This seems very idealistic. I do not have the opportunity to assess my student's personality traits, nor do I have the flexibility or time to tailor assignments to each students' personal needs. Great concept, but how could you demonstrate proficiency and attainment of learning objectives without some level of standardization?
It is important for instructors to be attentive to learners personalities in order to be effective in our teaching and help students to set learning goals. Instructors ahould practice open communicationand set cklear goals for students.
Intersting topic and great to think about when preparing to instruct or lead a class. To meet the learning needs and learning styles of all students although sounding impossible, is very possible with the right knowledge base and understanding of these concepts.
I agree. Personality types can accomplish the tasks better suited for their personality type. I used to follow this same strategy with employees at the grocery store I managed. The Smokers were excellent cleaners, while the nonsmokers were better at ringing up customers at the registers without many breaks. Smokers could smoke as much as they wanted. It seemed to be a win-win.
This is helpful because teaching different students with various personality traits can be difficult if you are unable to identify them. Also, putting students in groups and having them work on group assignments can also be difficult. However helping students to understand themselves and others may provide a more productive outcome.
I understand what they are trying to get across in this module; however, I'm struggling to figure out how to please every student in some standardized way. Especially students that I will probably never even see in person.
As educators we are tasked to design a delivery model that works for all learning personalities. This requires expertise in understanding personality traits in a meaningful way. While the ideal situation would include personality trait assessments for both educators and learners, in reality, we must rely on more practical interventions such as ensuring that we engage students in the learning process in a way that allows for each to leverage their personal strengths.
i.e. “students who possess blue personality traits like to help others, so group activities can help meet the needs of multiple student color types. Group projects that are well organized help gold students show leadership and get the job done well, and give blue students a chance to be cooperative rather than competitive. When group projects are designed to be active and entertaining, yet flexible, orange students thrive. If group projects are appropriately designed, green students can be challenged as greens see knowledge as power.”
As a personal preference, I provide learners with several choices for approaching most of my course activities. My goal is to get them to meet the learning objective. How they get there is their choice. I find this to work well in most situations.
Providing differing options for the same assignment was something I always liked because I felt like I had a choice and wasn't just being told what to do.
Understanding your students personality traits is very important in the online learning. Also instructors should know thier own personality traits.Flexability is key as well.
Understanding different learning styles can help in lesson planning. Gving students options will give them more self confidence in their learning and will motivate them to continue to learn.
This portion of the course has impressed upon me to work on varying forms of assessment. We have made great progress of adapting to how to enable students to learn, but the concept of also providing options for assessment that students may refer due to their personality traits is the logical next step in progression.
This module has helped me see the importance of offering different options for projects/class activities.
One should take advantage of the different personalitiy types to get the most sucessful learning outcomes from students.
It's helpful for instructors in a small class to understand how each student is different and how each student learns based on their pesronaliyt.
Different teaching styles combined with students personalities can make the learning process for teachers and students more efficient.
Incorporating a variety of teaching methods and providing options for how to complete assignments is more engage and effective pedagogical method.
The instructor will often have a different TC profile than at least some of their students, which is why it is important to be flexible in their teaching styles/techniques.
Understanding your students personality traits is very important in the online learning process. Also instructors should know thier own personality traits.
Learning a students personallity traits will aid in teaching them.
It is extremely important to take the time to carefully craft assignments, projects, quizzes, etc that will reach each type of learner in your class. Instructors should ask themselves, from each learning style perspective - not just their own, if the assignments are engaging and would meet the needs of a gold, a blue, an orange a green, etc. The goal is to have an all inclusive and engaging foundation for a class that gets the most out of each attendee.
