For individual learning styles to be met, within a good learning sessions a teacher will ensure he/she takes a multi-sensory approach to teaching, this way each learner can work to the best of their ability. Initial assessment and contracting before any learning takes place will ensue that learner needs are highlighted, therefore suitable support and lesson planning can take place. Inclusive learning is also about promoting a supportive and motivating learning environment that addresses the needs and barriers of all learners. For example, learners with wheelchairs need have appropriate access to the classroom and other facilities. Task 13 Strength and limitation of teaching and learning approaches Strengths and limitation of teaching and learning approaches are when a teacher implements all inclusive teaching
Explain why it is important to identify and meet individual needs Meeting the Needs of all Learners Student Diversity Aptitude Achievement Interest Motivation Needs Ability Learning and differentiation When planning to introduce an individualised approach to learning, as in personalised learning, teachers need to be aware of the ways in which learners prefer to learn. It has become common practice to identify preferred ways of learning during course induction. While this is clearly good practice, it is only the beginning of the process, not the end. As there is a range of CPD, while teachers may be well versed in theories of learning, what is not happening, in many cases, is the translation of theory into practice in the form of
Current Issues Summary and Response Matt 12/12/2010 Intro As a future special education teacher one of my jobs will be to keep up-to-date on current issues in the education field and let my parents know about any helpful development on these current issues. It is important for teachers to keep tabs on new developments that could be useful to better their understanding of education as a whole. There are a plethora of current issues involving special education. These issues range from more controversial to less controversial. Some of the more controversial issues are the use of tests to place students into special education, how should we grade students with special needs and how to discipline a student who is in special education.
While, factors such as constant absentness, unwanted behaviors, and low grades influence drop-out rates, school that have stricter guidelines and repercussions for the factors might make students think twice about their actions. Neo-Scholasticism needs students and teachers to be proactive in their learning styles and teaching
The purpose of higher learning allows growth while broadening my perspective to help educate others. The complete and concise curriculum allows me to prioritize my daily routines to become an enhanced student and educator. My concerns and difficulties were at a low level during this module because of the great support system provided in the GCU program. Organizing and prioritizing were a little difficult because achieving my personal, academic, and career goals are all on equal ground. The final outcome entails personal, academic, and career goals that will be gained during my pursuit of higher
I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating. It is also necessary to look at the subject being taught and be flexible in the grouping of children. I personally feel that for subjects such as Literacy and Numeracy, where there is pressure for academic success the children should be split into ability groups. I feel by working in ability groups, the children are still able to support each other and there is still a hint of Vygotsky’s ZPD theory being practised, as there is still a range of abilities within an ability group and the more able of one particular ability group, can support the others in the group. It is important to remember that no one child is the same as another, even if they are classified as being of similar ability.
These students who use motivational beliefs also utilize more self regulation learning skills (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997). The performance of these students ultimately results in their performance that would otherwise be considered less adaptive through their counterparts (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997). Schunk and Zimmerman (1997) reported that the social cognitive theory of self regulation is extremely useful in finding how students are able to succeed throughout their education. According to Schunk and Zimmerman (1997), “the social cognitive models distinguish themselves from a purely cognitive theory and they focuses on the interrelationship among learners... their beliefs use self generated learning strategies” (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997). The social cognitive model is one that is places emphasis on explaining how the individual’s personal behaviors and beliefs are influenced by the individuals learning environment (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997).
175). With increased self-concept due to mainstreaming, improved interpersonal communication and relations for those with intellectual disabilities is particularly important and should be further researched and practiced in school settings. Self-concept, one of the three dimensions of “the self in interpersonal communication”, is the perception or image that someone has of oneself based on others' images of them, social assessments, cultural ideas, and his or her individual analysis’ and assessments. For those of typical populations (or those who do not have an intellectual disability), self concept usually varies from person to person given that everyone is different and perceives everyone differently. But for those who are considered in the “special population” (those with intellectual disabilities) often have a distorted self-concept.
I have been studied in a coeducational school when I was in the elementary and middle school. This was enough periods to form my personality. I think the middle school age is a phase transition for the children. So, this age will influence on the children’s personality. However, Many people did not realize the importance of this schooling system whether same sex or segregated school, and how can this schooling system affect the educational level.
Therefore, the question is what effect does school climate have on a student's decision to leave school early. Literature Synthesis Student & Family Dynamics The individual student and their family have often been thought to be the main cause of students dropping out. The family unit is the first interaction students have with expectations and examples of how to behave. Parents that lead non-conventional lifestyles can increase the issues of at-risk students. Family support has been found to be crucial for student success in school.
