Modeling Effective Teaching Techniques - Very Beneficial!
After this week’s readings of Newcomb I have come to realize
that I, an aspiring agriculture educator, am responsible to use a lot of
techniques to keep my students engaged.
I am responsible for leading the Learning Process by using a wide range
of approaches. To begin allow me to
share with you the six steps in the learning process:
1.
Experiencing a provocative situation
2.
Defining the problem – clarifying questions to
be answered
3.
Seeking data and information
4.
Formulating possible solutions
5.
Testing proposed solutions
6.
Evaluating the results
These steps lead into things for me as the teacher, known as
Problem-Solving Approach to Teaching.
These particular steps are as follows: Interest Approach, Objective to
be achieved, Problems to be solved – questions to be answered, Problem solution,
Testing solutions through application and, Evaluation of solutions.
The learning process and the problem-solving approach to
teaching are two things that in my opinion – can be intertwined. They can be intertwined in ways that promote
independence, make use of multiple opinions, evaluate and apply information,
and even teach students how to learn.
Some of the activities that can be utilized to achieve these goals are:
supervised study, experiments, independent study, the use of student notebook,
and a variety of papers that contain information, skills, and assignments.
This week’s readings have helped me as the educator to
realize that I have a lot of resources available to me to better my
students. Something that is nice is that
these resources and techniques are things that are very little cost to no cost
at all. This means that to be a good
teacher and to really hone in on the learning process, does not mean that I
have to be at a wealthy school. I am
excited to incorporate all of these great ideas into my future lesson plans
especially as I prep to student teach!
