Learning Strategies Thesis

This paper deals with clarification of these theoretical starting points by empirical verification of the possible relation between teaching strategies and the satisfaction of students with the teaching process.

Social forms of work should be aligned with teaching strategies with the aim of encouraging students to be active, develop knowledge and acquire skills.

Particular attention should be paid to the influence of information technology on teaching strategies.

For the purpose of this paper, teaching strategies are defined as ”networking (appropriate correlation) of teaching methods and social forms of work and didactic teaching systems with regard to the goals and content of teaching and learning” (Jurĉić, 2012).

This definition is further complemented by defining teaching strategies as planned and thoroughly elaborated teaching staff activities in line with teaching goals and contents aimed at encouraging and assisting students during the learning process while respecting their nature.

The point of teaching is not just the implementation of the programbut the overall development of human potential of each student (Vican, Bognar and Previšić, 2007).”Emotional impressions of the teaching process regulate the relation of students to teaching and their degree of activity” (Poljak, 1990).A student who learns and creates in a pleasant atmosphere, with no feeling of fear, thinks faster and solves problems more creatively (Vizek-Vidović, Vlahović-Štetić, Rijavec and Miljković, 2014).The selection of teaching strategies in a particular teaching situation depends on planned educational goals, ie learning outcomes, the content of teaching, the individual abilities of students and their previous experience and the competences and attitudes of the teacher.The teachers can get feedback about their work and the effectiveness of teaching strategies from their students, by self-assessment and observation by other teachers (collegiate observation) or by the school’s professional service.Therefore, it is emphasized how important it is for the teachers to have computer skills and knowledge of information communication technology, as well as the ability to redesign learning and teaching process in the sense of combining the traditional teaching strategies with the possibilities offered by new technologies.Moreover, organization of working time, organization of working place, or creation of a stimulating environment for learning, determination of the parameters of functional learning outcomes and self-assessment as well as assessment of learning outcomes are also given importance.Students are the focal point of the teaching process.Relations and processes within the teaching process are closely connected to students’ emotions and their contentment with the teaching.Relations within the classroom are governed by the interrelationship of students and teachers and have a significant impact on the set goals of the curriculum.In accordance with the teaching content, individual characteristics of each student and their personal competences and affinities, teachers plan, create and apply different teaching strategies.
