2). With that being said it is safe to say that movement, doing, and seeing are at the utmost importance for these multimodal learners. What may be helpful to the learner that engages in both the Kinesthetic and Visual category may be as
Understanding the principles & practices of assessment Unit 1 1:1 Explain the function of assessment in learning and development The main function of an assessment is to ascertain if learning has taken place and that the learner has obtained the required knowledge, skills and understanding. Assessment needs to be a constant process which should take place every time you see the learner, either by watching what they are doing, asking questions or carrying out short coaching or training sessions. It should also focus on improving, re-enforcing learning and measuring achievement showing how the learner is developing and areas they need to improve on. Assessment can be formal which is when you use assessments, assignments, tests and workplace observation to assess learning and informal which can be by asking a few questions. When assessing learning it is important to have an understanding of initial assessment, formative assessment and summative assessment.
Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning. Developing reflective practise means developing ways of reviewing our own teaching so that it becomes a routine and a process by which we might continuously develop. Kolb’s Learning Style Model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles Kolb developed a theory of experiential learning that can give us a useful model by which to develop our practise. This
Agreeing individual learning plans (ILPs) and/or action plans can help formalise this. During sessions, I try to include my learners by asking individual questions, taking time to give help and support, using eye contact, using names and encouraging paired and group activities etc. Inclusion involves ensuring that all support systems in the organisation are available to those learners who need it. Ways to promote inclusion include: • ascertaining individual needs, learning preferences and goals • being approachable and accessible, enabling learners to feel comfortable to disclose concerns • challenging stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice as it happens • differentiating activities to address individual differences; for example, different abilities and levels • using resources and materials which positively promote all aspects of community and society, equality and diversity. Carrying out an icebreaker and agreeing ground rules can help the session flow smoothly.
A3b. Use your mental math process in calculating the above situation and how you would use rounding and truncating in real-world scenarios. Provide two examples of each rounding and truncation (four total examples) to illustrate mental math skills. Type your answer here. Full sentences and doubled spaced.
Explain how to Select Resources that Meet the Needs of Learners: Resources are range of items used in to deliver learning, these can come in many forms and used in many ways, so it important to ensure that resources are accessible to all learners. Resources should stimulate learning as well as impart and promote interest in the subject, so it is crucial to select resources that also meet the needs of your learners. Resources should meet the required learning styles in the group as well as the objective of the session. Resources can be in form of books, handouts, pens, computers, overhead projector, work/activity sheets and also teachers and other professionals. In IT class, the most used resources are the computer, overhead projector, handouts, whiteboard/flipchart and voice.
It is believed that this approach excels because it was preceded into the area of student performance, based on relations with interactions from online learning environments, focusing in particular on the MOOCs platform. As long as MOOC platforms provide several activities, this prototype is uniqueness in handling data flow, and proposes for adequate interventions. Moreover, privacy and ethical issues were considered for a final version
The important influence of behaviors on learning can be studied by the behavior that occurs after learning has been initiated or stored. Behavior and learning are codependent on each other. Behavior is observable, and this makes the process of learning more easily observable as well. The two types of behavioral learning have aided in understanding the concepts involved in improved learning through conditioning. These new realizations have been converted into the classrooms to better educate students.
It is through the talk that learning occurs. There are many approaches to collaborative learning: 1. Learning is an active process whereby learners assimilate the information and relate this new knowledge to a framework of prior knowledge. 2. Learning requires a challenge that opens the door for the learner to actively engage his/her peers, and to process and synthesize information rather than simply memorize and regurgitate it.
The term blended learning is defined as a powerful teaching and learning approach that combines e-learning with a variety of other delivery methods for a better learning experience. Blended learning or also known as hybrid learning which describes the learning environment that either combines teaching methods, delivery methods, media formats or a mixture of all these. It also refers to the integrated learning activities such
