People learn in a variety of ways, it's important to teach in a variety of ways to increase learning in all students. Practice, practice, practice.
The goal is to include all learning methods into the lecture
A solid lesson plan and note to refer to. When showing how to do something keep it to 5 to 7 steps
I think adding the extra variety will help keep the students more engaged in the course material.
I learned about the different teaching styles. How to better help my students and to be well prepared.
I think as a beginner instructor, I am really going to implement practicing or demonstrating lecture before class
My main take away from this lesson would be attention span. Trying to keep the students interested and involved can be difficult and will be something I will be working to be better at.
Keeping the lectures to 15 minute bites; using tools such as ipad for key words.
Being a surgical tech instructor, I always feel that with anything thing you should start with the basics. We as surgical techs have to cover a lot of materials such as sterile technique and its purpose, surgical procedures, and surgical instrumentation. which further goes into surgical specialties and the different surgical procedures in each specialty. I feel that teaching a basic minor set up is a good start for any case, but you build on to that set up as your progress into different procedures.
This module focused on the different teaching styles that can help instructors be inclusive and show equity in the classroom. I also believe the importance of prepping before giving a lecture is fundamental to students.
I learned to make sure that all students have about 10-15 minute attention spans and start to get distracted around the 7 minute mark. To be an effective instructor I should vary the teaching style to accommodate each type of learner.
Keep your delivery sessions shorts and include variety of learning styles to meet the needs of the majority of the students.
Use a lesson plan to guide us thru the day. Remembering to include varied styled of teaching to keep student engagement during the day.
Using a variety of methods to teach the given material will help the student learn without being bored. Prepare for your class by figuring out how you will present the material. Make notes on what went well and what didn't so the next time you teach the class you can adjust how you teach this class.
I intend to make my lecture more interactive and break it up into 15 min blocks.
Vary delivery from lecture to other learning methods
I’ve learned that students respond differently to different teaching methods. When I’m lecturing I plan to use the different teaching styles to convey the information I want to get through to my students. I will also demonstrate methods or skills to them and use teach back techniques to help guide the evaluation of their learning.
Using a variety of lecture and teaching methods will keep your students more engaged in the course material.
Using various teaching styles is the key to successful delivery of the material. It is important that all demonstrations are practiced before the class. A plan B in case demonstrations do not work should also be considered.
