From this module, I have learned the importance of thoroughly preparing for each lecture and ensuring that I incorporate variety to keep the students actively and meaningfully engaged.
Teaching styles are different and we have to learn to utilize different methods of organizing and presenting class content. We also should select appropriate content delivery options. Once we recognize categories of learning styles. We can then Identify different lecture formats and select lecture format appropriate for class being taught.
Doing so involve us to plan ways to use demonstrations to deliver content.
The importance of recognizing people are individuals and need to learn in different formats. These learning styles need to vary throughout your course.
Varying the teaching style, adult attention span of 15-18 minutes, we remember about 25% of what we hear and retain about 40% of what we read were all helpful tips.
keeping lectures s15 or less with different approaches for all
When planing, consider different learning style.
This gave me a better idea of how to break up a lecture especially when the attention span is only 18 minutes.
The best way of teaching is by making the course and interactive course in which the students work together and I get to work with them as well.
practice demonstrations before class
It is important for all instructors to use several different learning styles when creating a class.
Varying my teaching styles to reach many students at their level. Practice my demonstrations beforehand.
I will definitely do demonstrations beforehand so I am sure of what I am doing to teach the class. I love PowerPoints and how they are good resource for teaching. I would also vary my teaching style to reach as many students as possible.
Using different styles of teaching based on audience. Breaking demonstrations up into smaller segments.
A varied teaching style keeps students engaged and dedicated to the learning process. Everyone learns differently, and you must try to reach as many students as possible.
Using a variety of lecture methods will keep the students engaged and alert to the rooms discussions and will hopefully create more engagement between students and instructors, along with getting to apply what's been discussed in lab in the shop right away to create a positive "I've learnt something today attitude and student is excited to apply the new knowledge. that creates a positive reinforcement of the days lesson plan.
Determine the lesson content, goal(s).
Provide a rationale (why do they need to learn this, objectives, delivery methods, materials and aids.
The lesson plan are guiding principles - not strict blueprints.
Preparation must allow for flexible delivery.
Ad-hoc adaptations will add an element of artistry to any lesson plan and delivery
Develop flexible teaching strategy – one size does not fit all in terms of each student especially adult students who have become used to being a certain way.
Vary your delivery to address as many learning styles as possible.
Lecture format flexibility and variety to keep students focused and break up the monotony.
Be aware of the various learning styles and incorporate them into your course. This method will provide the greatest amount of students the opportunity to learn the material being taught.
Learning to pace one's self is important in the delivery of your lesson plan. I would like to focus on that aspect to make sure I don't run over or under the class time. I plan to allow enough "breathing room" in the lesson for students to ask questions prior to moving forward. By doing this I will have a way to double check that the students are understanding the lesson without leaving anyone behind.
be properly prepared for your lessons. be able to reach all students and their learning capacities
How to become a good teacher. Taking the time to prepare before class so the class is set up for success. How students and people have different learning techniques and how to incorporate them.
