I especially liked the idea of using learning centres to get students to evoke prior knowledge on how it is like in a hawker centre using their five senses. Students will definitely benefit from having such creative and interactive ways of learning!]]> 2022-02-21 03:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057985839 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057995462 I learned about the different strategies used in both whole class and small group teaching.  I especially like the idea of using a direct instructional approach + concept attainment approach (inquisitive learning) as well as the learning center approach.

However, the type of approach/strategies we adopt is very much dependent on the lesson objective, class dynamics, and time frame for implementation. Hence, it is good to be familiarised with more than one of these strategies so we can interchange our lesson enactment and keep things fresh and lively in our classes. 

The importance of preparation for lessons as well as preparing students for the different activities and how to navigate conflicts, how to get through routines, and establishing clear expectations is also important for their learning. ]]> 2022-02-21 03:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057995462 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057997814 Today's learning has been very rich because there are so many ways we can conduct a lesson. I picked important teaching actions to be incorporated in my practice like tuning-in, setting group work routines and routines for conflict. Always prepare extensively as the more you perspire, the less you inspire. And also, to take note of the time of day of your lesson as it will affect the readiness of your students]]> 2022-02-21 03:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057997814 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057999715 Today's lesson has been a fruitful one as I have learnt many new strategies that I could apply in my classroom next time. I am particularly keen to try learning centres and jigsaw to mix it up for my students such that they will find learning more enjoyble!]]> 2022-02-21 03:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2057999715 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058001547 I really enjoyed today's lesson as I managed to add new strategies and ideas into my teaching bank! I'm starting to see how the different ideas can come together to create an effective lesson. ]]> 2022-02-21 03:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058001547 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058002312 I learnt about various ways to enhance collaborative learning between students and also strategies that can help develop creative thinking and student empowerment. It is also important that we validate our students' feelings and encourage them in spite of wrong answers, so that they know it is human to make mistakes; what's more important is to learn from them.]]> 2022-02-21 03:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058002312 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058013256 One learning point that I took away from the lesson today is that we should adopt a variety of teaching approaches as they have their advantages and limitations. By practising the application of approaches in class, we can maximise the potential of these approaches and help our students learn better in different ways.]]> 2022-02-21 04:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058013256 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058022333 I was reminded of the importance of setting the necessary routines before using the small-group teaching strategies.

I was also reminded to not underestimate the importance of preparing and rehearsing my lessons before I carry them out in the classroom. ]]> 2022-02-21 12:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058683890 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058746836 It is insightful to learn from other groups sharing on the various teaching approaches. I think this activity itself taught me how powerful small group teaching can be & should be actively used in our own classroom. After all, the best way to learn is to teach what you have know for others. ]]> 2022-02-21 13:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058746836 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058774928 There are plenty of effective approaches to lesson planning and execution, but they have a proper time and place as some might be more apt in certain scenarios. ]]> 2022-02-21 13:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058774928 jocelyn_ang_huiyue https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058871228 There are different approaches to enhance collaborative learning but a teacher will need to prepare and rehearse the lessons well in order to carry out the lesson efficiently.]]> 2022-02-21 14:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058871228 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/fizs7ltcypqls4oc/wish/2058891163 Preparation is key to achieving what you want in the classroom. Through adopting either singularly, or through an amalgamation of the small group learning strategies during our lesson planning, we should be able to cater to diverse learners needs and stem potential problems to allow for a better lesson for our students.
