Medical terminology is something I do everyday when I teaching. Knowing the average population learns 80% better by visualizing the terminolgy makes sense. Alot of times the students have no idea what I am talking about. Breaking the friends up makes total sense to learn. It cuts down on the talking and they get to know other people in the class. We have 10 weeks this quarter and one girl did not know another girls name until the other night. This is week 9 of our class! I think that's pretty sad.
It's very important to create a team environment with everyone helping each other. Peer communication and having the students teach on a topic can help with others who are not understanding.
I will intend to keep my lecture time 10 -15 mins and then transition to an activity to increase student retention
It takes 6 exposures to information/concepts to have 90% retention. Reinforces the importance of teaching content using multiple methods.
It is exciting to know how presenting the same content in six different way help learners retain 90% of information over 30 days, leading to a more substantial building block of knowledge.
Medical terminology is one that a student will value and hold throughout their career and lifetime. I am very interested in what this course has to offer to educators...
You need to be exposed to something 6 times before really remembering it. I find my medical terminology class to be effective as far as what the students learn, but I really want it to be more activity-based and less lecture-based. I have used Kahoots for reviews, Quizlets, and case studies but would like suggestions for more interactive lessons. Hoping to learn more throughout this PD.
I learned that I should use more activities, teams in class, To use review from students to gauge their learning
In this module, I learned that one of the essential skills of a successful instructor is the ability to reengage the learner at intervals. There is also 90% retention of the information learned if there 6 exposures within 30 day period.
Lecturing is an ongoing learing process. I never really thought about how fast I talk. I have been told by students but when I saw how many words should be in a minute that make a lot of sense.
Excellent lesson on how to create an active learning enviornment for all.
I have learned from this module is that if we have a positive, memorable link with our peers if we engage and become interested in each other (bonding).
Create a active learning atmosphere.
Emotions go to long term memory, experiences that do not involve emotions are forgotten, Provide variety and focus on the learner. 80% of the average population are visual learners
That most people need to see and hear something 6 times before committing it to memory!
Great review of increasing student learning and retention.
Speed of speech is much slower than the speed of thought-- which means if you don't actively engage students their mind will wander. Makes so much sense!
I have seen all those signs (which I did not know had unique names) not only in myself as a student but in my students too!
Interactive activities do engage the learner and we, as instructors, need to be more creative in our classroom. This is a challenge for me but one I am willing to continue to take on.
I thought it was very interesting that it takes 6 times of learning something to really know and retain it 90% after 30 days.
It's important to learn the signs of student fatigue and to engage them with active learning concepts.
