Great concepts on standardization vs. inclusion
Holistic learning aims to develop all aspects of a student's potential. This approach helps our students become well-rounded individuals who can adapt to various situations in life. The focus on real-world applications of knowledge makes learning more meaningful and enhances students' understanding of the concepts. Holistic learning allows students to develop skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-direction, which are essential for lifelong learning.
Its important to emphasize intention in a variety of teaching methods, and to be constantly mindful of student to student interactions. by creating an enviroment where learning is achieved over memorization, the students will see greater long term results
Learning preferences refer to the ways individuals prefer to learn, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic methods. Learning challenges, however, are obstacles or difficulties individuals may face in the learning process, such as attention deficits or language barriers.
Learning preference helps increase engagement when instruction is tailored towards those mediums preferred by the instructor's audience.
Every individual is different from other individuals in this world and every individual possess a different learning style
The central challenge is the processing of information, which is different for different students and has nothing to do with intelligence.
It's important to cater to student strengths and give them a variety of ways to both learn and demonstrate their learning.
Every student has different learning style and different learning challenges. Teacher should be "inclusive" about teaching and assessment method.
Offer a variety of learning materials and resources that cater to different learning preferences to help with lessening learning challenges.
Learning preferences are the way that a student can retain information.
This module reviews the difference of learning styles (a preference of the ways someone likes to learn), and learning challenges (a barrier that may exist for a learner, including a disability). By using inclusive practices within the instruction, all students will be able to access the learning materials. The module stresses the importance of using holistic assessment to capture students' learning through rubrics and opportunities to demonstrate learning within a portfolio.
We are better institutions of higher learning when we encourage inclusive excellence
I understand that we must be flexible to testing and checking to make sure our students have learned what they need to know. I do support holistic methods as well as standardized testing, but in reality, it really depends on the subject matter. Some people don't respond to written tests or quizzes, but if you present a public 'review' of material in an interactive, entertaining way (i.e. like a 'Game Show Quiz), you should accomplish the same goal.
Learning preferences and learning challenges are important to teaching. Knowing the difference can help your students succeed in school.
Assessment is necessary to see the start of a class and where the students came from and knowledge they have.
All tests should have a holistic approach
This module taught me about the learning challenges and preferences of diverse student populations.
holistic approaches are really valuable
Being inclusive to all forms of learning preferences can help overcome learning challenges.
