The learning needs of older and younger students can differ significantly. Grouping students strategically encourages peer support and collaboration, which is an effective way to keep everyone engaged and interested in the material.
I understand that individuals learn in different ways, particularly when there are age differences among students and variations in their prior learning experiences.
From this course, I learned the importance of being patient and approachable to ensure students fully understand each chapter. I also learned that keeping students engaged and tailoring the learning experience to meet individual needs is essential for their success.
Making a student feel comfortable to the class by trying to listen and to accommodate the skill level level in the learning process. Identifying each students needs and getting to know the students is important as well.
I learned that diversity is an important component to understanding the specific nuances of each class set and individuals. Each student will have something important to bring to the table. Each student learns differently. Each has their own goals. I think learning about the student as much as possible in the first part of courses is key to success for the whole class.
Implementation: I would have each student fill out a form about themselves that would allow me to get to know them better as a reference sheet. This would help me better build lessons and improve participation and rapport.
I learned that there are many motivations for students to continue in education, and why they may choose to quit. I learned we as instructors play a significant role in the success of the students, by understanding the student motivations as well as understanding the student as an individual learner. Identify each student and teach to those needs. Students have intrinsic motivation and extrinsic. Know what we can help with and when we need to refer to another.
I learned about the problems that can get in the way of learning and how to deal with them. Talking to students and understanding their POV will help deal with any issues that com up.
Making a student feel seen and heard, can not only resolve a lot of issues. It can also make them feel like they are contributing and give them the confidence they need to succeed.
I use the identification of intrinsic and extrinsic student needs to guide my daily classroom and practical practicesI lab time create learning experiences that build skills, confidence, and motivation while reinforcing why students chose this program.I maintain a safe , structured, and supportive environment that promotes belonging, professionalism , and real-world expectations.By addressing both technical and soft skills, I help students move from external motivation to internal drive, supporting retention and long- term career success.
I learned that I cant teach the same way to each student. I am going to have to get to know each student and teach them in a way that makes sense to their personal needs
Learning how to instruct students with different personalities, different learning styles, and keep them engaged at the same time keeping them at the same speed of learning.
What I have learned is that all students learn differently and have different cultures beliefs
I have learned that there are differences in learners based on the age group!
Amazing course! Getting to know my students is pivotal to success
in this mod i have learned many differ types of learning and teaching techniques
“Excellent insight into the realities of diverse learning styles and the importance of adaptability in creating the most effective learning environment for our students.”
Presentation or delivery of information is only a part of the education experience.
I learned to appreciate the different ages of students in an adult learning environment, and how that may actually make for a more self regulating learning group.
Great info about the realities of different learning styles and the need to be adaptable to connect with and provide best learning environment for our students.
It so satisfying to be able to meet a student where they are at in their learning style, their life experiences, culture, and life stage. This module stressed the importance of understanding the factors to look at when working with a diverse group. I really appreciated the advice of not letting students turn challenging situations into a gripe session but at the same time, letting the students know you are listening and have heard them. In most environments in the real world the ideal often does not exist, so helping students to pivot in a classroom may be good practice for preparing them to be in the field. This problem-solving skill will help students in their professions and show them they can be problem solvers for the everyday challenges they will come across.
