Creating an Accelerated Learning Environment --> Other Considerations
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
You cannot put a price on caring. The truth is, if faculty care about their students they will do the things necessary fopr them to be successful. if they don't care, they won't.
I specifically enjoyed the suggestions related to primacy, recency, uniqueness, emotion, visual, and information chunking. I will be using these as I plan activities within my course.
Classic examples of accelerated learning can be applied to modern scenarios.
Never heard of this particular thought process, but it is very interesting to think of all the people i have seen fail that claimed their skills were above average, makes me think if there was someone that was either waiting for them to fail, and those that succeeded were expected to succeed, and that the way they were treated was the reason why it went one way or the other. very interesting.
I've learned that positive thinking about a students learning helps the student learn. I plan on keeping equal and high expectations about everyone's learning abilities.
I am hoping to use this to my advantage and help the students stay in class.
It is very important for the instructor to know the subject very well. That way the instructor can deliver the information in a way that is not just reading from a slide show.
asking for feedback from the students can help you in ways to help the course flow more smoothly. always looking for ways to improve how the information is being received. instructors can learn just as must from the students as they do from instructor
I learned that backward chaining—teaching the end goal first and then working backward through the steps—can be a powerful tool in an accelerated learning environment. By starting with the final skill, students see the purpose of their learning upfront, which boosts motivation and clarity. I plan to apply this by introducing end goals early in lessons, then guiding students step-by-step to build the skills needed to achieve them.
Learning thing you can do to increase clues to memory location and even though there's a few Primacy is important as is sets the tone for learning.
create a positive environment with positive thinking practices that encourage students to grow.
Construction of a class flow plan is key to the engagement of students. Trial or "alpha" classes can be utilized to perfect this.
Memory is important in accelerated learning because it drives how well learners retain new or changed learning. To accelerate learning, a person must learn AND recall more effortlessly.
positive thinking goes a long way, you must believe in the students and they will in return believe in themselves.
A reference manual is created to answer learners' questions about a topic they already have some experience with. It assumes that the learner will be able to format the correct question and will know what to call it so she can look up the term.
If one knows the materials, presents them well, and knows the material, the students have a far better chance at success.
this is good content. be open to change, adjustment. the smaller the group, the easier to implement the adjustments you want to do.
There is a teaching modality called backwards chaining that can be effective. It involves teaching the end skill / application first. Then the instructor works them through the steps to get there for the required proficiency.
Setting high expectations for all learners is extremely important. This is something any teacher can apply.
