PMI amalina_abu_bakar https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350255 Positive: 
    • Good understanding of content and clarity in explanations. Able to work with student answers rather than correct.
    • Relating classification to real world: Getting students to think about organisation of things, and relating the need for organisation of things to everyday life 
    • Hands on approach in involving students in constructing knowledge
    • Transition from teacher led to student led learning – when splitting up pictures
    • Group work – students learnt from each other
    Negative:
    • Pace – spoke too fast and didn’t leave enough breaks between concepts
    • Pushing on during distractions
    • Lack of reinforcement of scientific language - students couldnt remember the words at the end of the lesson and failed the summative assessment
    • Poor closure
    • Ran out of time - too much content
    Interesting: 
    - Group dynamics when doing group work
    - How skills-based my learning outcome was
    - How difficult it was to transform learning by doing into words

    Positive: I believe that I had a strong enough grasp on the content   being taught allowing that aspect of my lesson to be effective



    Negative:

    Poor time management leading to a lot of content being packed into a short period of time

    Low level of assessment/student involvement.

    low level of Confidence level led to lesson not being delivered exactly as planned

    Interesting:

    Planning out a lesson that teaches students about atoms can lead be difficult due to it being so detached from the student's day to day lives.]]>     2018-03-21 03:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350505     PMI + one aspect matthew_koefoed https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350518 Positive:
    - Good level of understanding on my part allowed for concise explanation.
    - Image of diagram assessment was good for understanding but also for future resource to look back on.
    - Short simple explanation 

    Negative:
    - Could have used models or more images of atom to engage and aid understanding.
    - Could have asked the students if they had any questions for me or points of confusions in the explanation.
    - Should have used more assessments.
    - Went too quickly through the lesson.

    Interesting:
    Explaining a more abstract concept like what an atom is to people who have never heard of it was challenging because we cant see it, we have to imagine it or use diagrams/models. I found it a little hard to come up with a definition that was simple and made sense at the students education level.


    One aspect:
    With abstract concepts like an atom and its composition use of models/images/animations are essential to aid in the understanding of the concept. Although i did use an image I think multiple and/or a physical model that students could use to visualise it in 3D space would have had a much more effective impact on their understanding. This with an explanation on scale as to not confuse the size of the actual atom would have really improved the overall micro-teaching lesson.]]>     2018-03-21 03:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350518     Positive- Thorough content knowledge, checked the prior misconceptions, assessed previous knowledge, the activity planned roza_bali https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350600 Negative:
    The actual delivery of the lesson, more teacher centered, not enough interaction with the students.

    Interesting- I didn't engage as much as i thought when i prepared the lesson]]>     2018-03-21 03:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244350600     2. Reflection of one aspect amalina_abu_bakar https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244351070 - One issue I found with my lesson was that students couldn't remember the scientific language (i.e. failed to reorder the hierarchies of the Linnean classification system).
    - This could be because the words were not reinforced enough during the lesson, too much focus on the usage of skills, and too much content which diluted the information required for the summative assessment.
    - If I were to do it again, I would reduce content delivered in that time to ensure a more streamlined approach of delivery. I would also reinforce the scientific language and focus on describing and breaking down the words so students have a clear understanding of them. I would also display the words on the board and give time for students to write the words down, so they can learn the words visually and kinaesthetically. I would also try to match the content in my summative assessments to diagnostic and formative assessment to help memorising the words through repetition.]]>     2018-03-21 03:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244351070     PMI leshi_li https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244351129 Positive:

      Using experiment to support the concept.

    Negative:
     should have more students base learning.
     Time management. Cannot control well the time and deliver the most important concept to students. ]]>     2018-03-21 03:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244351129     Positve https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/70s37bsayd03/wish/244351515 Content knowledge was thorough.

In science we use models to help represent concepts and the atom is no exception. I used the bohr model of the atom in my lesson which I intended to help students understand the atom at the level which they needed to know.
