PBL

What is going on everbody…

Yet that curious for the new topic? Not that much honestly because since the teacher mentioned it during the class I knew what we had to talk about. Anyway just a simple clarification; PBL- engages students in learning that is deep and enduring ,and inspires for them a love of learning and personal connection to their academic experience.

While reading for PBL approach it reminded me of some  projects we used to do at school and I don’t even know why I hated so much tho’-maybe it was a must to present them in front of the class and absolutely it was kind of frustrating, or perhaps we weren’t that motivated enough… Great! Here we comes at the very best part of it,-“challenge”. Students should know its aim, why they are up to putting that approach into work and intentionally studying with everyday activities.

Students are better able to apply what they know to new situations and develop career interests.  They drive each other’s learning in group work. I am really into collaborations. They have to expand their desirable skills which it might be used for their future practice.

In actual fact I  want to be focused on student’s reflection and constructing their own learning with the help of PBL and it  is going to succeed, as it is attuned to what we know now about successful learning. .As we know that learning is very complex dimension and it is very difficult for learner. Many people know that only received the information is knowledge but it is not true because education means how much learner understand the particular phenomenon or content or context.

My role in the future is more like that of a facilitator and coach of student learning, acting at times as a resource person, rather than as knowledge-holder and disseminator.

PBL is one of the strongly recommended teaching methods to integrate the principles of sustainable development into the teaching process at all stages. 21st Century needs Human Capital with both Theoretical and Practical Knowledge and various skills like Team Work,  Leadership, Problem Solving, Creativity etc. This method  is ideal to improve those skills.

Flipped Classroom

New way of active learning,new blog ,new experience…

I know that if learner woud be part of flipped classroom ,they are less likely to become frustrated when watching videos. This technique requires strong motivation from the learners,otherwise they can’t be that successful or they would keep the same level of knowledge.,I think that it might not work that much because it also assumes every student had access to a laptop or good internet access. Last time we were part of the flipped classroom and we were way to confused. It seems to be a short scary movie ,as i mentioned during that class,when we had to post everything on time,as it was required. We were asking each other for further instruction but we couldn’t even help ourselves. It was our first time doing that very thing which I have to admit it that it was the best class  I have ever engaged myself to. And you know what, I want to do that in every subject.

Sometimes flipped classroom works,students move at their own pace,review what they need when they need to. But what if some students can’t learn through screens and yeah,all it takes for me is changing the whole plan. Students learn in different ways no matter what as long as they are interested. Everything its up to technology, but why not taking notes while processing…

What if I decide to record or prerecord the lesson? This might be the best way. Every learner would have the chance to receive the full instruction and the most considerable apart is that they do learn. I do really think a lot about myself on how am I going to teach my students without spending time/energy to keep them quite or even to engage them.I really want my students to be unable to endure the wait and say :’hey this upcoming class is going to be a exciting one !”

I would like to use padlet,its a helpful form of learning ,and all it takes is watching a video,and then students will be able to give their opinions collaborately. I guess its easier for them to watch rather than reading.

What students like more is the quiz,as gamified formative assessment activities,assign these activities as homework, which allows the students to play the games individually.With the help of these tools, teachers can implement a flipped classroom approach—with students working on their own either at home or in the classroom—and provide a more individualized learning experience for all of their students.

Its okay to not know,but it is not okay to not try. So why not give your best for your students???

Looking forward for the next topic!

Constructivism and cooperative learning.

Constructivism and cooperative learning.

Another interesting topic to engage myself in. A really well known word, and since I was In touched with that I knew it was all about the process of learning. So, constructivism is basically a theory based on observation and scientific study,about how people learn, it says that people construct  their own understandings and knowledge of the world,through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences.

The constructivist teacher provides tools such as a problem solving and inquiry based learning activities with students formulate and test their ideas. Teachers should encourage and helping them to construct their knowledge rather than reproducing. Back in time all I knew was learning things by heart,and this is the worst that can happens to any of us, since in a way we were forced to not express what we were actually thinking especially in literature. So,apperantly we must not do the same with our future students.  If the teacher does not act like a facilitator like helping us with the smallest thing around in the process of learning we wouldn’t formulate knowledge ideas or understandings.

Constructivism transforms students into an active participant in the learning process. They are urged to be actively involved in their own process of learning. Teachers functions more as an organizer who prompts and helps students develop and assess their learning. LEARNING IS BUILD ON WHAT THE STUDENTS ALREADY KNOWS,better say,their mind are always active. Learning happens best when it is done in a way that it is practical ,relevant and engaging rather than theoretical,and that learning happens everywhere,anytime.

Before starting the new lesson the students should be asked about the previous lesson if they had any of the difficulties or uncertainties and if so we better not avoid that and start to explain the lesson again or otherwise they would be so into confusion.

I will put my students in charge of trying things that doesn’t work. I don’t like the fact that the traditional teachers make them to work like robots. If students feel free to reflect on their experience they can control their  own learning and we as teacher should create a situation where our students feel safe questioning and reflecting on their own processes,either privately or in group discussions.

How can students make their own judgements? This can be succeeded by a discussions based on the questions that teachers are up to. As for the learning activities ,it requires the students’ full participation cooperative learning and based on my personal experience I am really good at collaborating with my colleagues.

As a modern educator to be I hope I will succeed in what I have planned for my future students.

I wish that my blog was wothy enough!
Say whatever positive things that come into your mind... :)

Multiple intelligences and multimedia

                 Multiple intelligences and multimedia

It was a good start,and it hooked me into some sort of interest.It also made me reflect on what I have accomplished so far. After reading the lecture made me to update my way of thinking and made me to think of my “how to motivate my future students” list. According to Gardner everyone possesses these multiple intelligences or simply put ,students and teachers has different abilities ,they do understand the others,they do know themselves and they might be able to make something valuable for the teaching part using their body/mind. Many teachers have had the experience of not being able to reach some students until presenting the information in a completely different way or providing new options for student expression. Perhaps it was a student who struggled with writing until the teacher provided the option to create a graphic story, which blossomed into a beautiful and complex narrative. The theory of multiple intelligences challenges the idea of a single IQ, where human beings have one central "computer" where intelligence is housed. 

 It is useful to think about the different ways that information can be presented. However, it is critical to not classify students as being specific types of learners nor as having an inborn or fixed type of intelligence. It is important to use multimedia because we do learn and apply real-world skills,students work collaboratively,they receive new information which is not part of the traditional teaching methods and considerably they do develop the presentation and speaking skills. As a “to be” teacher I would use all the media forms just to draw their attention and make them to find my work fascinating for what I have created.

The implements of the multimedia in teaching is essential ,and it is changing the ways of learning itself. Besides it contains various elements such as text,graphic,sound and video and with the implementation of its elements student will be more motivated,if not it will be a primary reason for high student dropout rates as a lack of encouragement. Out of the ordinary,with the help of the new technology we have been developing our natural or fixed type of intelligence unwillingly.

Multimedia technology effects both aspect of teaching and learning,starting with the developing media literacy skills that involve critically analyzing the use of the technology and the information derived from them.what should be underlined is the oppurtinity to work in partnership that is provided by MM.

Finally,it may be concluded that learning should be meaningful.Multimedia is the only format to date that can monitor growth in all of the intelligences that Gardner has identified.MM increases student’s achievement and motivation. The theory of multiple intelligences implies that our teaching should be able to develop as much as possible students’ different potentials in their intelligences,giving everyone the chance to demonstrate and use their potentials to the fullest possible. As a result the technology,teachers and learner will be in the absolute control.

Hope you find it pleasant and practical.
Thanks!
