LEARNING:
Throughout this coursework, I hold true that if students are to learn effectively, they need to be taught effectively.

Effective Learning:

Dialogue centered not only on the content to

be taught but on life itself…valid…of the act

of teaching but also prepares an open and

free climate in the ambience of one’s

classroom. We Do Not All understand the same way nor see the same, regardless of its simplicity. There is a need for diversity in teaching for the diversity in learning.  According to readings, curriculum is developed with the student in mind.  The higher institution is committed to meeting the needs of the students beyond the classroom & curriculum.  EVERYTHING is about preparation for a career beyond college graduation.

Learning Is Active

Tell Me I Forget.

Show Me, I Remember.

Involve Me, I Understand.

§  I am evolving from traditional assessments (summative tests, projects, presentations, evaluations, peer feedback, flipgrid, padlet, jigsaw)

§  Generating connections between what they already know and what they are being asked to learn  - pretest/post test

§  Constructing meaning from their experiences which includes student evaluations to create educational opportunity of worth and value for future students

Effective feedback is a must.  If we want to cultivate students that have true understanding, they must receive our reflections as their instructor.  Feedback that will tell them of their success, their insight and their knowledge.  Then we must share where they fell short and equip them with proper information.  Proper feedback equips and improves learning.Housell (2003: 67) argues that:

Feedback plays a decisive role in learning and development, within and beyond formal education settings. We learn faster, and much more effectively, when we have a clear sense of how well we are doing and what we might need to do in order to improve.
