Student Learning and Assessment--> Teaching to Learning Styles
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Every lesson should have a little of every learning style incorporated into it. This helps all students regardless of their learning style but also introduces them to the idea of learning in other styles as well which will help for their future career as a technician.
I appreciated the idea of pulling a student aside after class and praising them for their engagement and comments in class.
It was amazing lesson learned. After taking the course I know what kind of learner I am. I am sure there are many more great things we will learn in the turotial.
Amazing to know various learning styles. It was such a Eye opener.
When engaging the students in discussion or physical(Lab) participation, it not only engages the two students involved but tends to create a class discussion. This also is a way of the students introducing themselves to each other. I find it's a win all around. I love to see students learning from each other.
Using diverse curriculum delivery such as lecture, handouts, videos, hands on activities and problem-solving tasks will help instructors to reach every preferred learning style.
This module is a reminder that students are not only different culturally, but also their ability to learn, understand and retain information. You must determine who learns in what format and then roam the classroom and address the students in a format that will serve them best.
each student has a different learning style and they benefit from different types of teaching methods
This module reminded me that students can engage with and process information in different ways, and that relying on only one method of instruction may not work well for everyone. I intend to apply this by varying how I present information and giving students opportunities to see, hear, discuss, and practice new concepts. In my CTE classroom, this is especially important because students are learning both technical information and hands on skills. I can demonstrate a process, provide written or visual instructions, and then give students an opportunity to apply what they have learned through a project. This gives students multiple ways to engage with the material while still keeping the learning objectives consistent.
Knowing the difference between the different learning styles and what styles your learners prefer will help them better understand the concepts taught. I plan on learning my student's styles and designing lesson plans around that to better reach them.
I learned that students have different preferred styles of learning and that it is important to use a n equal mix of these styles to insure everyone is grasping the information
This module helped me to understand that students learn in different ways. As an instructor it is really important to identify these needs and try different methods to reach each student.
I appreciate the opportunitites of learning for all learning styles and this can be most effective to reach all students mind.
This module taught me that everyone learns differently and as an instructor I need to learn different teaching methods to reach all of my students. I plan to apply this by using visuals, hands on activities, demonstrations and discussions in my class. I believe that being flexible and understanding of how my students learn will help them feel more engaged and become more successful.
During this module, I was surprised to learn that teaching using the students preferred learning style can improve grades by 10%. That could be a full letter grade difference. I plan to use this information by incorporating as many learning styles into my instruction as possible, ideally all of them.
Offering opportunitites of learning for all learning styles will be most effective to reach all students in the class.
I understand now that you need to have knowledge and understanding or develop a certain rapport with your student to be able to identify their individual style of learning, so they can be more successful in absorbing the information of your teaching.
By that you can also discover the unknown strength of the students and can push them to their highest potential and set for achieving their goals.
Careful planning is required as you select delivery methods. Experience will show you that you can capitalize on these differences.
I learned that students have different learning styles, and effective instruction should use a variety of teaching methods to reach learner. I plan to apply this by incorporating visual demonstrations, hands-on activities, discussions, and clear verbal explanations into my lessons. this will help keep students engaged and give them multiple ways to understand and apply the materials.
not only should you be adaptive to the different learning styles but incorporating each different style into your lesson is key
