Engaging students in the learning process and creating avenues to promote productive classroom discussions results from classroom management and structure. Strategies found to be effective in the classroom is establishing teacher-student relationships, construct group assignments, establish goal-setting techniques and maintain a safe learning environment. Relationships “Creating a classroom that is developmentally responsive begins by getting to know the students”(Ruppert, 2012). Student and teacher relationships require a positive interaction to enhance communication and trust to allow their creativity to flourish. This article discusses the strategies to create positive student teaching relationships. 1. Maintain a record of student’s strengths and weaknesses 2.

...Teaching Strategy Unit Exponential and Logarithmic equations In this unit I am going to be teaching both Exponential and Logarithmic equations. The different strategies that I have chosen to use will help the students be able to define both kinds of equations, describe their similarities, and describe the relationship between one another. The strategies that I plan on using in this unit are Semantic Question Map, Venn diagram, Semantic Map, Circle graph, and Bio Pyramid. Each strategy has been changed in order to fit with the topic. In this unit Exponential equations will be taught before Logarithmic equations, and connections will need to be made between the two. Semantic Question Map: To open the unit up with exponential equations I plan on using the semantic question map in order to give students and idea of what questions they need to be thinking about as we begin the unit. The questions for example will ask students “what should you do to the exponents if their bases are being multiplied and they are the same?” Students will be required to answer these questions each day at the end of the lesson as we answer each one. This strategy will also be used when we begin to study Logarithmic equations. Circle Graph: This strategy is going to be used at the end of the section on Exponential equations and end of Logarithmic equations. The Circle graph is simply a small circle within a larger circle. The smaller circle will either contain exponential equations, or logarithmic...

...ing strategiesTeaching Strategies There are a variety of teaching strategies that instructors can use to improve student learning. The links below will show you some ways to make your classes more engaging. * Active Learning - Active Learning is anything that students do in a classroom other than merely passively listening to an instructor's lecture. Research shows that active learning improves students' understanding and retention of information and can be very effective in developing higher order cognitive skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. * Collaborative/Cooperative Learning - Cooperative and collaborative learning are instructional approaches in which students work together in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal.They need to be carefully planned and executed, but they don't require permanently formed groups. * Critical Thinking - Critical thinking is a collection of mental activities that include the ability to intuit, clarify, reflect, connect, infer, and judge. It brings these activities together and enables the student to question what knowledge exists. * Discussion Strategies - Engaging students in discussion deepens their learning and motivation by propelling them to develop their own views and hear their own voices. A good environment for interaction is the first step in encouraging students to talk. * Experiential Learning - Experiential learning is an approach to education that focuses on "learning by...

...The age group I have is 6-7 year olds, when it comes to little kids learning new things, you have to do it where you know it will interest them. Kids now a day’s which always like to learn new things but if it don’t interest them they will not be into it to learn. It’s almost like you are doing what they want you to do just to get them to learn. Sometimes you have to do what the kids like if it is going to benefit them. When it comes to teaching kids about literature and different techniques they can use to get them to learn the information or more so do what you want them to, here I talk about three different strategies that the kids would love and it will keep them wanting to read more and more. Drawing pictures that they like out of the book they read have the kids read a book that is good for them that will teach them a lot of things. When it come to little kids doing book reports they do not get into so much, kids get a little bored with book reports. I know when I was younger I didn’t like doing them because I didn’t like to write stories about anything cause it was too long. Drawing pictures about different things they read in the book and make their own story out of it would be great for kids so young. Kids love to color and draw pictures of things so this project will be no problem for them. Even if two to three kids wanted to get together and do a booklet or even a poster board would be good to, because the kids get together and communicate amongst themselves. The...

...Debate as a Teaching Strategy Cinthya Alicea Keiser University Debate as a Teaching Strategy Communication is the most crucial part of human interaction. There are many benefits to effective communication which enhance aspects of our personal everyday lives. There is also misunderstood communication which results in a vain outcome and can lead to embarrassment or even more serious results in an adult’s life. Public speaking today is not rare, we go on about our daily lives communicating with people throughout our day whether it be work related or just speaking socially for recreational purposes. Public speaking promotes communication for important messages or simply for teaching purposes. When we combine communication and teaching we can create great lectures but when we involve our listeners and interact with one another we create a debate. This paper is going to promote the benefits and applicable use of debate as a teaching strategy. There are many teaching strategies used today. Each is specifically distinguished and with its own discipline. Teaching strategies break off into braches to create types of lectures that fit with the learning styles of the students. There are a number of teaching strategies, some are: Role playing; where simulations in class can be an excellent way to engage students. Case studies; these have been used for actively engaging students in problem solving applicable to their discipline. Effective discussions; engage students in thinking and...

