It is important to vary styles in teaching to be effective to all students.
I learned the importance of having 15–18-minute lecture blocks to keep students engaged.
Using the various teaching styles to maximize the engagement and attention retention of the students. Variation of style for the sake of variation isn't necessarily optimal. Use a style that best fits the days lesson. Be prepared and practiced for demonstrations, and have a backup plan in case of material or equipment failure.
Utilize different delivery methods to address all learning styles. Prepare for and practice it. Develop rapport with the students.
In this module I learned that with each student, the teaching style will be different. It is important to take the time to understand the students and figure out how each student learns best.
Break up the lecture with other activities and give 15 minutes for questions.
Having a variety of teaching methods helps the students stay engaged.
To vary methods of instruction in content delivery
coming up with a good plan to engage with a variety of students and keep them focused is easier when you have open ended questions. move around the classroom and keep everything interesting.
Preparing before a class is very important.
Precise preparation must allow for flexible delivery.
Using different methods and techniques will add variety and interest as well as meet the learning needs of different individuals.
The module is helpful developing techniques in how to define clear, measurable learning objectives that align with the course goals and student needs.
You can never be too prepared for a lesson. Plan ahead using differing learning styles, and practice any skills or hands on tasks ahead of time to ensure smooth delivery.
Taking notes in order to improve our next lecture is a outstanding idea!
Throughout a class I need to always keep in mind that learning occurs in 3 ways: learning new content, questioning assumptions (student will either change mind or not) and learning something about yourself.
Use a variety of teaching methods to acomodate differed styles of student learning.
This was a wonderful reminder of the various teaching methods and the value of each.
Practice demonstrations prior to class.
I will definitely keep in mind the 5-7 steps as what a learner will retain. Including different learning styles will help me in developing practical and engaging lectures and ways to get the information across.
Develop learning for all styles of learning.
