I don't remember learning too much in the first encounter with new information, so it is easy to see that revisiting information for students will reinforce the learning objectives.
I dont use the term review but end of class wrap up and do a quick discussion about what did you learn/takeaways.
review and be repetitive on topics is a big task ill use to make sure everyone is understanding the topic discussed
Reviews are great tools to keep the students in the subject of the class
Pretesting and reviewing are two very good ways for both the student and instructors to evaluate what has or hasn't been learned.
Students need to feel valued.
Something always comes up in review
Reviews can be just as helpful for instructors as it is for students. Pre testing is a way to gather information at the beginning of class
Making classroom content relevant to the students is crucial. If they can connect to the material and visualize how it impacts them retention is always greater.
How can I show the students the relavancy of the course content, and how I can use review to make sure that they are understanding it.
the Importance of course content is so important and by pretesting we can have more insight of the expectations of each individual.
Utilizing pre-tests is a great way to guage the student's position during the very beginning of a course. It also is good for the instructor to tailor course content and position themselves to spend more time on certain subject matters that the class as a whole need some more attention to, based off of the results of the pre-tests.
Reviewing the material on a daily basis is good for both the student and instructor. It keeps everyone on track.
I learned the most from the "making immediate application" and pretest sections. Its something my delivery has lacked, and I can definitely see when my students start to zone out. The mini lectures followed by application will be easier to implement now that I have a solid foundation for my courses, and pretesting will help me fill any knowledge gaps that may be present in my courses.
Frequent reviews as part of a formative assessment of teaching and learning keep both instructor and student on track for learning.
There are all kinds of review methods. In fact, there are so many different uses of the review process that students often tune out when the word review is mentioned. Think about the many different ways reviews are used in teaching.
I like the idea of begiining each class with a quick quiz to assess student's previous knowledge and then at the end of class to assess new knowledge gained. I often used project based learning and reviews.
One significant thing I will consider impementing is the use of the pre-assessment. This will allow me to anticipate what a given batch of students will be weak with and thus, what I must strengthen as an instructor.
Sometimes I forget the review step in learning and how importatnt it really is. I often used project based learning strategies and review is not something that fits in seamlessly with that.
I have previously used content pre-tests, and I think they are useful in demonstrating to the students what they will learn over the course of the semester, however, I think a pretest based on student attitudes might be more telling, in so far as being able to determine how to reach students and show them how what they are gonig to learn during the course can be applied to their lives and help them meet their career goals.
Pretesting excellent modality I can use right away.
