Using Questioning More Effectively in My Classroom

After following the methods of questioning and its uses I feel I need to revamp my questioning procedures.  I now know it is a best practice for any level educatior.

I will be reveiwing my lesson plans and rethinking a redoing my questioning procedures.  As I may be teaching some newly developed subjects on working on the new lesson plans I will be incorporating using more effective questioning.

 

Lecturing for more than 20 minutes at a time!

It is very interesting to find out that since I have been teaching for awhile to know that lecturing for more than 20 minutes at one time is considered not a really good teaching style.  I now understand that taking needed breaks by doing something else other than continual lecturing is something that I really have to work on.

Classroom Questioning

Although I do not class room teach very often, I find that open questions allow you to get to know your students better and allows them to be more comfortable with the teacher.

Flipping Your Classroom

I am very interested in flipping my classroom. With Anatomy & Physiology being a predominantly lecture class, I am the "queen" of "Sage on the Stage".  But lately I have realized that I want more...from myself as well as my students. I want them to really OWN the information that I have been giving them. And, I want to have more time to discuss and relate the material.  This is going to be a major transformation for me.  My first goal is to create a working model of the information that can be given in a pre-recorded lecture and developing… >>>

great class. gae me new insight and direction

 

Assessment Plans

This course helped me to foucs on how to prepare assessments and questions and gave me a lot of tips on reassing my previous assessment questions to make the most effective.  

Using Technology

I have found it interesting how students do with technology.  A great idea is when you have a mix of generations is to get students to share what they are good at and where they need improvement.  The net generation can help others with using technology and becoming comfortable with technology and the others teach the net generation a thing or two about 'soft skills'.

Reflection

Looking forward to completing more classes.  Hoping each course helps me navigate this program with more ease.  I do not think the delta-cee program is user friendly

Action Plan

I found the areas on peripheral learning tobe the most useful. As a result of the class I will take a much more structured approach to incorporate peripheral learning in the classroom envionment.

Active Learning

Does anyone want to share actual active learning activities used in classroom lecture settings (especially for culinary students?).  Think Hospitality Management or Cost Controls.

Managing you goals.

In the assessment, I learned to properly state your goals in detail. In ED 101 it taught me different types of teaching methods that I will incorporate into my class settings.

Great Inro course.

 

Questions

Discernment of types of questions and application will enhance the classroom experience

 

Preparation  of questions prior to class is a helpful recommendation

ED114 Action Plan

I found ED 114 very informative and I plan to build more open-end questions into my instruction.  I use closed -end questions very effectively already, but I never really thought about doing the extra and expanding the questions into open end ones also.  This has definitely me more to think about on how to imporve my teaching and the students comprehension of the material  M.

adult learner with learning disadvantage

Adult learners with learning disadvantages are extremly intelegent people,they are good problem solvers due to the fact they are constantly solving there own on a dailey basis. I have a great chance to help many diadvantaged leaners with some of the content in this course.

Retention

I had to take breaks reading this course because I realized I was reading and not understanding. I found myself going over important things on my mind and not absorbing the material I was reading. It really made me understand how a student feels when they are trying to absorb to much information. I really enjoyed reading the material and I think it will be really helpful to me

ED106

I found this very helpful

Starting the class

I like to greet students as they enter the classroom. This is something I have started as a result of this class. My students seem to have better attitudes and are always ready to go. Before this they seemed a bit disconnected at the beginning of class.

Concious of Learning Disabilities.

Since I became an Adjunct Instructor, I have prepared all my classes to accomodate students with learning Disabilities.

Because I have Dyslexia myself, I purposely created all my classes with the intention of teaching students with learning disabilities.

My Action Plan

For the first day of the new course i am going to make sure to include an actvity that incorporates the students' prior knowledge and to add in an activity that points out the relevency of the new information.
