The idea is make sure the strategy is identified and then used by the students. You are not only building the knowledge base of your students but will be giving them strategies that will help them learn the content. You will be adding learning "tools" to their mental "toolboxes." Your students will start to look for these strategies in your future lessons as well as develop strategies of their own.
The decoding and recoding was a significant lesson for me and gives me a better understanding of how material ought to be presented.
This section was a good reminder of various learning strategies that can be used to both decode and recode information. I find graphic organizers, guided notes, and mnemonics to be helpful when I am learning new material. I think my role as instructor is to be aware of and observe students to determine if they need assistance with "learning how to learn", at which point, I can demonstrate and/or use some of these strategies in the classroom so students can incorporate the ones that might work well for their learning style.
Provide clear direction for a path of learning.
This module was a good review of various learning tools to helpo my students better decode and recode new infromation. I will definitely incorporare more visual diagrams and guided notes into my future lesson plans.
I really like the idea of guided notes and grahic organizers to help the student learn important note taking skills and to help them outline the key concepts they will need to know.
Great fun creating mnemonics.
I learned from this module the importance of understanding how learners decode and recode course content. Selecting instructional supports such as scaffolding, guided notes, graphic organizers, and mnemonics enhances student learning. There are different ways to help students retain course content, but in the end, reviewing needs to be done to evaluate if the teaching methods used were effective or if any changes need to be made. As an educator, I am constantly assessing and evaluating my teaching styles and methods. By knowing what works and what does not, I can make the adjustments to achieve my goal of being an effective instructor and helping my students retain the course content to help them complete their course.
Guided notes are useful and helpful, especially for the student who has been out of the classroom setting for a few years, letting them know what will be covered
Scaffolding and Mneumonics
I always use Mnemonics in my class its amazing how the students are able to recall facts quickly.
Students need a clear definition of what is required of them for each course.
Guided notes and mnemonics and games always seem to be a good way not only to learn for the students, but you get to keep them engaged while learning and retaining informatio.
