
