Key Points Synthetic method
The word “synthetic’ is derived from the word ‘synthesis which means to combine. In this method, we combine several facts, perform certain mathematical operations, and arrive at the solution. In this method, we start with the known data and connect it with the unknown part.
It is the process of putting together known bits of information to reach the point where unknown information becomes obvious and true. Thus in this method, we proceed from hypothesis to conclusion.
It is lead from:
- Known to Unknown
- Hypothesis to Conclusion
- Concrete to Abstract
- Simple to Complex
Analytic method
The Analytical Method is a generic process combining the power of the Scientific Method with the use of a formal process to solve any type of problem. Analysis means breaking up into components.
The use of the Analytical Method is critical to solving the sustainability problem because it appears that current processes are inadequate. They are intuitive, simple, and based on how activists approach everyday problems. All scientifically based problem-solving approaches use the analytical method.
Demonstration/Laboratory Method
- The most effective way to teach an occupational skill is to demonstrate it. One of the two most essential teaching skills is the ability to demonstrate; the other is the ability to explain. Both are vital to the success of either an operation lesson or an information lesson.
- The demonstration is defined as a method of teaching by exhibition and explanation. It implies the presence of an organized series of events or equipment to a group of students for their observation.
- It is a combination of lecture and laboratory work. The teacher makes the use of classroom and demonstration table area in the classroom to teach and demonstrate.
Jigsaw Method: This technique is a method of organizing classroom activity that makes students dependent on each other to succeed. It breaks classes into groups and breaks assignments into pieces that the group assembles to complete the (jigsaw) puzzle.
Hence, we conclude that Synthetic method moves form known to unknown or from concrete to abstract.
