Too many verbal instruction 

Did not check on understanding before going on

Need better prep of the learning materials : better to recreate worksheet with just the questions she wanted and the order she wanted 

 Visual instructions on the board ]]> 2022-06-02 01:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208212457 Table 8 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208212560 +ve : Teacher recapped lesson.

Simplify and shorten the instructions. Write down the instructions on the whiteboard so that there is constant reference for the students. Teacher must also practise wait time for the students to process lah. Dun rush lah. Also pls pause and check for understanding https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208212740 2022-06-02 01:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208212740 Table 11 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208212806 Teacher has planned her lesson - structured lesson plan

Qns were sequenced according to levels of difficulties 
Encouraged peer discussion
Class are generally cooperative
Allow them to copy down instructions

B)
Should have both visual and verbal instructions
Should organise instructions in simplified manner ]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213454 Table 3 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213518 Positive: teacher gave suggestions to complete the task
Negative: Too much verbal instructions should have written tasks down]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213518 Group 12 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213812 a)

-Tried to give them strategies 
-Pair work was utilised to help the weaker children

B) need more visual instructions
-Require chunking of instructions in a logical sequence 
-When giving instructions, must ensure that the students are listening attentively
- add time to check for understanding of instructions 
- give specified time solely for students to work without interrupting 
- key points could have been printed and given to the students instead of copying from the screen]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213958 B - Table 13 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213960 - write down the order  of the questions on the board

-  sequence and organise the instructions so that pupil A is able to follow

- minimise talking so as not to distract pupils while they are doing their work]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208213960 Table 7 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214163
a)
  • Notes provided are useful 
  • Teacher selected questions with increasing difficulty
b)
  • Write instructions on the board
  • Reorganise the worksheet and reduce it to the four questions in the correct sequence 
  • Give them wait them and let them clarify doubts

- write down the order of the questions on the whiteboard. 
- sequence and organise the instructions 
-minimise talk during the lesson so that pupils won’t be distracted. ]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214249 Table 10 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214293 a) Ms Chan has good intentions in scaffolding her lesson. She wanted to recap important concepts with the class before they attempt the questions. She also wanted that class to attempt the questions in a certain sequence on their own. When she realised they had difficulty completing the task individually, she got them to work in pairs instead. 

b) Sequencing of the lesson]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214293 Table 5 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214298 Positive: - visual aids provided, highlighting cues, work from easy questions to more difficult ones, allow collaboration (pair work), encourage thinking aloud.

How to improve:
- sequence her teaching order properly (Do not keep interrupting the pupils at work to give last minute instructions)
- choice of words for instruction should be simplified.
- write down the instructions especially the questions to be done.
- recap the previous lessons before moving on. ]]> 2022-06-02 01:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214298 Table 2 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214432 (a) arranging questions according to the level of difficulty for the children should help students with anxiety 

(b) visual instructions 
Design a ws that will cater to his learning needs   ]]> 2022-06-02 01:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214432 Table 1 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214469 a)~ too many information/ instructions to process, cannot complete the task
~ thoughts / thinking process were constantly disrupted by the teacher

b) ~ have the instructions printed or shown to the students to help them complete the task]]> 2022-06-02 01:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208214469 Table 6 https://padlet.com/chantan_lea_ting/asi2qi4rlg5fjo4n/wish/2208218455 (a) - well by sequencing the questions from easy to difficult
     - she paired them up when she realised that they were 
        having difficulties 
     - Ms Chan noticed that there were missing information in 
        their answers 

   - Did not write the questions in sequence on the board.
   - did not Break up the instructions.
   - Not enough time to complete task.
   - Teacher interrupts 
   - More demands and requirements

(b) - she  should write down the instructions on the board 
      - She should go through her slides before dishing out the 
         worksheet.  
      - to help profile c, we will walk round to ensure that she is 
         on task or to clarify her doubts if any. Profile C definitely 
         needs more guidance. She will need bite-sized 
          Instructions
