Teaching Method: Different teaching methods are used by teachers as per the requirements of students. For choosing the one, the teacher may classify students based on their abilities (ability grouping) or he can choose it based on the compatibility of the topic.

Methods of Teaching Focus of the Method
Collaborative Method 
  • It is a teaching and learning method that requires the active participation of the learners to help each other in groups.
  • Students team together to explore a problem area and work out a solution by sharing their ideas with each other.
  • It is not individualized as it is a group activity.
  • In a nutshell, it is a method of instruction that basically involves grouping students to work together towards a common academic goal.
Co-operative Method
  • It is a teaching method where students of mixed levels of ability are arranged into groups and rewarded according to the group's success, rather than the success of an individual member.
  • It is about supporting children to work in teams—small or big.
  • One of the essential elements of cooperative learning is the development of social skills. 
  • They are able to see points of view other than their own. Such benefits contribute to the overall satisfaction of learning and schooling.
  • Students work with classmates who have different learning skills, cultural background, attitudes, and personalities. 
Constructivist Method
  • It is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information.
  • Constructivism is 'an approach to learning that holds that people actively construct or make their own knowledge and that reality is determined by the experiences of the learner'.
Team teaching
  • It is an innovative approach to teaching large groups in which two or more expert teachers are involved in planning, executing, and evaluating the learning experiences for a group of students.
  • It involves a group of instructors working purposefully, regularly, and cooperatively to help a group of students of any age learn.
