An excellent adventure

This was an EXCELLENT ADVENTURE through this last course ED112, I truly enjoyed learning what does motivate some indivduals. As the saying goes "you can please some of the people some of the time, however, you cannot please all the people all of the time".

Motivating Students-Student Retention

I enjoyed learning about how to enhance my active learning techniques.

Lessons Learned

I plan to use what I have learned to offer better instruction in class.

Valuing Achievement

Valuing one's achievement in learning is part of a higher learing enterprise. It is when we recognize and value those who achieved in learning that our desires to promote learning have true purpose and bear results. 

Learning empowers humans

Learning is not only to know what are established as knowlegde but facilitates creativity as well. It is when we learn and know how to add, that we think how to multiply. 

Reason facilitates learning

Although an imperative process that is understood at a higher stage, learning is more appreciated when we know the reasons why we learn. We humans live better and effectively when we solve problems effectively, both in startegy and time, in whcih learning offers the tools of that job. 

ED102

The assesment criteria helped to provide some insight on structural and behavioral pattersn of both the studen and teachers alike.  The data collected allowed me to prcess the material which help to utilize such information moving forward throughout my career. 

 

 

Enhancing student retention

My action plan involves re-engaging the student, via constant background aknowledgement and also creating diverse strategies that will help them realize how having passion for their career can make a difference when added to their academic skills learning goals.

Personal experiences with education

I remember my educational experience during my ADN program. I lived in fear everyday during clinical rotations. The instructors that stood out in my mind were the kind and understanding human beings who valued teaching and more importantly facilitated learning. The few instructors that I feared were not approachable. They were task oriented. The primary focus was on the task being accomplished.

I began to see the changes in the educational process during my BSN program. The focus was on critical thinking. And my instructors were promoting education for all nurses at the highest level. I felt that my experience… >>>

Connecting with Students

As a Psychology Instructor, I am always mindful of how my students are connecitng to the course, myself and their peers. These courses support and reinforce what I am already doing with my students and they were great to review.

Student learning

I like to have feedback sessions with students to findout what they enjoy about the course and what they need help with or find to be of a challenge.  I think that having continuous sessions of feedback and learning what works and what does not is very helpful in instructing.  

Awesome information

Great insight on information and ways of teaching student 

Love what you teach

If you love the subject matter your students will flourish.

More Situational Awareness (Psychology)

The course was quite interesting as and experience instructor. Psychology classes should have some case studies with no right or wrong answer but real world situations.

Generations

I,m going to vary the style of information delivery from one generation to the other so all student feel confortable they are recieving the information they need to be successful.

Security and Autonomy

It was refreshing to learn about the terms security and autonomy with regards to how to influence student motivation.  For me this new information is a form of constructivism.

 

All the best,

Education matters

I believe it's important to take the time to enhance our class delivery and enforces all the key components of our most resent training. 

ED112

It's important to allow the adult student to feel that the information they are presenting to the class during an activity or project, are part of what they work on during the Autonomy process.  

Wisdom/Best Practices

Repetition with concepts till it becomes second nature.

Motivate students to be engaged in discussion. Be creative and making it interesting/excite thier interest/tell them relevant stories and make it fun.

Connect and be relevant to their generation

Constant feedback (both positive and opportunities) 

Allow students to state concepts,demonstrate and re demonstrate and encouarage and allow them to teach for reinforcement and retention.
