SELF-TEACHING BASED ON FEYNMAN TECHNIQUE: A POTENTIAL META-COGNITIVE TOOL FOR TEACHER CAPACITY-BUILDING

Abstract

Learning is a relatively permanent change that takes place in one’s knowledge, behaviour or capability as a result of one’s observation or experience. Individuals have different learning styles and preferences. Active learning is a method of learning in which students construct their own knowledge experientially through active participation and interaction with a dynamic learning environment. There are several active learning strategies like - group discussion, debate, collaborative learning, peer tutoring, elaboration, dual coding, brainstorming, problem solving, project-based learning, flipped classroom, SQ3R technique, spaced repetition, think-pair-share, mind mapping and self-teaching. The present article discusses how self-teaching based on Feynman’s Technique is an effective learning strategy and can be a valuable tool in teacher capacity-building.
