That meant the instructor should select learning tasks that are worth learning and develop this content in ways that help students to appreciate their significance and application potential to analyze the students and identify learning styles, such as active or reflective students. These learning styles can be categorized with the relevance portion of Keller's ARCS model because they assist in matching a student's motives. The first subcategory in relevance strategies is goal orientation. Relevance strategies highlight how the students' previous experiences and skills can be used to help them understand, learn new concepts, and link to students' needs, interests, and motives. This strategy can help teach the concept of writing academic summaries, which are essential to incorporating sources in argument essays.
I. Reflect on and assess your intellectual and professional development and learning through your connecting experience. What went well in your experience? What was challenging, and what did you learn from the challenges? What would you do differently in your next connecting experience?
Student records, attendance, achievement and disciplinary details will be some of the information kept. By assessing need I can gather the information required to enable me to plan and design a suitable learning experience that can be delivered satisfactorily. My responsibilities are many and varied; from ensuring that the course delivers on its aims and outcomes to satisfying the students’ learning needs both from a course material perspective and any further assistance they may need to complete the course. By making good use of the assessment and evaluation parts of the TTC I will be able to ensure that I am meeting their needs and that the course is delivering the content and standard that is expected. Boundaries are ethical and course and student related.
The roles and responsibilities of a tutor in the Lifelong Sector include promoting positive behaviour, diversity and inclusion throughout the teaching and learning process (Gravells, 2012). The author concurs with Gravells et al (2012) that, a tutor should also challenge prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping as it occurs. This can be achieved by incorporating activities in learning based around equality and diversity so it helps students in their understanding. Francis and Gould (2013) state that the role of a tutor in the lifelong learning sector is not confined to imparting knowledge and skills, but covers a multiplicity or different tasks. These roles are accompanied by responsibilities and these contribute to the adoption of a professional approach to work in the lifelong learning sector.
How are these strategies implemented in my Teaching Practice School? 4. Are these strategies successful? In investigating the above I hope to discover the benefits plus the ‘what’s’ and the ‘how’s’ of well practised Positive Classroom Management (PCM). Through this study I hope to be able to adapt my learning of PCM into a practical understanding and use it as a tool to create a teaching environment conducive to focused and engaged learning.
During this process I would develop a realistic plan for learning and assessment with the learners. An initial assessment contributes to the learner’s professional development by high-lighting the learner’s skills, and experience, it can also identify any specific needs your learners have. Prior learning can also be taken into account, by focusing on observations and practical tasks, an initial assessment provides an individual plan based on the learner’s abilities and achievements, it is a basis for on-going informative assessments which ensure learners demonstrate progressive learning. For an assessment I would use two methods for gathering evidence; direct - such as observation or work product and
Principles of assessment in lifelong learning Assessment is key to the learning process, whether it be to assess if a learner is capable of entering onto a course to assessing their development on the course. There are different types of assessments that teachers can use to gauge the progress of their learners. Here we will study the varying types and methods of assessment whilst analysing how to involve the learner in the assessment process and the importance of keeping records of assessments. When judging assessment types and methods it is important to establish if the evidence produced is valid and sufficient to meet the criteria, if it is authentic and if the assessment would produce the same results when assessed by numerous assessors. One way of dividing assessments into two different types is through the use of formative and summative classifications.
I will also include the role of formal and informal learning and the learning style based on humanism, behaviourism and cognitive approaches and ways androgogy and pedagogy theories core relates in my learning environment. I will analyze, reflect and observe and do recommendations to facilitate learning for better improvement. This is to enhance learners to learn as (Christine Ely and Diane Lear) specific effort must be made to promote a good learning environment and a necessary change must be implemented for learning to take place at practical area. I shall provide learning opportunities for
1.1 Teaching Role and responsibilities in education and Training The teacher should be qualified to teach the learners, and be able to identify key aspects of related current legislation and know how to challenge discriminatory behaviour and attitudes. They should be well prepared for their lesson, be able to provide the correct resources and information relevant to the course and be knowledgeable about the subject or in the case of covering for another teacher, know where to find information in order to answer questions from learners. Teachers should make an initial assessment the needs of learners prior to starting the course in order to assess their suitability to the course there are delivering. Lessons should be prepared and sessions well planned. Establishing good ground rules at the start of the lessons are an important part of the teacher’s role to ensure everyone has clear expectations within the classroom environment, this helps to ensure appropriate behaviour and respect for others within the class.
• FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: This is assessment done to ascertain learner’s previous knowledge and individual learning plan. It creates and forms the assessor plan in achieving a holistic knowledge competence of the learner thereby motivating the learner, ensuring that knowledge and skills are used pari-pasu in proving and claiming practical competence and by supporting, planning and giving of feedbacks and fairness of judgement and objectives of awarding bodies with relevant, authentic, current, valid and reliable decision taking to ensure that assessment methods meets learners needs suitably. •
