allow interaction with students in laying out the course objectives
Allowing students to have input on lessons, assignments, pace, etc. gives students perceived control and autonomy over their learning builds motivation. Provide supportive and clear feedback to students and encourage questions.
To give students security, it is important to become familiar with what they know and what they have experienced, that is, with their experience. "What I am going to learn in these classes is related to my previous experience."
Security within the classroom without restricting the learning environment is an attainable goal.
Listen and be supportive of your students
This module taught me how with very simple resourses you can motivate students. It was particularly interesting regarding the classes and the evaluations. I think motivating them helps them become interested in their own learning and development, instead of rejecting activities or, what is very common today, turning to Artificial Intelligence to answer them.
I have always used the "There are several options for assignments". I tell the students that if they are passionate about what they are writing about, then it will come across in the paper. As long as it is school appropriate...
Its a good idea to get students thoughts and suggestions on the topic or course, because it helps keep them motivated and shows the instructor what things can be improved or worked on to help students
Create a more positive environment by allowing adult learners to share past experiences
This course helped me to remember how important is to provide positive feedback and allow my students to take control of their learning process by encouraging them and providing a secure learning environment with security and autonomy.
encourage students to ask questions and be involved
Adult learners want to feel respected by their experiences as it may connect with their new learning. As a teacher you should always be supportive and make them feel comfortable and safe.
When students are confident in their ability to succeed at an assignment, they are more likely to have motivation to participate.
Security and Motivation are important features in maintaining student retention.
Students feel more secure and confident when the instructor motivates them. Giving positive feedback and encouragement helps students to excel in their learning.
I feel more confident in conducting my classes
If a student is struggling to answer a question, help them out. Never embarrass a student. Even if the answer isn't quite right, find a positive in their contribution to the discussion.
To make sure I'm prepared and to explain things clearly and always be supportive. Also look for signs that the Student may be disconnected to the class.
Always making sure your students needs are met and that they feel secure.
The classroom is their security. Allow the students to ask questions and support them.
