I love the thought of bringing attention to light hearted things such as starting the class with a joke or pointing out the different "National Days." It is so true that adults love something that lets them feel light hearted and free if even for just a few moments.
Be creative with your students and the ways you instruct to keep them engaged.
Always engage with the student and encourage the good work they are doing.
I learned strategies to keep students engaged includes acknowledging each student, giving the class a moment to settle before beginning lecture, giving breaks between content to ensure the attention span is considered, incorporating lighthearted moments into lecture.
It is important to treat every student with respect and kindness. Learning a little about each student and treating them as humans and not a number is critical for students well-being. Treating students with mutual kindness and respect will encourage them to do well in the class and reach career goals.
I like encouraging my students and helping them reach new milestones.
Enthusiasm and excitement for the subject will help keep the students attention and will keep their attention and retention.
Allow students to help drive the lecture. Give them information and see where their minds go. Make sure to ask critical thinking questions to help to access the retention of information
The instructor must show enthusiasm of the subject matter he or she is teaching
I have learned that success breeds success. Therefore, if students are praised for a job well done, they will be encouraged to repeat their success.
Starting class with a lighthearted opener can allow students to feel more comfortable as they prepare for class to start, and allows the teacher to better connect with the students.
There were several concepts in the second component that are so valuable. The Human Factor and Personal Attention stand out and I need to work on being more engaged personally with my students. Understanding where they come from, will help me teach them better.
Have a teaching strategy/plans but do not be surprised if the lecture does not go as planned and learn how to improvise. Engage the students and be exciting about what you are teaching.
So far I have learned that is important to keep each student in mind as an individual. Also, it is very important to give positive feedback as often as possible to ensure that students are staying engaged and encouraged to move forward with their education.
Just treat each student the same. Show them the respect you want them to show you.
I engage all my students to participate in case studies, lab skill etc. I feel it's important to keep them invovled so they feel they are learning through doing.
Be creative, have fun and engage your students. It doesnt always have to be all business.
As a clinical instructor, i try to always keep the students engaged by adding the real life patient experience with what they are currently learning in the classroom.
Getting to know our students as an individual is very important. Being passionate in the classroom is very important. I also believe creativity and an energetic atmosphere is a must.
Create an "whole-part-whole" concept of learning where the students are active participants in the learning of materials.
