Classroom Trust

The moment an instructor walk inside the classroom the student knows whether an instructor could command respect or someone they can manipulate in the process. Proper conduct,house rules needs to be set and timely short humour at times helps in order for them to understand that instructors are humane and trust will serve as there foundation.

Attention span

I thought it was very interesting that the average attention span for an adult is only 15-18 minutes.

Real world problems

I have found that when I give the class a work packet that has real world problems from actual shops with cars that had these problems the students can see that they will be forced to try and solve problems that may not be in a diagnostic manual. This teaches them to look at the symptoms, analyze the information that is presented to them and try to come up to a single conclusion to help diagnois the problem. The students really seem to enjoy this type of brainstorming in their groups and it really shows how well they are getting the covered material.

Delivery Methods

Entering the instructional arena for the first time will involve a lot of trial and error. After only two days of classroom instruction I can see the attention span of many of the adults is approximately 15-18 minues. Application on the visualization and tactile style of learning will be essential with students entering the medical profession.

Instructing for the first time

Although working in the field for 16 years, as a new instructor it will be very challenging to share the infromation in a format that will keep adult learners motivated. Patient education flows without problems; as they are interested in their well being.

Mixing Tests

I think using different tests throughout the course would be most beneficial as it will cater to all types of students and their testing abilities.

First Impression is Lasting.

When you walk into the class room, posturing, the way you dress , if you are sloppy this will give the student an impression that your are easy going and you can not command respect as an instructor. Your facial expression or the tone of your voice can alienate a student.

Setting standards and expectations

It's always easier to give them some slack later. If you don't show your in charge you'll never be able to. Start out firm and if they deserve it you can lighten up.
