My Overall Experiences in Pedagogy In Education Class

      Hi everyone. Today, I am here to share all my experiences and knowledge that I have learned throughout my Pedagogy In Education class as I am now towards the end of my semester.  In my Pedagogy In Education class, I have mainly understand that there are various teaching skills that can help to make the entire teaching and learning process more interesting and effective in future. For example, educators can make their entire lessons interesting by carrying out activities that are knowledgeable and fun at the same time when teaching the students in the classroom. This could help the learners to understand the content of the lessons well. Teachers should not practice textbook -orientated teaching style as the students well get bored easily and they will not be able to concentrate well on the lessons thought by the teacher in the classroom.

       

      Besides that, I also manage to learn the three schools of thoughts which are Cognitive School of Thought, Behaviorist School of Thought and Humanistic School of Thought. This three school of thoughts that are very important in order for the future educators like me to plan the lesson plans and improve their teaching skills in future.
     
        In addition to this topic, I also managed to learn about classroom management that focuses on how teachers can manage their classroom well in order to form an effective classroom teaching and learning process in future. For example, teacher can set rules and regulations that can help the students to become discipline and behave well when participating in the classroom learning and   teaching process.

         Overall, by learning this particular subject or course, I am able to prepare myself to become a professional educator as I am able to understand the ways to make my lesson interesting and I am also able to fulfill the needs of my students that are different from time to time. I hope that I Will be able to develop the entire teaching methods or techniques to the next level in future. This is all from me. Thanks for viewing my blog and please do keep upon giving your support. THANK YOU.

      

      

       

Classroom Management

      Hi everyone. I am here again in my blog to share my this week teaching and learning process that occurs in Pedagogy In Education class or subject. In this week class, my lecturer explained in detail about classroom management which is one of the important element in education field. 

      When it comes to classroom Management, IT ACTUALLY MEANS how educators manage their classroom well in order to produce an effective classroom teaching and learning process in short.

Classroom management is very important because when a classroom is not organized or well managed, it will definitely effects the entire teaching process that occurs in the classroom. As a result, teachers will not be able to become professional in their career and at the same time, students will not be able to become holistic or skilled in all aspects in future.

      A teacher must not only emphasizes in teaching the students in the classroom, but at the same time, they must be able to fulfill their students needs from time to time in order to forge a good relationship among them in future. 

      

      Besides that, in order to manage the classroom well, a teacher must have several rules and regulations that need to be followed by the students in the classroom so that the students will become more responsible and discipline in handling things in the classroom. For example, rule like cannot make noise in the classroom will avoid the students from talking with their friends when the teacher is carrying out their lesson in the classroom. This will help them to understand the lessons that are being thought to them in the classroom by their respective teacher more better because of high in concentration level. 

      

      Furthermore, classroom management also involves the activities that the teachers have planned. For example , an effective classroom management involves the activities that teacher have carried out. A teacher must make sure that the activities that they want to carry out in the classroom requires students to use more than one specific skill. This will be helpful in developing students that are holistic which are one of the aims and goals of the National Educational of Philosophy. 

This is all for now. I will be back again soon. Please keep giving your kind feedback from time to time. Thank you.

Introduction to Classroom Management

       Hi everyone, I am back again in my blog to share my this week learning and teaching process for Pedagogy in Education class. In this week Pedagogy In Education class, me and my friends learned about Classroom Management is basically known as the term used by teachers whom are the educators to explain in detail about the process of ensuring that a classroom teaching and learning process run smoothly although there is disturbing behavior by students whom are the learners. This particular learning process also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior.

       Based on what I had learned in the lecture room, in short, classroom management means how teachers (educators) manage the classroom that consists students (learners) of different characteristics and behaviors. When it comes to classroom, teachers must adapt the concept of "Can Do Attitude" which means that teachers must have the confidence that nothing is impossible when teaching the students in the classroom. They must make sure that they are able to come out with anything or new ideas that can help to fulfill the needs of the students which will usually be different. 

       

       Besides that, when it comes to classroom management, teachers must make sure that they show the care and concern about their students as well. An professional educators does not mean that they must be good in teaching the students perhaps they must also be good in showing care and concern towards their students. Students might face a lot of problems and they tend to loose their concentration on studies. So, a teacher must notice the changes in their behavior and try to show care and concern on them so that they will be back to normal in future.

      In addition to this context, the teachers must also make sure that the entire classroom environment is need and clean. They must make sure that the classroom is conducive for them to teach and for the students to learn as well. This is also one of the important element when it comes to classroom management theory.

   Furthermore, when it come to teaching and learning process in a classroom, teachers must understand their students in all aspects. For example, they must practice the term"No Excuse" which means students must understand their teachers by not giving lame excuses if they did not do their homework or respective task, At the same time, teachers also must not give excuses for punishing the students for not not completing their respective task if they a valid reason for completing it.