...Discussion as a Teaching Strategy Enrique Sanabria, Jr. Education 205 (FG) Dr. Hope Hartman Discussion: Concepts and Ideology Teaching is an art form all its own. It has order, function, purpose, meaning, and, like art, evolves and takes shape within the imagination and mind of the teacher. At the disposal of the teacher are many ways or strategies that can be utilized to ensure that those being taught are truly and fully comprehending and utilizing any and all knowledge accumulated and assimilated. To list a few, there are strategies such as reciprocal teaching, reciprocal questioning, problem- or project-based learning, tutoring, or debating/discussion. In this paper, the strategy that will be focused upon is discussion. Different people and even experts will have differing definitions of what exactly is discussion. A very concise, yet highly intelligent definition has been given for the word and teaching strategy known as Discussion. According to Larson (1997), Wileen & White (1991) stated that it (discussion) is characterized as a structured conversation among participants who present, examine, compare and understand similar and diverse ideas about an issue. Larson (1997) also stated Gall (1985) reported that discussion is an effective way to promote higher-level thinking, develop student attitudes, and advance student capability for moral questioning. In short, discussion provides opportunities for student thoughtfulness...

...Historically the United states has been known for how great our education systems are, but in the last decade, our test scores keep plummeting, particularly in math and science sections. Mathematics is a fundamental course that will affect and influence students for the rest of their lives. That is why it is essential that these students get a firm grasp on the subject at a young age, so that they do not fall behind and into a vicious cycle of always trying to keep up. When it comes to learning mathematics, there are a multitude of different teaching techniques that could be utilized, and in today's educational system teachers need to be adaptive to alternative learning methods, and manipulatives are a great example of that.

...Appropriate Teaching Strategies Korianne Shafer SOC312: Child Family & Society (BMF1441A) Art Tolentino October 27, 2014 Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Strategies Diversity encompasses numerous characteristics including socio-economic background, ethnicity, special needs, gender, and giftedness (Cazden, 2001). Today, classrooms are getting more varied and diverse with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and students with a disability. It appears that teachers must meet the needs of all students successfully and individually to effectively teach a classroom of diverse students. This paper will first identify three challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse children. These three challenges are acknowledging there is a difference and that all students are not the same, establishing school-wide cultural collaboration, and implementing culturally responsive teaching. Second it will discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using the sociological perspective of conflict theory. Third and finally it will discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using the relevant perspective of Piaget’s preoperational stage of development. To make certain that all students in a certain classroom justly feel like they belong to that class, teachers who teach in diverse and inclusive classrooms must employ major strategies. The first challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies...

...Emerging Philosophy and Teaching Strategies Crystal Carpenter ECE 101 Instructor Newcomb August 20, 2012 Emerging Philosophy and Teaching Strategies People are learning every day, whether we are aware of it or not, it is in our nature. It is important for us to be learning and growing constantly, and it is especially true for children. Philosophers dated back to the 1600’s have been studying early childhood education and teaching young children. Each philosopher has his own beliefs about how best children learn. However, there is one thing they all have in common, children do learn, and are learning every moment of every day. Although I am not yet a teacher, I do have beliefs of my own that stem from some of these philosophers, and I will use these beliefs in my future classroom. Up first of my current beliefs comes from John Locke (1632-1714). Locke believed that careful instruction with some time for recess was appropriate education (Estes, Krogh, 2012). In my future classroom, I will have a carefully planned out schedule and curriculum to teach my students by, allowing them well needed recess throughout the day. Recess is just as important as instruction and gives time for children to loosen up and play also letting out some energy built up from being in the classroom. My second and third beliefs tie in together, as they fall along the same lines. Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) believed that children who use a manipulative(s) that stimulate...

...Developmentally Appropriate Teaching Strategies SOC 312 March 4, 2015 Today, classrooms are filled with children of many different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, it is important that educators have proper knowledge of dealing with children of diversity. Teachers need to establish strategies to academically meet the needs of their diverse students. In this paper, I will discuss three challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse children. I will also discuss these cultural challenges in the classroom using one sociological perspective and another perspective. One issue is lack of knowledge of students’ cultural backgrounds. “Gaining general knowledge about a cultural or ethnic group can give teachers a sense of views about behavior, rules or decorum and etiquette, communication and learning styles.” (New York University Steinhardt School, 2008). Teachers should show interest in learning about their students. This can be done on their own time by paying visits to the home to communicate with parents to learn information or in the classroom by doing class projects that relates to the student’s culture. Another issue is stereotyping. Educators need to know their place. Students should not be judged because of their race, culture, ethnicity, etc. Minorities should not be looked at any different because of cultural characteristics. “To engage students effectively in the learning process, teachers must know their students...

Dayto ------------------------------------------------- Observation Questions: 1. What are the objectives of the lesson? I have observed many subjects. And I think the objective in every different subject is; to make students learn but his objective is not OBE or outcomes based. And the reason is the teacher is not making any lesson plan. 2. What learning activities were introduced? I think it is about sharing his experience to his students makes a good learning activity. With the help of sharing your students will be active and it is a good strategy to take away any drowsiness in the classroom. 3. How do the learners participate in these activities? By listening and doing what the teacher will tell. Like in their class in P.E. they participate by playing the volleyball in correct manner. 4. What instructional materials were employed? Discuss whether such materials were computer generated or not. How did she prepare these materials? There are no instructional materials if the teacher teaches his students. But there are some if there is a reporter. They’re not computer generated. Their materials are more on Manila paper. 5. How did the teacher assess the learning about the lesson? Is it the process or the product? I think it is product because he taught them how to play volleyball...
