My philosophy on Early Childhood Education I believe as a teacher, I am responsible for providing young children with a positive learning experience. I strive to be a positive role model for the children left in my care, and in the community I serve. Children have the right to have their needs meet, to have a positive learning experience while in the care of their caregivers. Children learn what they live, and I have the opportunity while working with these children on a daily basis to teach them how to respect one another, by leading by example. You can teach them patients by showing them patients.
I was able to gain experience in reflective learning by various activities, such as group presentation and mock interviews that was as part of the module. I was able to reflect on feedbacks given to me by other students. This outlined both my strength and weakness and also equipped me with confidence needed to succeed in the labour market. Entwistle (1998) pointed out that in order to achieve a good grade, Students needs to organise themselves strategically. This will involve time management, reading the right learning materials, putting efforts in studies as well as knowing what teachers expect from you.
They learn better by having things written down in a handout versus someone telling them how to do it. Being told how to do something instead of taking the time to show a visual learner through diagrams or pictures just causes confusion. Visual learners also perform better in class when the teacher writes assignments on the whiteboard and provide them with handouts. List of Preferred Learning Strategies A visual learner preferred learning strategies is through reading textbook, watching
Today I also impose the same teachings to my daughters with a little more understanding and apply better options and decisions for them to build their own future. Observational learning is not only learned from watching people around you. It can be learned by watching videotapes and or listening to things. In a study done on children with down syndrome and developmental delays shows that showing them actions on T.V actually helps these kids react and
2.1 Evaluate how to involve the learner in the assessment process When learners communicate with others about their learning, they learn about what they have learned, what they need to learn, and what kind of support may be available to them. Research shows that when learners are involved in the assessment process and learn to articulate what they have learned and what they still need to work on, achievement improves (Black and Wiliam, 1998; Sternberg, 1996. When communicating their learning using a variety of work samples, they go beyond what grades, numbers and scores alone can show. They are able to examine the depth, the detail, and the range of their own learning to figure out their strengths and what they need to work on next” (Gregory, Cameron, Davies, 2010) This is all part of learning to self-monitor and is recognised as an essential skill for self-directed, independent, lifelong learners. Elbow (1986) Progress is based on actual performance rather than on how well learners perform in comparison to others (Lytle and Wolfe 1989; Sticht 1990).
There are learning strategies to assist a kinesthetic learner such as action-based classes, harmonious teachers, and regular breaks to aid students in learning to the best of their ability. According to Richard Gage, Kinesthetic learners do exceedingly well in action-based classes (Gage 1995). As a student I have learned that I absorb and retain information better in a “hands on” environment. It is exciting and easier to focus on a task or project when “grasping it” physically. Laboratory experiments capture the minds of kinesthetic learners by allowing mobility and physical activity.
I would like to study a P.G.C.E as I embrace teaching as an opportunity to engage pupils in subjects about which I am passionate. I am confident that I am suited to study a PGCE because this particular course of study allows developing teachers to apply their specialist subject(s) in a creative way. Having researched the P.G.C.E course content I have found it to be dynamic, engaging, and of great value to teaching expertise and personal development. I look forward to engaging with children and young people and receiving and developing their ideas. Indeed, one of my greatest strengths is my ability to communicate.
‘Good parenting is authoritative in which parents keep eyes on their children and try to understand the mindset of their children.’(Sarwar, 2016) Somebody comment authoritative style is utility, but under psychology sense it provides a mutual communication to the kids. In conclusion, there is still room for discussion on how parenting style affect children and what is the effectiveness in teaching
They love praise and recognition for their ideas. It is important for the teacher to get to know the young learners and to draw on their ideas, strengths and interests. If the teacher can build on the their skills, it will make them feel important and increase their self-confidence. Adult learners on the other hand are more self-directed and will take learning seriously, as they are investing in their own education. Adults usually have a purpose in learning and need to see the personal value or reward in taking the classes.
It represents a cluster of personality and mental characteristics that influence how a pupil perceives, remembers, thinks, and solves problems,” (Morrison, 2006:186). ELT practitioners must realize that there are many different learning styles, as well as personality types within the classroom and being assertive on identifying our students’ needs and developmental areas according to their learning preferences will lead them to acquire knowledge in a more natural way. For this assignment, I will describe and evaluate the differences in learners response to the activities developed in a regular grammar lesson based on their motivation, age and learning styles. I will also talk about the strategies that I will use to evaluate that learner’s progress has taken place and consider ways in which the quality of learning can be improved. II.
