Learning about your students as well as their learning needs, can assist the instructors in planning and make adjustments when necessary
This course has given me a better understanding of the different age groups of students and how to keep both motivated and wanting to be here everyday to advance further into a career that will take care of them there whole lives! also it has helped me better understand how to address a issue that a student may have without losing the role of the instructor.
This course was very helpful to understand reasons for students electing to continue their education and identification of student needs to increase student retention. This can assist us instructors to continually motivated students during delivery of lecture and creating assessments that can measure achievement of student learning outcomes. Better understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic students needs helps further tailor educational materials and subject matter to deliver personalized curriculum.
Using real life situations while teaching in class will help with student interest and retention.
I feel I can use this time to see the classroom from the students prospective, and tech them while understanding where they are in the learning process.
I have learned that learning to understand the students can benefit both myself and the students by making that connection. Helping them realize that I am trying to encourage them to keep pushing themselves from being someone that has succeeded in the profession that they are trying to learn.
I appreciate the implementation of Maslow Hierarchy of Needs understanding that a student’s lower level Basic needs are ‘high’ on their “need to do’ list. Understanding this theory lends a new perspective on how to approach the student.
This course emphasizes the importance of taking into account the experiences of all students in your course, regardless of their age. It also reiterates being a good listener, but remaining solutions-oriented and not being sidetracked by complaints. I liked the idea of grouping students to allow groups to hear from a variety of perspectives within a working group since lots of people may have different backgrounds and work experiences.
From this section I learned to provide an inclusive, respectful and accepting classroom environment and keep my students highly engaged in learning. Besides, how to provide a safe space for them when navigating tough times that will encourage them to open up and seek support when needed.
I have learned the true importance of listening to a student and actually hearing them. I believe this will allow for a positive learning environment for all students.
Getting to know students as whole humans helps teachers understand a student's motivations. Tapping into individual motivations will increase student engagement and retention.
I think this course is helpful in remain focused and learned the importance of helping them to refine their goals.
Ilearned that i needto learn moreabout the students that are in myt class not just their name but more abouttheirbackground and level of education when they get to my class.
I think a main point is that students come from various backgrounds and hold various reasons and motivations for continuing their education. Getting to know motivations and circumstances of your students can help retain students as they are assisted by their instructors.
Understanding the uniqueness of each student and learning the career goals and reasons.
I now have better understanding of how different types of students have different motivations and may need different methods and strategies to reach the students.
Different students have different needs
i can relate the environment is everything
I learned that using real life situations and making things more relatable will gain advantage in the attention and engagement of students and will therefore provide student retention in the classes. Having different backgrounds gives an opportunity to get to know our students better and getting them to know us as instructors so we can create a boundary of respect.