       Moreover, when it comes to classroom management, another important element is controlling our emotions. Teachers should and it is must for them to to control their emotions when teaching and handling the students in the classroom. They might face a lot of stress and difficulties when handling the students in the classroom due to the differences in their learning methods and behaviors. But yet, teachers must make sure that they know how to handle them without loosing their patience. They must always work hard to forge a good relationship with the students in order to have an effective teaching and learning process as well an effective classroom management in future.

       So, classroom management is very important for an effective classroom teaching and learning process. Therefore, teachers must make sure that all the above elements are taken into consideration  in order to have or produce an effective teaching and learning process besides to improve the quality of our country's education system in future. According to Albert Einstein, " Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think". This is all what we have learned in this week Pedagogy In Education Class. I am glad that I had an opportunity to learn about Classroom Management which is very important for teaching and learning process. As a future educator, it is very important for me to know and learn about this in order to become a professional educator in future which is main aim and goal in my life. That is all from me. Please do continue to visit my blog and remember to give you feedback for my improvement. Thanks everyone. Have a great day. 

       

       

       

Assignment 2: Mock Teaching and Modeled Lesson Plan.

      

      Hi everyone. Good Day. I am back again today in my blog to share this week learning process in my Pedagogy In Education class. Today, we were told to submit our assignment 2 by our lecturer. This respective assignment is basically about "Modelled Lesson Plan and Mock Teaching". We were given about 3 weeks to complete this assignment. For this assignment, we were told to choose or pick one model or framework from any 3 School of Thoughts that we have learned in our previous lesson which are Cognitive School of Thought, Humanistic School of Thought and Behavioural School of Thought. Then, we need to explain in detail why we chose that respective school of thought and what is that school of thought all about. After that, we need to create 3 lesson plans based on the school of thought that we have chosen. We need to justify the flow of the lessons and the instructions as well according to the model or framework that we have chosen. Lastly, we need to choose one of the three lesson plans that we have come out with for the teaching segment which is also known as "Mock Teaching". The main purpose why we were asked to do mock teaching is because to give us an opportunity to experience the feeling of teaching in front of the classroom before going for our practical in future.

      My friends and I conducted our mock teaching in front of our lecturer. We were given 30 minutes each to conduct our mock teaching. I came out with 3 lesson plans that emphasizes the Cognitive School of Thought. The main reason why I chose this particular school of thought in conducting my assignment because this particular school of thought emphasizes mainly about how people learn and remember information that are taught in the classroom by their teacher. I felt personally that this element or aspect is quiet important in order to have an effective classroom teaching and learning process in the classroom in future. I came out with one lesson plan which is about prepositions of place and position and used in my mock teaching presentation. I presented my mock teaching on Prepositions of Place and Position in front of my lecturer and my friends.

      I started my teaching process by greeting my students (whom are friends in actual). Then, I asked them do they remember what they have learned in their previous lesson which was about "Preposition of Time" and I asked them several questions related to " Prepositions of Time" in order to test their level of understanding that specific topic. After that, I asked one of the students to place my book on the table and I officially started my lesson of the day by relating that act of my student with Prepositions of Place and Position. For example, when I ask my students to place the book on the table, it means that they are indirectly using the knowledge of Prepositions of Place and Positions through the word "on".

      I also explained to them in detail about this particular Preposition of Place and Position using PowerPoint slides in order to make my entire teaching process interesting. Furthermore, I also relate this specific topic with the student real life activities like “Hide and Seek” so that they will be able to understand and integrate this specific topic into themselves better in future. In addition to this topic, I also carried out activity like asking them to construct sentences using prepositions of Place and Position based on the 2 pictures that I have displayed on the screen. I asked the students to carry out the activity in groups in order to forge interactions among them.

      Lastly, I ended my class by giving out questions or handouts related to lesson of the day which is Preposition of Place and Position and asked them to submit it on the next in order to test their understanding on this specific topic.

      Overall, my lecturer was happy with my mock teaching as it was interesting and also was carried out by me with full of confident. However, she told me to take note seriously on certain criteria that are required for an effective teaching process which I failed to show or adapt into my teaching process. For example, I was told that my teaching process is quiet long and my time slot was not that appropriate with it.
     My friends also carried out their mock teaching and all of them was able to present well. The entire mock teaching task was fun yet challenging for us. It also was a good experience for us as that was the first time we faced the experience of teaching in the classroom.
       As a conclusion, this assignment was very helpful for us whom are the future educators and I am sure that we all have gained the confidence of ourselves in teaching others before going or attempting our practical in schools in future.

      This is all from me. Thanks for viewing my blog. Please do give feedback from time to time. Your feedback will be very useful for me to improve my content in my blog in future. Will be back next week with a new topic. Have a great day. Thanks again.

     

Continuations of "Respective ways of teaching advocated by behaviorists"

Hi everyone. Today, I am here again to share on what I have learned my this week Pedagogy In Education. In this week class, me and friends learned a few other new respective ways of teaching advocated by behaviorists.

