Class attendance facilitates learning in a variety of ways. For example lectures supplement reading assignments and classroom presentations present information differently than the text. Discussion and elaboration of topics provides current information that may not be found in the textbook. Hearing the comments and questions of other students can answer questions many students may have. Instructors can use class discussion to enhance critical thinking skills.
After reviewing the reading, we can make many assumptions about the authors’ argument. I think that this is quiet self-explanatory on the message the authors is arguing “that a teacher can help students, but the student “must do the learning.” you as a student can by taught many things but until you actually learn it or apply or are even able to explain it yourself then you have learned the concept applying to this concept there is quote in the book where it is said “Knowledge must grow in his mind if learning is to take place” (Adler and Van Doren; “The Activity and Art of Reading” page 8). I also think that the student has to put in the initiative to learn the concept themselves without the initiative of applying the concept you won’t ever learn the concept. Learning the concept is much like applying the concept of discovery that the Arthur was also referring to in the reading where it was mentioned in the quote “the learner acts on something communicated to him”. After the reading I see my role as a student as the learner or as the thinker which applies the concept that are being taught by the instructor.
Different people adjust to different strategies. Most people adjust to more than one strategy. We just need to identify which ones through assessment. How the Awareness of Learning Strategies Influence Teaching and Learning It is important for teachers to understand what a student is going through in their process of learning new information. If you know the learning style of the student, it is easier to convey the message you are trying to convey.
Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.
He says that much of this difficulty can be attributed to professors and the way that writing is taught to students, especially individuals who are newly entering the college setting (11). According to Bartholomae, students struggle with adapting to academic discourse and using the commonplaces of the discourse because they must be able to place themselves within the discourse rather than just imitating it, which is a hard thing to learn and an even harder thing to put into practice when most students have no previous experience with the discourse of academics
So to have successful communication, each member of the discussion (both the sender and the receiver) must take part in it. Example of effective communication Presentations and Lectures: When being at college or school you review certain topics with your teacher and to understand it well you need to have good communications with your lecturer. When the teacher tells you something you need to listen for the reply if you do not understand something you need to immediately ask her or him to explain it in another way, As the teacher finishes his or her speech you ask more questions in order to understand the topic or to give different points of view. Each time you do, you are receiving an answer, which means that you are building up the conversation and your communication flows. This means that you work in Cycles.
They read the quote out and stick it on the board in the place they choose. They have to read it aloud and allow students adequate time to copy it down. They have to explain why they have chosen to attach it to ‘Darkness’, ‘Light’ or if they have placed it in-between. Then they must manage a response to the interpretation of the quote (prompts are used underneath the quotes themselves). This means that they ask the class and as students put their hands up; they take ideas and record them on the board.
Students are taught to develop their skills through specific techniques. They are encouraged to review and ask questions during tutoring sessions based on the teacher’s instruction. Students generate questions and draw conclusions through reciprocal peer interaction. The reinforcement they receive while working in groups motivates learning. These sessions create a classroom where student pairs can work on different levels and on different types of problems (i.e., word problems or counting) or at varying reading levels.
The assessment should be both formal and informal. For informal, the teacher may use observations for questions and students notes, and formal will be for the use of tests and essays. The teacher can track the student’s problem area and can adapt the lessons and help the student. All assessments need to be prepared to actively engage student’s in the lessons. When assessing an ELL students’ performance, there must be group work that will be close to the real world like problem solving and personal communication.
Sometime, they even begin the final project without the instructor’s authorization and proper guidance forgetting that without the instructions they might give the wrong information. An online student also expects services at all time of the night or day. They need to understand that waiting is part if teaching and learning for the internet speed is not the same as the course speed. Internet teaching is all about following instructions and doing your work on time. Traditional students must write a thesis and take notes before writing a research
