What is Strategy and Kinds of Strategy

1.      The Definition of Strategy
a.       Strategy is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty. In the sense of the "art of the general", which included several subsets of skills including "tactics", siegecraft, logistics etc., the term came into use in the 6th century C.E. in East Roman terminology, and was translated into Western vernacular languages only in the 18th century. From then until the 20th century, the word "strategy" came to denote "a comprehensive way to try to pursue political ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a dialectic of wills" in a military conflict, in which both adversaries interact.

b.      Strategy According to Henry Mintzberg
Henry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning, points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four:
1.      Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there.
2.      Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy.
3.      Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets.
4.      Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction.

c.       Strategy is a method or plan chosen to bring about a desired future, such as achievement of a goal or solution to a problem. Strategy is the art and science of planning and marshalling resources for their most efficient and effective use. The term is derived from the Greek word for generalship or leading an army. See also tactics.


2.      Kinds of Strategy
1)      Lecturing
Lecturing is a well-established “traditional” way of teaching.  There are some good educational reasons for delivering a lecture.
a.       Coverage – Using lectures to be sure that all main ideas relating to a course or topic are presented to the students.
b.      Understanding – Using lectures to be sure that things students may have trouble with are all explained or clarified.
c.       Motivation – Using lectures to try to enthuse students and encourage them to pursue the subject areas for its own interest and value to the students.

2)      Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a structured process that should take place without evaluation of the ideas generated during the process.  It can be very effective means of helping students channel their ideas and /or get the ideas flowing.  Brainstorming sessions and activities have the potential to last a majority of the class session.  It is wise before conducting a brainstorming session to decide how much time you as a teacher can afford to allot towards this activity.
There are several different brainstorming techniques.
1.      Discussion – Vary discussion formats to keep things interesting.
2.      Drawing – Brainstorming without words.
3.      Free write and share – “Think out loud” on paper.
4.      K-W-L – What do we know, what do we want to know, and what have we learned.
5.      Think-Pair-Share – Team up and learn from each other.

3)      Cooperative Learning
Cooperative learning models the attitudes and interactions that are important in society.  By working with others, students can see different points of view and solutions to a problem.  According to recent research, students learn more effectively when they work cooperatively than when they work individually or competitively. Students are more positive about school, subject areas, and teachers when they work in cooperative groups. Students are more positive about one another, regardless of ability, ethnic background, or handicap, when they work cooperatively.
Another benefit of cooperative learning is improved self-confidence for many students. Because the teammates become responsible for one another's learning and have a vested interest in one another's success, all the students tend to be more successful. Success builds self-confidence. By working together, students find out that each has something important to contribute to the group's work, and, as they find out that their ideas can be useful to others, students become more self-confident.

3.      The definition of Picture Series
Picture series are some pictures representing continuous events of a story with important information. Picture series is a technique with the use of a form of entertainment that enact a story by images giving the illusion of continuous movement. Series is a group of related things or events.
4.      The definition of Story Script

A distinctive writing system, based on defined elements or symbols generally known as a "script" Script (Unicode), collections of letters and other written signs used to represent textual information in writing systems, each assigned to a Unicode number.
