For today, we dived more deeply in to the teaching methods.
Telling  stories can be a powerful tool for getting messages across. however, telling the same story over and over again with the same style can become frustrating very fast.

another point was about adding positive impact to conventional lectures like gestures , facia expressions, eye contacts, visual message , physical presence, verbal message.

Advantages of lectures over lab are:
more control over the class, giving more knowledge in shorter amount of time.
disadvantages are: learners become more passive , no accounting for learner's differences , no room for innovation.

we then talked about the different learning methods like seminars, workshops, written assignments , laboratory field work and graduation project as well as internship and work placement.  importance of field work and lab work was also mentioned.

Proper attitudes of workshop was discussed. An ideal workshop is a place to discuss and argue ideas about the given subject.
goal of work shop should be identified
attendant should be specified to those with knowledge in the branch to aid in the discussion.

in todays lecture we presented on the topic of different teaching styles

the first seminar was on learning by doing projects .Doing projects in school is beneficial in several ways. Projects allow you to develop as a person, learn new skills, and contribute to your school’s work. Doing projects is also beneficial to your teachers and your teacher reviews. By following these advantages, you can excel in all aspects of doing projects in school.

the second one was about Student exchange program . Learning is a process that happens continuously throughout a person’s life. People learn in different ways and at different paces based on their age and previous experiences. Moreover, knowledge is an important part of our culture, so people seek to acquire it throughout their lives. Acquiring new information has always been an essential part of human existence. Schools are institutions that teach people how to learn, and student exchange programs are strategies designed to do just that.

the third one was on role playing .Learning is a never-ending process that involves acquiring knowledge and understanding. It can be done through formal education, self-learning and social interaction. One of the most popular ways to learn is through the use of a role playing style. Introducing a role playing style is a method of learning that involves creating an artificial situation and applying knowledge to it. Through this method, people experience different emotions while understanding concepts better.

The fourth one was field trip. A field trip can teach your child about the world outside the classroom. For example, you can take your child to a museum or zoo where they can learn about animals, fossils, and other interesting objects. You can also take them to an art gallery where they can see how different artists interpret art’s role in society. Alternatively, you could take them to a historical site where they’d learn about famous figures in history or learn something new like the architect who designed that building.

The fifth one was time line. A time line is a series of events laid out in chronological order. The concept of a time line is useful for students and teachers as it allows them to clearly understand the flow of events, make better decisions and learn from past experiences. It can be used in a variety of subjects such as history, literature and math.

The final one was photography. Photography is an essential part of teaching and learning in all areas of life. It can be used to document, educate, and inspire. Photos are also a form of creative expression that can be used to depict feelings, thoughts, and emotions. When using photos in teaching, it’s important to consider how photos are used and what they communicate to the audience.

we first talked about two websites for getting immediate feedback and instant quizzing students.

then we talked about innovative learning environment .  A good teacher improves the learning process through providing a logical and comprehensive teaching method— this includes preparing materials, giving lectures and assignments and grading students’ work. To convey knowledge effectively, a good teacher must have thorough knowledge of the subject he or she is teaching. This way, the teacher can present clearly understood information in an organized manner. Next, a good teacher enhances the learning process by creating and maintaining a good learning environment— this includes providing comfortable chairs, air conditioning, noise cancellation systems and clean bathrooms for students to focus on their studies. Finally, a good teacher improves the learning process by encouraging a good teaching attitude in students— this includes setting high expectations for students so they feel motivated to perform well at school and providing moral support during exams to boost students’ performance levels.

Today we discussed techniques for motivating learners Motivation is an immensely powerful force that can greatly impact the future of a person's success. For learners, it could be the deciding factor in whether they excel or fail at their education. Teachers need to understand how to motivate their students and help them stay focused on their studies. They also have a role to play in helping students understand what motivates them to learn.
then we shifted to why assessment is done. When teaching, it's important to regularly assess your students' progress. This way, you can help your students become successful in class and in life. Plus, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your students can help you design effective learning methods.

after that we talked about the criteria for a great assessment. When planning an assessment, educators should keep in mind the objectives that their students have learned since the start of the previous academic year or semester. This is because it's essential for assessments to help students learn the content learned during that period. Additionally, an excellent assessment should be able to accurately predict how well a student will do on future exams or assignments based on their performance on the assessment. Additionally, it should help educators identify problem students who need extra assistance while ensuring that all of their students are treated fairly. By planning effectively, educators can deliver an excellent assessment that will help their students learn!

we were shown some slides on the university life in Finland and how changing teaching system can affect the community as all.
We talked about different aspect of university life abroad and how we can transfer those ideas to our locality.

After that we shifter to talk about the different assessment styles.  Different schools use different assessment styles to gather their information. Formative assessments are focused on improving the quality of instruction rather than on evaluating individual students. Formative assessments are typically smaller in scope than summative assessments. They may include such tasks as creating lesson plans, providing feedback to the teacher and students, and collecting data for improvement efforts. Summative assessments are geared toward evaluating the students' knowledge and skills against predetermined criteria. These can include exams, essays, projects, continuous evaluation, or other formats depending on the school. Students may vary in their approach based on the style used; some may find it difficult to meet expectations when preparing for a summative assessment, for example.

We talked about the types of assessment ,Assessments are a crucial part of students' educational process. They help teachers and tutors determine how well students have learned and can also help students learn and improve. In addition, some assessment tools are used to ensure that students are meeting their learning goals. Many different types of assessments are used in education. It's important to know the different types and to understand how they can help you in your educational career.

we then talked about the benefits of quizzes , like sharing the degree load, evaluating the student periodically, and creating a competitive environment. However, it burden the loads on the teacher

After that we shifted to the problems that may face examination committees.  Each member of the committee also needs to possess the necessary expertise to assess students' performance and make recommendations for improvement. Ideally, a chairperson should lead this group and have experience in leading group projects or workshops. Other members should have at one or more years of experience working with student groups in a similar capacity. Having an expert leader ensures that every meeting runs smoothly and that recommendations made are well-thought-out and carefully weighed against each member's experience level, position on the evaluation scale and attitude toward student improvement.
