Make sure there are different examples of each learning style in your teaching. Since students learn differently, multiple ways are needed.
Most important concept I grasped from this module is to try various combination of teaching styles in the classroom. Using various teaching styles allows a more effective learning environment, and breaks the monotony of traditional lecturing
Using a number of teaching styles and learning styles really offer students more engagement opportunities to take away the knowledge you're presenting.
It was a very interested subject especially to my field of study taught me how to keep the students paying attention and be very interested of what you are telling them by impeding the lecture with what stories you have experienced in your life career .
Have a developed and well planned lesson plan
I took away the importance of developing good lessons plans and using a variety of teaching styles will set up yourself for success and engage your students more effectively.
I do not have to develop course content; however, I do have to develop the lecture based on the set objectives.
I will have to work on grouping my lecture into segments of 15-20 minutes. It is a good idea to insert discussions or an activity in between topics to give students a bit of a 'brain break' and to also implement varied teaching styles.
When material is lengthy in lecture, break up into 15 minute blocks with activities. Though I may need to develop additional activities, it seems as it is necessary to achieve higher learning for the students.
it is important to work around these facts:
The attention span of most individuals is in the 15-18 minute range.
We generally only remember about 25% of what we hear.
We normally only retain 40% of what we read.
We can listen 4 times faster than we can speak.
Course content is the basis for all learning and lesson planning.
Test demonstrations before doing them with the class. Develop lesson plans with different teaching methods
A combination lecture may be the best way to keep students engaged.
The attention span of adults is around 15 to 17 minutes. I plan to apply different learning styles such as- written word, auditory, visualization, & tactile.
Have a variety of teaching techniques. Start class in a dramatic and enticing way to grab their attention. Get to class early to read the vibe of your class.
Small bites (shorter, 10-15 lectures), practice ahead of time, and occasionally tape yourself to see how you're really presenting when you teach.
Develop lesson plans incorporating different styles of teaching. prepare prior to the demonstration or lab work.
I need to incorporate varying learning styles throughout the lecture to ensure the success of all the students.
I really like the idea of passing out note cards to students and having everyone write down their questions during, then collecting and reading at the end. I wish my instructors did that!
Ensure to incorporate multiple content delivery methods in order to accommodate different learning styles of students
