I learned confidence and the delivery way of each lecture is different on each student, not everybody learns the same way and not everybody studies the same way, to teach and learn different techniques for each student it helps them all to learn the way that is best for them.
Proper preparation is key to delivering an effective lesson to students. Being able to adjust teaching styles will help to maximize the amount of students that retain the information being given.
Do the lecture a discussion get the students involved . Make the class more active .
Practicing or demonstrating topics before lecture or class is a great way to see how things will go.
Engage with your students let them know what our past experiences are and make them feel comfortable
Practical demonstrations and class interaction are extremely important, we bring electrical testing boards into class and use them during lecture for additional hands on and theory application.
Delivery of course content is one of importance aspect of effective teaching to establish student learning, engagement, and success, as it impacts their understanding, motivation and overall learning experience.
Delivery has to be top notch when explaining content to students. In return they will learn the importance of delivery in their career path when working with their peers and leaders. Clear communication and precise information will keep students engaged and motivated to learn. When the instructor brings high energy into the classroom, the students feel the tone being set for the lecture. Developing different delivery styles is important to reach a variety of students in how they learn.
Mini lectures are more effective for retention purposes
Utilizing a teaching outline to help stay on task and breaking down lectures into 10-15 minutes is helpful to keep students engaged and myself organized
I found the 15 min increment in lecture piece as well as the fact that adult learners tend to retain pieces of information in 5-7 bits at a time interesting.
Make key notes to trigger your memory and make sure you cover what you intended when lecturing. Keep lectures between 15 - 20 minutes long and then switch to demonstrations. When conducting the labs make rounds to each group or individual performing the labs to make sure that everyone is using safety methods including PPE and make sure to give complements and mini demonstration as you go if needed.
keep students engaged by using 10-15 minute lectures. use the addition of guest speakers, videos, and other supplemental materials.
Use various delivery methods. Break into groups as soon as possible for hands on training and exercises. Encourage students and give feedback.
15 minute mini-lectures may be more valuable to the students than an uninterrupted long lecture.
Be prepared by practicing the material. Chatting with students when you arrive early when possible. Focus on what they've expressed to you, and learn for them, it helps instructors become better educators.
Preparation is key, the more prepared and detailed you are, the better your lecture or lesson will be. You'll be able to communicate to the students more effectively by putting the course content in your own words or terms.
This section taught me to prepare myself and be comfortable before demonstrating before the class.
From this course I learned that being organized and prepared builds confidence in you as a teacher from your students and sets everyone up for success. Having a clear teaching outline will ensure that you are both meeting goals and staying on track. Different students learn in different ways so changing up your teaching style is also important.
I've learned that delivery or course content is very important to students' success! Be creative and have several ways to explain or demonstrate.
