week 6

Week 6 (16-19)

Learning styles of my students

My accomplishments

I taught two lessons this week about analogy and primary & secondary sources. It’s an accomplishment that my students learned I facilitated three sections in taking their summative test. I also helped my critic teacher in facilitating the final task our students on their travelogue.

My experiences

Having the experience of teaching 3 sections with one strategy helps me a lot. I therefore conclude that in every section I must vary my strategy based on their learning styles. I’m happy that in one of my class they are son active and excited because of the game I prepared. They had a debate on the material that they are going to identify. It’s not my plan to have a debate in my class but there are lot of ideas came out form them that’s why I let them express their unique ideas. I am so happy that some of them understand my lesson. In my 2^nd and 3^rd class the strategy did not work well because I need to explain more and give more examples for them to understand the lesson well.

My insight

Knowing the learning styles of my students gives me ideas on how to prepare activities that is suited to them. I will prepare the enrichment activities in a form of games. I will give more examples that is related to their daily life experience.

My problem

I had a problem in settling my students some of them are standing, chatting with their friends, and doing something that’s not related on our subject matter.

Solution

In order for my students to settle down what I did was I waited for some students to keep quiet. After getting their attention, I instructed them on their summative test.

Goal for next week

My goal is to vary my strategy based on their ability and capability.