1. Precision Teaching (PT) - Occurs when learners master a fact or skill. For example, when students are able to spell a word correctly or until they achieve a high level of fluency or precision. They believe in the term " Practice Makes Perfect". On the other hand, precision teaching is also known as a method of planning a teaching program to meet or fulfill the need of an individual child or young person who is experiencing difficulty with gaining or maintaining  some skills. Moreover, it has an implanted monitoring function and is basically a means of appraising the effectiveness of what is being taught. When the learners have the interest in learning or doing something, the more the more they will learn and carry out the thing in future. 

2. Applied behavioral Analysis (ABA)-  Is the application of principals of  learning and motivation from Behavior Analysis, and the methods and technology obtained from those principals, to the quick fix of problems of social compelling. Besides that, ABA is mostly used in clinical settings  in order to change the behavior of the clients towards more normal or acceptable sequences For example, in schools and hospitals. Furthermore, ABA  also follows a prescribed procedure. 

      Besides that, after learning about the few respective ways of teaching, our lecturer conducted an activity. She told us sit separately and write all the information or ideas on the "School of Thoughts" that we have learned in the previous classes and still able to remember. This is activity was conducted in order for our lecturer and ourselves as well to know our level of understandings on the 3 respective "Schools of Thought" which are the Cognitive, Humanistic and Behavioral School of Thought. We were given 30 minutes time to write all the information and after that, we were told to present those information in front of the classroom. The entire activity was fun and interesting and at the same time, it was helpful for us because we are able to recall or brainstorm all the important aspects that we have learned in the three Schools of thought. This activity will definitely help us to improve our level of understandings on the Schools of Thought in future. 

      This is all we have learned in this week class. I guess that is all from me for now. Please do continue to give your feedback and thanks for viewing my blog. Hope to be back with a new topic next week. Take care and have a nice day.

The Respective Ways of Teaching Advocated by Behaviorists

      Hi everyone. I am back again after a week. Today, I am here to share about what my friends and I managed to learn in this week Pedagogy In Education class.

      In today's Pedagogy In education class, we managed to learn a few respective ways of teaching
advocated by behaviorists. The respective following ways are as follows:

1. Programmed Instruction  (PI)- Involves an organizing material to be learned or practiced into smaller parts called "Frames". Learners respond to a question or problems (stimulus) in each frame. If their response is correct, they receive positive reinforcement and the next frame is presented. Meanwhile, when learners respond incorrectly, they may be asked to repeat or to be given more information to help them produce a correct response. Learners utilizing programmed instructions typically work at their own pace.

2. Computer-Assisted Instructions (CAI)- Refers to the use of computers to present programmed instructions or to otherwise assist learners with specific leaning tasks  and at the same time, enables learners to engage in lots of drill and practice.  For example, certain computer software programs encourage to make up stories and illustrate them as well. For example, StoryVisualizer software.

3. Mastery Learning-  A theory that allows students or learners to learn academic material at their own pace. In practice, all the students in the classroom might be expected to reach a certain level of proficiency, For example 80% correct answers on a geography test. Those who fail to reach the criterion level may receive additional time and correct instructions until they obtain their score, THE MAIN objective of this theory is to give immediate and extra help to the low and slow achievers so that they can increase their level up to the high or fast achievers that are engage in enrichment work on the same or similar topic. If The students have the interest to learn a specific topic, they will definitely will master that particular topic that they have learned.

This is all we have learned in this week pedagogy class. Please continue to give your feedback from time to time. Thank you. I will be back next week for with another new content.

The Behavioral School of Thought

Hi everyone,  I here again to share about the the lesson that I have learned in this week "Pedagogy In Education" class which is about " The Behavioral School Of Thought" and " Classroom Management".



      Based on what I have learned, The Behavioral School of Thought is defined as theory that helps us to understand the reason why we behave as we do. Besides that, this particular theory help us to find out our interest in identifying how external, environmental, stimuli cause overt or observable learner behavior and how modifying a learner's environment can change behavior.


      Besides that, I also learned about the term "Contiguity" which means the sequential occurrence or proximity of stimulus and response, causing their association in the mind. It also refers to the simple stimulus-response (S-R) pairing, associations, or connections, such as lightning and thunder, which occur closely together.

      In addition to this topic, I also learned about the term " Classical Conditioning" which means the learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired or a response that is first elicited by the second stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone. This particular theory was introduced by Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist.

     Furthermore, I also learned about " Operant Conditioning", which is a type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences. Key concepts in operant conditioning are positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment and negative punishment. A learner does something correctly or appropriate and consequently receives a reward.

      I also managed to learn about " Social learning" which is also known as " Observational learning". Social learning theory that is introduced by Bandura posits that learning is a cognitive process that take place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement. In addition to this topic, learning process also can occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments which is process that known as Vicarious Reinforcement.

      On the other hands, when it comes to classroom management, it all about managing a classroom effectively by using effective and relevant methods or techniques.In terms of education context, classroom management is the term that is frequently used by teachers to illustrate the process of assuring that classroom lessons occurs smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students.This term also entails the prevention of disruptive behavior of students in future.

      I think I will end here. This is all from me. Thanks for viewing by blog and giving feedback from time to time. I will be back for a new topic next week. Thank you.
