BUDDHA TEACHING METHODOLOGY & APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The Buddha's teaching methods have been proven to help learners achieve their learning goals according to their learning potential. Lesson learned from Buddhist teaching methods is that the Lord Buddha used learners as the center of educative process.  There are three crucial components, 1) Understand leaners’ s needs, aptitudes and learning potential. To achieve this goal, teachers need to assess their students’ learning potential. 2) Select the right contents that match the learners’ potential and learning ability, and 3) Apply the right teaching method, approach and media that matches learners’ leaning styles. When teachers integrate these three components in their teaching plan and preparation that align with Buddhist teaching methods, it will enhance the teaching efficiency.
