its important to vary your teaching styles
Begin engaging the students as soon as the class begins. Prepare demonstrations in advance.
Always practice demonstration before class to make sure it goes as planned. Errors can distract students from their learning experience.
Use different methods to teach students that would keep them involved to help them learn.
A good lesson plan will help new instructors tremendously. When demonstrating labs make sure all students have a good view and go around to the students when they are practicing the skill and commend them!
Incorporating different learning modalities is important. Some studetns learn better when they read, some of them learn better with visual aids.
I typically vary my delivery in lecture and offset lecture with lab alternating to keep them engaged, but this gave some additional ideas to keep them on task.
When delivering course content, find an organization system that works well for you. Make to do lists, outlines of the lecture, goals, demonstrations ect. Make lecture time 15 minutes then have a discussion or some other activity to keep the students focused and interested.
I learned that instructors should incorporate multiple types of learning styles in their material presentation. This will ensure your teaching reaches every type of learning method.
Using a variety of teaching methods is key
It just cemented what I already know
Create 10-15 minute mini lectures while keeping in mind individuals' atention span is approximately 15-18 minutes.
Prepare before teaching a course and always review procedures prior to teaching them.
We may have individual learning styles that we prefer, but we need to ensure we are meeting our students learning styles in lecture.
I learned that using a variety of teaching methods will be instrumental in student engagement and learning.
I have learned different ways of giving lectures to students.
Be observant in how you deliver the content to students by demonstration. Practices before learning sessions can increase the numerity and likelihood of overall retention.
There are many ways to teach. trying to inlude lecture/audio/visual is best as it captures most students. students have an attention span of 15-18 minutes so mini lectures are best.
There are different ways to teach. Lecturing is one of the oldest but also has to be creative, education, and captivating. People have an attention span of 15-20 minutes therefore make those minutes count.
Through "Delivering Course Content" module, I learned about different learning styles and different lecture formats and delivery options. I can apply these different formats to maximize the class' understanding of the material.
