I need to learn to break up the class content into 15 minutes units. If possible, I would like to have a real-world example of how the information will work in the field.
budgeting time for questions is just as helpful as cutting lectures down to 10 - 15 minutes lengths. it helps keep the attention of students more engaged
The hardest part of teaching is getting the students to learn something about themselves. They need to take the time to realize their strengths and weaknesses, and it is our job to foster them learning self-awareness. We give the content, push students to question their assumptions and then create opportunities forthem to learn about themselves.
Having a variety of educational methods will help students that learn differently. Break up topics with a lot of information, we can only retain so much and our attention spans begin to falter.
Within this topic i learned that learning styles will vary, and that all of the learning styles can be met without losing the goal of students obtaining and retaining material.
I’ve learned that people don’t all learn the same way, and that really matters when it comes to keeping students interested and actually remembering what we teach. Mixing things up, like adding real-life problem-solving examples into lectures helps keep them engaged.
It’s also super important to plan lessons ahead of time. It makes things smoother for both the students and the instructor. When you’re prepared, you’re more confident, and your students can tell.
Also, don’t be afraid to switch up your teaching style if something isn’t working. Flexibility is key. And lastly, building in moments for questions, discussion, or quick check-ins can go a long way in making sure students stay on track.
I learned that attending to different learning styles is vitally important to student engagement and retention of information. Additionally, a variety of lecture types, particularly problem -solving scenarios in lectures, results in high engagement. Lesson planning is vitally important to both student and instructor success.
There are many different learning styles and having variation in your teaching style as well as your lecture format will help the students learn more effectively as well as keep their attention better.
Do not feel bad if you find the groups all messing up the demo at the same spot instead pull the class together go into some more detail and then let them all try again on there own.
the 5 suggested lecture types/ breakdown is great knowledge to me which i will consider and pick a format with cues and greater organization.
rehearse your lecture to be prepared for the real thing. Make it interactive, stop at key points and ask students for insight and questions. Use visual aids as well as actual parts or tools to pass around while you explain
It is important to practice your lecture before the first time you give it. It is equally important to enagage all learning styles to maximize all students learning.
Don't overwhelm your students with lengthy lectures, break them down in increments. Be personable, keep your students engaged in in their learning. Break the ice and find the best ways your students learn and use the variety of ways they learn to keep them engaged to continue learning.
Mini-lectures are important. Come prepared and have practiced so you look/are competent.
Demonstrations are key for teaching technical skills, supported by 10-15 minute mini-lectures for theory. So I will be breaking my larger lectures down into smaller pieces that are more digestible. And I will make backup plans in case demonstrations fail.
I learned that the attention span of adults is 15 to 18 minutes. Which is good to know because I can structure my lectures with mini breaks for student to refresh their thinking and focus on topic.
You need to pay attention to timing as well as how you deliver information. Get ahead of how your students are receptive what your doing and change your format to create the most impact possible. Develop a rapport between you and your classroom in order to get a feel for how much as well as how to deliver varying materials during your classes.
I learned about the importance of breaking information into smaller chunks to accommodate to short attention span and using a variety of teaching styles helps keep students more engaged.
It is important to develop different styles of teaching delivery techniques for any given lesson plan so as to be able to cover different learning styles. Practicing your delivery beforehand helps develop clean repetitive teaching techniques
Using shorter mini-lectures is an effective way to deliver class content since the average attention span of an adult is 15-18 minutes.
