METHODOLOGIES
(AUDIOLINGUALISM)
(DESSUGESTOPEDIA)
Audiolingualism

-Learning is meaningful and purposeful

-Train their ability of listening by lyrics
-Immediate reinforcement of correct responses

oDessugestopedia

- Learning is facilitated in a cheerful environment, so students can learn from what is present in the
environment.
- Sings are useful and evoking positive emotions.
- Music and movement reinforce the linguistic material.

THEORIES
(COGNITIVISM)
According to the activity:

(Cognitivism)andisalso known as cognitive development.The underlying

conceptsof cognitivism involve howwethink and gain knowledge.Cognitivism
involves examining learning, memory, problem solving skills, and intelligence.
Cognitivism refers to the study of the mind and how it obtains, processes, and stores
information (Stavredes, 2011). In this theory, learners are active participants in
their learning, and the mind functions like a computer processor.
Cognitivism is suited well for problem solving, where the concepts are complex and
must be broken down into smaller parts. Ideas and concepts from these problems are
linked to prior knowledge, which in turn helps the learner develop a stronger
comprehension (Stavredes, 2011)
Strengths: Organized structure to learning: information comes in and is processed
into short term memory before being stored away in long term memory. When
problems are broken down into smaller parts, learners are not overwhelmed with
incoming information and have time to process smaller bits.

PRINCIPLES
o

Learning is meaningful and purposeful

- Based from the activity, the students need to participate in the activity actively.
- emphasise meaningful contexts and the integration of language skills, allow pupils to learn by doing
fun-filled activities. Contextualised as well as purposeful activities will promote the fun element in
language learning.
- In order for students to understand and enjoy Social Studies, they must feel that it is meaningful and
see the importance of learning about the past. Teachers must challenge students by providing several
different ways to understand a given concept. They can tend to students of diverse backgrounds and
abilities in order to meet the needs of all students. Teachers can create learning activities where
students are able to make meaningful connections with the subject in order for them to see the
importance of learning a particular topic.

Reinforcement
- Positive reinforcement is saying or doing something that will encourage a person to repeat a
behavior.
- People want and need to be appreciated for their efforts.
- So, the teacher need to give positive reinforcement to their students to gain the positive feedback from
their students.
