How Students Learn Best: An Analysis of Demonstrations, Labs, and Scenario-Based Teaching

The purpose of this study is to analyze how students learn best and to discover the methods in which they like to learn new information. Students often find learning in science classrooms difficult or uninteresting. My goal as a future science teacher is to stimulate students so that they are interested in learning the processes and findings of science. There are a myriad of ways that researchers and science teachers think that students can be engaged, such as demonstrations, labs, and scenario-based teaching. I would like to survey students, mainly freshmen in introductory classes, and ask them if they prefer to learn by demonstrations, labs, or scenario-based teaching. I am hoping this information will benefit me in my future classroom so that I may connect with as many of my students as possible and elevate students\u27 knowledge of science

Teaching and Learning in First Year Seminars

This Journal of Information Technology Education article compares the relative successes of three different teaching techniques in seminars for a first year university course. This paper tests to see if there is one overriding approach that enables all students to learn effectively in seminars or whether different students benefit from different teaching techniques. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

THE IMPLICATION OF BEHAVIOURISM THEORY IN TEACHING GRAMMAR FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

This paper attempts to discuss the implication of behaviorism theory in teaching grammar for elementary students. The behaviorism theory focused on the direct learning.Typical behavioristic models were Substitution Drills, Segmented Teaching, Modeling, Other behaviorist techniques. The elementary students are active and able to understand the meaning without understanding particular words. Teaching Grammar is not directly taught in the classroom, but the teacher integrates with vocabulary in statement, such as communicative question.We can conclude that in behaviorism theory can help to develop students to learn grammar in the foreign language, not by teaching grammar directly, but by imitating, repeatating also drilling

Motivating Weak Students: A Critical Discussion and Reflection

The motivation of students is regarded as one of the problems in the higher education. One of the reasons for the increasing number of students with low-level of motivation is that there are many students join universities without adequate level of preparation. consequently, because of complex material delivered to students and their low ability to learn quickly, the motivation of students to learn Computer Aided Design (CAD) and other software packages be decreased significantly during educational process. The means of multimedia can be used in teaching the technology to help in solving this problem. The basic idea of proposed approach is to use the video clips, multimedia applications in the teaching process. The basic material should be accessible by students at any time. In order to do this, the material mentioned above should be published in E-learn. These video clips will help students in doing some exercises on their own time and independently which they may miss and can be used by students at later times when they prepare their design work using CAD. The accessibility of material and its possibility to repeat it a lot of time may increase the level of student’s knowledge gained and have improved their motivation.

Cosmology and Science Education: Problems and Promises

Cosmology differs in some respects significantly from other sciences, primarily because of its intimate association with issues of a conceptual and philosophical nature. Because cosmology in the broader sense relates to the world views held by students, it provides a means for bridging the gap between the teaching of science and the teaching of humanistic subjects. Students should of course learn to distinguish between what is right and wrong about the science of the universe. No less importantly, they should learn to recognize the limits of science and that there are questions about nature that may forever remain unanswered. Cosmology, more than any other science, is well suited to illuminate issues of this kind.Comment: 37 page

The Image of Vocabulary

This research project was conducted among 96 sophomore students whom attended a suburban high school (made up of roughly 2,000 students). It is important to understand how students\u27 best learn vocabulary because it allows teachers to discuss new words most effectively. Purpose of this project is to maximize the potential for high school students to learn new vocabulary. The data that I collected showed that teaching students new vocabulary words with pictures made a substantial difference in the way they were able to recall the words\u27 definitions. The success rate of each word increases dramatically when context clues are added and increased further with the inclusion of pictures

THE ENGLISH TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS IN THE 5th GRADE CLASS OF SDN SANGGRAHAN JEBRES SURAKARTA

This final project is written based on the job training which has been done by the writer in SDN Sanggrahan, Jebres, Surakarta. The objectives of this final project are to describe the English teaching and learning process in the fifth grade students of SDN Sanggrahan and to find out the problems and solutions during the job training. The class activities consisted of four steps based on the lesson plan that was made before. They are warming up, explanation, the exercises and ending the lesson. In the exercises activities, there are four basics languange skills such as: listening, writing, speaking and reading. The writer found some problems during the job training such as: class management, students’ motivations, and language problems. The teacher should have an effective technique to handle the classes, motivate the students to learn English and teach using repetitive drills are needed to solve these problems. To improve the quality of English teaching and learning in SDN Sanggrahan, Jebres, Surakarta, it is suggested that the English teacher be responsible with her role effectively in teaching and learning process. She should build students’ motivation to learn English by giving new alternatives in teaching and learning. Besides, the school should provide more time for the English lesson. Therefore, the English teaching and learning process will be more attractive to the student

Teaching Students How to Learn Differently with Robotics

Students will participate in creating physical and tangible projects that are relevant to real world experiences – by designing and building experimental models that solve problems in a challenging and fun atmosphere. Specifically- students will construct a robot to perform certain duties [IN THEORY –TO GO INTO DANGEROUS PLACES] and then write a program for the robot using ROBOLAB software. Students will further design a replica of their robot using Interactive Physics

Educational Development and Strategic Planning

Teaching is an intervention which allows someone to learn as fully as they are able. Universities and colleges should provide students with the structures and support they need to learn, and recognise and minimise the barriers to learning which do not relate to a student‟s ability. We are still only part of the way along the journey of understanding what we need to provide our students with in order to enable them to learn best, what kinds of interventions can and should be made, what skills and attributes are needed by teachers and leaders in post compulsory education. Strategic planning in educational development is about finding out what should be done to improve our provision for students, and putting the resources and infrastructure in place to enable those changes to happen

INSERTING JAVANESE ACRONYMS FOR TEACHING GRAMMAR RULES: A Theoretical Assumption

Teaching grammar approaches have been applied one after another in the class for quite some time. However, the approaches may match to some students and may not to some others. The appropriateness and the effective usage of teaching grammar approaches can help students to facilitate the language process more comprehend (Thornbury.2006). Oxford (1989) states that there is a relationship between students‘ variables and the choice of Language Learning Strategies (LLSs). Students‘ variable likes students‘ background language can be used as a media to transfer the grammar. For example when Javanese students learn English grammar, then the strategy used can be linked with the Javanese way of thinking. In addition, there must be an appropriate strategy to bridge between the LLSs and the students‘ language background. Teaching grammar using acronyms is one of the ways to bridge between LLSs and Javanese in the class
