When instructors prioritize student needs, listen to concerns, and show genuine care for their success, students feel valued and supported.
This module taught me different ways to ensure each student participates (in some way shape or form). This was helpful because the lesson touched on different dynamics that I have experienced and witnessed before. I will apply this new knowledge by asking for anonymous feedback, asking open ended questions, asking students what they FEEL about a topic, walking around during discussion, and promote group work.
An instructor should engage students in a variety of ways to make the learning material interesting and meaningful. Building rapport with each student is essential. Students’ interest and focus in a subject are also influenced by the instructor’s commitment to delivering the course material effectively.
Instructor should engage in different ways to make the learning material interesting to the students. Instructor should develop a rapport with each students. The students interest and focus towards a subject also depends on instructors commitment to the course material as well.
Cognition and tactile experience enhance student retention of materials. "Learnativity" Learning is a process and not everyone is going to learn and retain in the same way. The brain likes novelty and gets frustrated if the stimulus is not stimulating. There is emotional as well as working memory types and it is important to take both into consideration.
Develop rapport with a student is very important and we can do this by opening up and sharing our experiences, open our minds to new ideas and not judging. Listen and be more tolerant. Engage the student- involve them in questions and ask their opinions. Watch for non-verbal cues from them but also check yourself.
REFOCUS. I think this acronym is fantastic. I also do like the re-evaluation at mid term and generally do use it. I love to surprise the students and agree this is very impactful to learning. I like the "tell a story" part and use it as well, but can tend to go long...an area I constantly work on improving! I have already thought of a "crisis Idea" and cannot wait to use it in class.
not every student is going to learn the same way. So make here there are different activies for each lesson so that each student has the chance to engage in some way
no matter what happens, always look for ways to keep the students engaged.
What I have learned is getting different ways to keep all the students engage.
Stories of firsthand accounts can be highly effective in a class setting.
I look forward to gamifying troubleshooting processes. Muahaha.
Let there be no dead are in the classroom. keep the students engaged, otherwise there attention will drift.
Be engaged and they will be engaged.
Respect students, engage in their learning and try to find a connection to relate to them
Engage constantly and refocus as needed to keep students on track
An instructor should keep students engaged for best results.
Stories are a good way to break up the lecture into manageable chunks and relate experience to the material.
By using both cognitive (mind) and tactile (body) aspects in the learning process, retention of material is significantly increased due to the learner developing a working memory of the material.
Build rapport, so they actually might want to listen to you and then of course keep it exciting and change it up frequently to keep engagement
learned to keep course learning fresh, lively a use techniques that will engage students.
From this module, I’ve learned how essential it is to create a respectful, student-centered environment that values each learner’s experience. Adult learners thrive when they see the relevance of the material and feel supported by an instructor who is fair, caring, and genuinely invested in their success. The “human factor” in teaching; showing empathy, respect, and consistency. Plays just as big a role in learning as the course content itself.
