I learned how to execute my role as an instructor and as always connect with students and make sure they are learning everything they need to learn.
Variation in delivery of subject matter is beneficial for the many learning styles within the classroom. I think it also prevents the instructor from becoming content with a single method of delivery.
This course is a reminder that life happens for everyone, so you want to make sure the students are engaged and understand what's being taught to them.
I can speak from experience that students aren't the only ones with short attention spans. Delivering lessons in different styles helps the teacher stay fresh and focused on lessons too.
Having different lecture styles and demonstrations will hopefully help my future students love to learn and engage with the material for their careers.
Using a variety of teaching styles will address the different learning styles of students.
Presenting information in an organized way, using examples, and breaking content into manageable parts helps students better understand the material.
I believe it is extremely important to use a variety of teaching skills to adapt to the various learning styles.
Have all of your tools in place. Practice. Make learning fun and engaging. Keep your topics to 15 minutes and allow for questions. Vary your delivery.
My takeaway from this is to not just read the lecture but to expand on it and keep the students engaged in learning.
Their are many different learning styles such as written word, auditory, visualization, and tactile. Adding different delivery methods will cover the different learning styles the students have.
It is important to vary my learning methods to fit the content I am teaching and meet the learning needs of my students.
It's important that you stay creative and bring a variety of learning techniques into the classroom to keep your students engaged and participating. Break up your lectures into 10-15 minutes chunks.
Combining lecturer styles can help meet the needs of students with different learning styles.
While developing course content, I realized how critical organization and clarity are to student success. Creating structured lessons with clear objectives helped establish consistency and reduced misunderstandings. As the course progressed, the intentional design of the content allowed students to better engage with the material and understand expectations, reinforcing the connection between preparation and performance.
I don't feel like I fit into any one style of lecture. I guess I'm a combination lecturer. I beleive that it would be beneficial to hone my skills in one or two specific styles of lecturing, for the future.
I teach a biology course, which requires some form of lecture. I learned it's best to break lectures down into 10-15 minute mini-lectures for best delivery of content. Also, videos are sometimes better than lectures at converying information.
Be prepared for the class, practice the demonstrations beforehand. Know the material you are instructing on.
The lecture discuss about how to use different styles for teaching, which will help most of the students to learn and interact with the instructor
