Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Attention Span

After doing this module I was surprised at what the actual adults attention span was!!!!!

Check and Balance

I am a firm believer in giving a pre and post test on the subject matter the very first day of the course. This accomplishes a couple things. One would be where the class is from a knowledgeable standpoint and where you are as an instructor, from a teaching standpoint. This helps give the class a clear objective on what type of material is going to be covered and what is expected from them.

when your instructor is handicapped in a motorized chair.

What techniques could be used for the handicapped individual in a chair to be able to get around the room during your presentations?

Classroom Trust

The moment an instructor walk inside the classroom the student knows whether an instructor could command respect or someone they can manipulate in the process. Proper conduct,house rules needs to be set and timely short humour at times helps in order for them to understand that instructors are humane and trust will serve as there foundation.

Attention span

I thought it was very interesting that the average attention span for an adult is only 15-18 minutes.

first day of class

I have found that the first day of a new class sets the "tone" The introduction of the instructer and students is a valuable tool in understanding my students needs as well as his or her goals.

student involvement

Ask all students ask a question. Then have another student answer the question.

Real world problems

I have found that when I give the class a work packet that has real world problems from actual shops with cars that had these problems the students can see that they will be forced to try and solve problems that may not be in a diagnostic manual. This teaches them to look at the symptoms, analyze the information that is presented to them and try to come up to a single conclusion to help diagnois the problem. The students really seem to enjoy this type of brainstorming in their groups and it really shows how well they are getting the covered material.

E-learing

Why not use e-learning to cover all three of the learing Styles

Delivery Methods

Entering the instructional arena for the first time will involve a lot of trial and error. After only two days of classroom instruction I can see the attention span of many of the adults is approximately 15-18 minues. Application on the visualization and tactile style of learning will be essential with students entering the medical profession.

Instructing for the first time

Although working in the field for 16 years, as a new instructor it will be very challenging to share the infromation in a format that will keep adult learners motivated. Patient education flows without problems; as they are interested in their well being.
