3RD REFLECTION!!
Hi there !!!! Welcome back to My blog..I am back again to talk about education and educators.. Naaahhh .. To me this week is a relaxing week because most of my class was cancelled due to certain reasons. This week My pedagogy class was also postponed to Wednesday.. So yea.. I was sleeping more.. hahahahaha.. Sleeping actually reduces stress... "Perception Only"
We started our pedagogy class late and we were actually making some funs and jokes as students. That was the time that I realized what friends are for.. We were having some fun talking,chit chats and yea of course selfies.. I am really thankful for having such friends like them..
Ok!! Without further delay lets talk about what we learned this week.. It is about the bumps to student-centered approach which Dr. Ng asked us to read before the class. In my point of view student centered approach in classroom could actually be a really good method of teaching and learning. For an example, even in Dr.Ng's class she always gives the opportunity to speak out more during class.. She always have open discussion and used to give us the freedom to tell our ideas and opinion during the class.
* Try to control the duration of activities of learning ,like 5 to 10 minutes, and continue to follow up with the syllabus.
* But there no need to shorten the syllabus.Instead of saying and explaining every word from the book ,teachers could also teach through writing or visualizing statement so that students will be able to understand them easily.
* Try to occupy the time given and manage it by also giving the students some work before the class so that they are prepared about the activity and that will also save time.
* Try to have 3 to 5 minutes break for students to cool down and have chit chat with their friends in class .So the students will not make noise when the class is going on.From that ,the students will have focus in class and can control them easily if got any arguing about what you’re trying to get them learn.
* If students make noise in group discussion, I believe this is not a big problem because from there a teacher will be able to see the progress of learning and character level.Then,you can control them by telling them in proper way,so they also will listen and can go on the class as usual.
* Don’t make the class so boring by lecturing all the way but also to give them small exercises and questions to help them brainstorm on what they have learn.. By this, the students are being forced indirectly to concentrate while the discussion or the lecturing since it is a individual job.
* The lecture need to get to know about students characters well,so when the group work is assigned,they passed up teachers need to ask each n everyone in the group several question similar with the assignment that is given to them,if there don’t know to answer means
* Another way is ,tell everyone that marks will given with all your team work ,if a person did not work as team but still you all cover him/her marks for all group member will be zero.
I found this and I believe that every human being should have more rest time in order to keep themselves healthy..

The article basically talks about the 8 stages students will experience for adapting student-centered education and 11 problems from educators and some are also included with the solution.
THIS WEEK TASK IS ABOUT SELECTING 4 PROBLEMS THAT EDUCATORS FACE AND 2 METHODS FOR EACH OF THE PROBLEMS :
PROBLEM 1 : Never get through the syllabus within the time given.
* Try to control the duration of activities of learning ,like 5 to 10 minutes, and continue to follow up with the syllabus.
* But there no need to shorten the syllabus.Instead of saying and explaining every word from the book ,teachers could also teach through writing or visualizing statement so that students will be able to understand them easily.
* Try to occupy the time given and manage it by also giving the students some work before the class so that they are prepared about the activity and that will also save time.
PROBLEM 2 : If I don’t lecture I’ll lose control of the class
* Try to have 3 to 5 minutes break for students to cool down and have chit chat with their friends in class .So the students will not make noise when the class is going on.From that ,the students will have focus in class and can control them easily if got any arguing about what you’re trying to get them learn.
* If students make noise in group discussion, I believe this is not a big problem because from there a teacher will be able to see the progress of learning and character level.Then,you can control them by telling them in proper way,so they also will listen and can go on the class as usual.
* Don’t make the class so boring by lecturing all the way but also to give them small exercises and questions to help them brainstorm on what they have learn.. By this, the students are being forced indirectly to concentrate while the discussion or the lecturing since it is a individual job.
PROBLEM 3 : Some students will "hitchhike," getting credit for work in which they did not actively participation during group projects
* Before giving the assignment ,tell the students that marks will also be given for the team work for assignment ,if one member never do anything ,the person will get zero for the assignment if the teacher gets to find it out. (warn them in advance)
PROBLEM 4 : Unable to understand the material independently
* Before giving them 100 pages to reading material ,try to give them short reading materials for them ,so they can learn slowly to read rather giving them straight a longer reading material for them be cracking their head and the students actually gets annoyed to read the materials
* Another way is get to know the students well ... By this we will know which students good in reading and poor in reading ,so try to coach up the poor in reading by giving them daily reading exercise to in prove with their reading. Give more importance to the students and let the other students to be independent.

* Give them more exercises on searching then providing them long materials to be read.. By this students will have to take the initiative to go through websites and find more information.
I think That's all from me for this week ...
