I have learned that learning is individualized and unique for students. Teachers must take into account who their students are individually and their learning needs to be successful.
Learnt that they are different kinds of learners, and on has to teach to include all of them.
I have learned that the traditional way of teaching is outdated and not beneficia for today's students. Instuctors need to engage all of their students and pay close attention to the different learning needs of each student. Instructors that engage different activities in the learning environment will keep all students engaged. Keeping students engaged helps with retention.
The loner's Personality supports her learning style.. The instructor's honoring of the student's learning style, normalizing the student's strengths, provides a good environment to enhance this student's learning and confidence in how she learns.
Each student learns in a specific way. It is the job of the instructor to provide an educational process for each student. One size does NOT fit all.
This module, about the different types of learners was interesting. It makes some great suggestions. I think there are a number of ways to implement some of the Ideas. I thought "touchy" was maybe a bit more difficult to engage in the current pandemic, But maybe I could have students make flash cards, ie something to hold with the information I am attempting to teach.
There are a number of ways I could create compare and contrast type projects, or responses.
My personal experiences can be impactful
Having key words in the handout / material is a great tool to use to encourage students to read assignments and be prepared for the next class
I now have an understanding of multiple intelligences and will be better informed so that I can provide a good lab and clinical experience for the students.
I like the loner ideas for those students a journal or a month at a glance caledar what they can focus on.Meeting with them to review is helpful.
I like the idea of an embedded code word in the readings that can be spoken to the teacher the next time class is given. I think this will encourage students to carefully read the text rather than just skimming content.
Using a string and signs is a way to engage learners kinesthetically. For library instruction, this can be done for the parts of an APA reference (e.g. author. date. title) or a structured abstract (purpose. method. results. conclusion).
Every student is an individual on their own which you must be able to recognize the differences in their learning abilities.
