Instructors need to be attentive to students of different ages, and learning styles to focus on keeping everyone engaged. Making sure that you treat everyone fairly, especially when it comes to talk time in class, grading, and turning assignments in on time.
Being a new instructor I am still learning the ways student can manipulate. If only they would use this energy for their studies.
Invite guest speakers to the class, and include all students in all activities
It is important to keep the students engage in the class.
Sometimes it is so hard to reachout to these students who seem like they could care less. I think we just need to relate it to something they like. For example, I teach food and nutrition, obviously my students are not all going to become chefs but they might play a sport where they need to focus on their nutrition.
I really appreciated reading about the various types of "problem" students and the concrete examples of strategies that can be used for each type. I think it will take a lot of increased awareness and intentional use of the strategies at first, until they become a natural part of my teaching repertoire.
I really enjoyed the insight on the problem students most of us face in our careers. It sheds light on how to deal with and defuse many of the obstacles we face as instructors and how to remedy the situation. Considering, that every teacher will have many of these students throughout the years of teaching, I think this was most beneficial to read.
Especially in blended classes, having the students engage and be with video on is a debate
I think it is always a challenge to deal with so many different personalities. but understanding the personailites will help with the dynamics of the class
Ask the student that are disrupting the class a question that you were discussing.
The content for this module is so true. I have dealt with those students that think they are getting over on the new instructor. But, they forget that some of us have been around and can read individuals. I can tell when someone is sincere or just wanting something. I just smile and thank them for their kind words.
I appreciate different strategies for dealing with different personality types.
I loved this one!! I learned that I need to walk around my classroom to encourage those students who are not paying attention. I will also be adding some group discussion.
I really liked the module on the students who want to be the center of attention. Some good steps that could be taken to curb the students that just cannot control their urges to speak or goof off in class. I like the way each method attempts to bring the student back to abiding by the guidelines or expectations set at the beginning of the lesson by the teacher.
This module was about the varioys student behaviors we encounter and strategies to use. I like the idea of walking around class although this is impossible for me since I taach 4 campuses and once and have to sit right in front of the computer monitor the whole class.
the teaching techniques and methods used to control the class and behavior of individual students. ways to keep attention on the content you're delivering as well as handling innatentive or excesively talkative students.
Student involvement is equal to student engagement.
Inattentive students has always been an issue when we taught in the classroom. Now with online teaching I am finding the problem to be expediental. This term since October, I have had the highest failure rate. I think students are having a hard time managing their time and staying focused. Any suggestions?
Having only been an instructor for a couple of months, this is the most relevant course to my situation Iv'e taken. THis knowlwge will come in very helpful with my next class of students.
There are various faces to the students in each class: unprepared one, ready to quit, apple polishing, blamers, inattentive and center stage. Each type of student needsthe appropriate support and encouragement to help redirect and engage students in learning.
