Plain English Meaning

Full Definition
The specific methods, procedures, and approaches an instructor uses to present material, guide practice, and develop skill in a learner. Teaching technique covers how the instructor explains, demonstrates, questions, corrects, and evaluates -- the practical mechanics of delivering instruction effectively.
Context Anchor
Seen in instructor training and lesson planning when discussing how an instructor provides clear, effective instruction.
Derivation
From the Greek 'tekhnikos,' meaning 'of skill or art.' Technique refers to the practical method of doing something skillfully -- so 'teaching technique' is the skilled method of teaching, not just the knowledge being taught.
