BUDDHIST TEACHING METHODS FOR ENHANCING TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS IN THE MODERN ERA

Abstract

This article presents "Buddhist Teaching Methods to Enhance Teaching Effectiveness in the Modern Era." Although various teaching methods have emerged today, with online media serving as a crucial communication tool, after analyzing different teaching approaches, it has been proven that the Buddha's teaching methods can help learners achieve their educational goals according to their learning potential. From the study of Buddhist teaching methods, it was found that the Buddha used a learner-centered approach, with three key components in the following order: 1) The teacher must understand the learners, knowing their needs, aptitudes, and potential by using needs assessments, aptitude evaluations, and basic knowledge tests to help the teacher comprehend the learner's capabilities. 2) Selecting content appropriate for the learners by choosing reasonable content and structuring the teaching sequence in a way that is easy for learners to understand. 3) Organizing teaching methods, transmission techniques, and selecting appropriate and engaging media. When the teacher integrates these three components into the planning and preparation of lessons according to Buddhist teaching principles, it will help make teaching more effective in achieving its goals.
