Stimulation and debriefing are two important parts of learning.
Simulations are very effective methods of learning. Best is using all possible methods and techniques.
The most important audit of an activity is making sure that it is aligned to the learning objectives for the session.
Debriefing is a great opportunity to help students understand the material better.
I learned how important the debriefing process is. Often we run out of class time and neglect the debriefing since there is so much content to cover. I plan to make the debriefing a necessary part of the learning process. I will also be looking into some alpha music for during group work. Chemistry can be frustrating for some students and this might help.
As new instructors we have to remember to engauge our students in ways that will promote the retention and the willingness to repeat the process because it is associated with pleasure and a pleasent envoronment.
I reallt like the ideas presented around the debriefing session and how that should play out following a learning avtivity. the process of reflecting back to the students what they learned and my not have fully accepted yet. Allowing the negative experiences to be aired out while also leading with follow up questions to the postive being drawn out. good stuff.
Stimulating students with a game like atmosphere and getting them to enjoy learning is a great way to teach.
Simulation activities tend to create a real life experience. Debriefing is important in understanding your students. Use activities that in include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic ways to teach.
Activities need to be meaningful, not just something to pass time.
Game are always a great tool in learning
Everyone has different learning styles, but we need to help students find out what works best for them and follow up to make sure they are adapting to the enviroment.
Simulations are great learning activities for all different type of learners.
Having games, like Jeopardy helps the students to stay engaged and learn the subject.
It is very important to incorporate the different learning styles into how you deliver your content. I can't just utilize one because not all students learn the same. I have been trying to figure out how to change things up, and this information has been a great help!
Making sure students are learning and engaged by stimulating activities
I can echo that. I have used Jeopardy and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for content review. I typically break the class into three or four groups and the group gets to collaborate on the answer. For that reason, the 'buzzer' time is extended.
I have simulations built into the class but I want to try some games like jeopardy. I have learned how someone can learn in this way
