The importance of connections among students and between you and your students.
This information will guide the instructor in various approaches to utilize in the educational experience. I would say try several methods to see what works best for you. When taking risks, take small steps, one at a time.
This presentation was excellent and helped me think about implementing activities that would hold the students' interest and increase participation in the class.
Which instructional methods encourage students to improve their critical thinking skills?
Active learning encourages students to think critically.
The first day of class needs to be interactive. Get to know students and allow them to get to know each other. Facilitate those opportuntities for them to connect.
Planning ahead and using check lists can improve confidence and performance in class. This allows instructors to take time to connect with students and improving learning outcomes.
Modeling professionalism goes hand in hand with credibility as an instructor. Showing students that you care starts from day one.
I really like the idea of having the students watch the recorded lecture and then come to class with 3 things they learned and 1 muddy point. We use a ticket to class that they are encouraged to complete while watching the recorded lecture but we can not make it a requirement so of course some students do not complete the TTC. Maybe having them identify 3 things they have learned might have greater compliance and having them identify a topic they could use more explanation on benefits them.
