Students apply forces in class to effect motion in objects. They perform a task as a group and individually that is assessed using rubric. This is important because we are assessing students based on practical ability, as they perform a task related to the syllabus. During the assessment students have the opportunity to continue learning as they interact with materials.

They were selected as the first two principles they underpin the others. They are significant in my practice as they force me to ensure my assessments are aligned with curriculum goals. MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588962908 2021-06-07 04:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588962908 Technology Integration Caption: Technology integrating in this lesson involves the use of virtual laboratories. The use of online virtual labs has provided students with the opportunity to practice before performing school-based assessment practical. In this lesson we incorporate virtual labs at the form 3 level so that students can create circuits without fear of damaging lab equipment. This mode of technology integration is vital through the pandemic but can also be applied after so that students can continue learning when not in the lab. MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588964160 2021-06-07 04:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588964160 School Lessons Caption: The technology is integrated in a form 2 moments of force lesson. The lesson requires students to balance forces. This is effectively achieved using the virtual lab. This technology provides alternative systems for students to balance that would not be available in the traditional lab. The results being engaged students that see moments applied in a variety of ways.

This is to be achieved by first defining conductors and insulators. Then allowing students to interact with them. From this point students should be able to recognise the basic premise of circuit construction. The main goal that I am attempting to achieve is that students can apply theoretical physics in practical assignments. Through this unit students can see the impact of physics in the real world. When planning this unit, I found myself disappointed that I could not apply all that I have learned in pedagogy in totality due to the pandemic. Despite this challenge, I believe this unit to be effective in attaining its goals while reaching a wide range of students.

It is a timeline of my achievements and challenges as I progress through the Diploma in Education programme. It serves as a tool for self-reflection and continued growth.Purpose StatementThis portfolio serves as a self-reflection of my growth and development over the past nine months. It is a chronological illustration which incorporates a timeline the displays my development form start to finish through the Diploma in Education programme 2020-2021. My thinking has been improved, I can no longer see teaching as simply a career, when in fact it is a calling to serve my community and country. This portfolio displays my earnest efforts not to simply serve but to serve to the best of my ability. Self-reflection allows for honest self-critiquing of the effectiveness of all aspects of my work thus providing me with an opportunity to improve my teaching strategies as I endeavour to become a better teacher. I view this portfolio as not only a record of my growth but also a tool to assist me in tracking my progress as I improve my skills as a teacher.Serious introspection is needed when writing reflective pieces. As a result, reflections are an examination of both the positive and negative aspects of my work. Reflections by their nature can elicit a range of emotions when they are being written. Previously my self-reflections could be described as superficial, this portfolio has allowed me to improve this aspect of myself. I see this portfolio the start of my growth process and it is crucial as I continue to develop myself.Christian De Matas Diploma in Education Student 2020-2021 MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588987467 2021-06-07 04:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588987467 Instructional Scaffolding Caption: A scaffold is designed to allow students to climb the steps of learning increasing their ability. Scaffolds are designed to build on the foundation and works to gradually remove the teacher from learning as students take greater responsibility. The students that this is offered to can be of varied ability. The idea is that teachers recognise that each student is learning at a different pace. This is significant in my practice as previously I did not structure my units and lessons with the idea of students growing. MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588994162 2021-06-07 04:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1588994162 Task Analysis Caption: The task to be analysed is the creation of an electromagnet. It is in the form three lesson “constructing of an electromagnet”. The task is important as it provides students the opportunity to apply theory practically. Students can see the effect of electricity and magnetism and allow magnetic and nonmagnetic objects to interact. Task analysis is important to my practice as it encourages me to properly outline each step of a task that I expect students to perform.

My approach to teaching may be considered unconventional. I approach teaching as an artform where skills must constantly be developed and everything I produce can be refined. My goal is to be to teaching physics what Machel Montano is to soca. I aim to bring energy, fun, and a certain sense of civic mindedness to my classroom. It may be ambitious and even lofty, despite this as I tell my students I say to myself, “Aim for the moon even if you miss you land upon the stars” – Vincent Peale MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1589074443 2021-06-07 05:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1589074443 Curriculum Integration Caption MrDeMatas https://padlet.com/MrDeMatas/ygyejko3cy5sk9j4/wish/1633656289
The concept taught in this unit was the Writing od Scientific Reports. This is relevant to society as persons should be able to effectively communicate activities they have undertaken. The collaboration gave me a very different perspective on education as a whole and the need for content to be integrated.  Integrating the selected aspects of this units provides the students with a fun, engaging experience that also allows for the completion of lesson unit objectives while incorporating two aspects of the secondary school curriculum.

As agent of change I will provide stimulus for improvement to the benefit of students and colleagues. This requires self-motivation, collaboration with peers and a willingness to learn new things. The pandemic has brought to the forefront the need of better planning and preparation and above all the need for change in the education sector to meet the needs a the current student population.
