How would you currently describe your overall approach to teaching in your classroom: traditional, process mastery, or constructivist? What works well in your approach? What needs improvement?

I feel that my style a combination of traditional and process mastery. I have a time frame for direct instruction the leads into centers and focus on individualized learning and mastery skills. I would like to improve on collaborative projects.

Having a collective style of educating works well in my approach to teaching, through understanding traditional, process/mastery, and constructivism. Since our students are all different in personality and learning abilities, it is good to know their learning styles, as well as the above approaches as an educator for an overall eclectic view.

My overall approach is more traditional, process mastery. Students needs to read, comprehend, and retain information or stories read. One adjustment I made this past year is allowing students to be more creative by incorporating more projects in the testing process. There are still rules and guidelines but it allows students to have some freedom with their creativity.

I believe traditional, process mastery. It is the way I was taught and I believe it’s and excellent method. Of course it is important to leave room for creativity and critical thinking, buy I think everything has it’s place. We as adults have traveled different paths already, the children are still learning to navigate the seas of life and I believe the best approach is for the teachers to guide the student to what they know is best.

My current approach is mostly traditional or process mastery. There are certain things I want students to able to understand about the Bible or about theology or certain skills that I want them to be able to develop such as hermeneutics. However, there are times that I set aside where I let students ask questions about what they don’t know. I try to touch on those things in my lesson, or if I need to do more research I do more research and do a lesson that covers that topic. For example I had a student give me a list of “Bible contradictions” that he was stuck on and the next day I set aside what we were doing and spent that course period on addressing those so called Bible contradictions to help the students see that they don’t need to be afraid, the Bible holds up to such scrutiny.
