Creating an Accelerated Learning Environment --> Other Considerations
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
A reference manual is created to answer learners' questions about a topic they already have some experience with. It assumes that the learner will be able to format the correct question and will know what to call it so she can look up the term.
If one knows the materials, presents them well, and knows the material, the students have a far better chance at success.
this is good content. be open to change, adjustment. the smaller the group, the easier to implement the adjustments you want to do.
There is a teaching modality called backwards chaining that can be effective. It involves teaching the end skill / application first. Then the instructor works them through the steps to get there for the required proficiency.
Setting high expectations for all learners is extremely important. This is something any teacher can apply.
So far I've learned about the information delivery and why it is important as well as how course evaluations are done.
Backwards chaining and reflection will help
Monitor the success and failures of the class as you go along. At the end of the day, reflect on the events and actions that occurred.
Students can rise to your expectations.
It was interesting to learn about backward chaining since this is a different approach to the usual process of working from the objectives to the goal. I'd be interested in trying this out to see how it works.
I learned a lot about building retention, and the strategies I will use this to ensure students are retaining important information.
Asking students for feedback is essential for progression in the program.
The Pygmalion effect was totally new to me. I also like the thought of reviewing after each class to see how stratigies are working or not working for the learner.
To expect the most and the students will perform better. Also Change things and improve as you go.
I had not heard of the Pygmalion effect, but I am glad it is something I am already incorporating! I also enjoyed learning about the different ways to tap into memory. It will be extremely helpful to start thinking about in my lectures.
I leaned how sequence pertains to course objectives and what course evaluation should include.
Be prepared to change after the first couple classes evaluate what weeks and what does not
Some really good information in this class, I hadn't heard of the Pygmalion Effect before but I can truly see how we as instructors can help or limit our students we must be careful to not allow first impressions to set our exspectations for our students.
Comment on SETH SORONNADI's post: I agree that this is one of the ways to determine in the instructor is an effective educator. This could assist the instuctor on how to best improve their teaching techniques.
