3. Ask them to pay attention
4. Change the teaching method 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Change the teaching method 

If students are not taking interest in your teaching, then you will change the teaching method.

• The term teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction.
• Teaching methods can be organized on two major parameters: a teacher-centred approach versus a student-centred approach.
• Teacher centred instruction is where the teacher is the centre of knowledge and in charge of learning.
• Student-centred learning, also known as learner-centred education, broadly encompasses methods of teaching that shift the focus of instruction from the teacher to the student.
• According to Stones and Morris ”Teaching method is a generalized plan for a lesson which include structure, desired learner behaviour in terms of goals and instructions and an outline of planned tactics necessary to implement a strategy”
• Some Teaching Methodologies are:
  • Lecture Method
  • Demonstration Method
  • Question Answer Method
  • Roleplay method
  • Project method
  • Inductive method
  • Deductive method
  • Brainstorming method
• To make the class more interesting, the teacher should change his/her teaching method or blend two or three teaching methods.
