Instructional Delivery & Assessment

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

The structure of the question is key based on learning style. Puzzles for logic learners, word puzzles for written learners, etc.

Types of learners

It should be plain that we need to learn our students rather than they learn material.

Walking Around

I think walking around while you lecture is good. It work for me because you make the students feel comfortable with you. Also, they free they have a better access to you.

Review of tests and quizzes

Do you feel it is important to hand back tests and quizzes to let the students see their results and go over incorrect answers?

Learning Disability

Broadly speaking most students have some form of learning disability. The main difference is just that for some it is more pronounced and therefore requires more attention.

Using Metaphors and Analogies

Using Metaphors and Analogies is a great strategy,especially for students with limited vocabulary. by using illustrations of daily life the instructor can explain complex topics easily.

Monitoring Students

Monitoring students is a good strategy to employ to prevent undesirable behaviors. It also shows that the instructor cares enough for his or her students as individuals.

Application-based instruction

Application-based Instruction in which students themselves provide examples of their own experiences is an effective way to capture and maintain students' attention.

Testing material

I prefer to use standardize test, as long as it covers the material I covered in my lectures. I actually take the standardize test prior to me giving it out so that I know the material on the test is something we covered in class. However, I prefer to not use T/F questions because it is either or and does not provide how much the students comprehended.

Evaluating students progress

How do you evaluate a students progress beside testing them on the material discussed. How do you assess their knowledge of the material unless you include short answer questions, otherwise multiple choice is a process of elimination.

How to keep students engaged

I begin to provide stories about specific topics when I see students are looking bored and drifting off. I start asking them questions about the topic at hand and request feedback.

Learning style

I obtain my learning style and teaching style through trial and error while managing staff. I learned people are different and they have different skill sets. Students like employees learn at different styles, which means you have to address them by what is best for them to receive what you are teaching them.

Active Learning

Lecturing has been my style of instruction for maany years. These days I have been inondated with active learning, active learning and more active learning being talked about for all class room activity. Because of this module I have seen how I can still lecture but do it in a way that will be more receptive to my students.
