    Smart praise for students: how we commend undergraduates affects not only their attitudes but also their performance, by James M. Lang, explains a study that Carol Dweck and Claudia Mueller did to observe the effects of two different types of praise. The study was done on 100 fifth graders. To begin all the students were given 10 math problems and told to solve them. Once they were all solved the teacher gave some students “effort praise” and other students “ability praise.” Effort praise is when somebody is praised for working really hard on a task, while ability praise is given in by commending somebody for their natural intelligence in order to accomplish a task.…

    Of the six teaching philosophies (Kanuka, 2008), I would promote progressive teaching. My homeschool focuses on the mindset of giving children learning opportunities in education. Ours is a school that believes in sound instructional design, current teaching philosophies, and up-to-date technology.

    Metacognition Metacognition is a view of learning that many refer to as “thinking about thinking” when in reality it has a much deeper meaning than this simple summary. Metacognition is a process where an individual becomes aware of what they are learning and continually review their progress towards a goal (Livingston, Jennifer A. 1997). An example of this would be, if someone was doing advanced university math [Math 1000] and they are faced with a multiple page question the average student would follow steps they feel appropriate throughout the question whereas the professor would more than likely check their strategy throughout to avoid running into an incorrect solution. Part of metacognition is the ability to monitor if the steps being taken to reach a learning goal are correct or areas of which different strategies will need to be used.…

Section two includes a plan for individual improvement to be implemented throughout the remainder of the school year and includes improvement goals and actions necessary to meet those goals as well a plan for evaluating results of those actions.…

    Effective AfL gives pupils opportunities to make improvements and learn more after receiving feedback (Hodgson & Pyle, 2010 and Smith, 2011). Ofsted (1998), reported that many teachers give feedback but do not allow pupils time to act on it. If students do not act on feedback, it is not actually formative (Sadler, 1989 and Gioka, 2006). Hattie (2009) and Melmer et al (2008), argues that teachers receiving feedback on pupils understanding and learning, which is used to adjust ongoing teaching is more important than simply providing pupils with feedback, as previously suggested by Black & William (1998).…

    Having worked in Northern Adelaide schools for ten years, the complexities and constant challenges of these environments are pivotal elements of my daily teaching life. Teaching in an educational setting which is categorised as ‘disadvantaged’ – high indigenous population, low socioeconomic area, high percentage of English-as-a-second-language learners (McInerney, 2009 p24; White, 1996 cited in McInerney, 2009 p25) – requires constant flexibility and adaptation. To better support this flexibility, I am transitioning my pedagogy to a student-negotiated, inquiry-based approach; an approach that I believe is vital for students in disadvantaged settings if they are to understand and oppose ‘oppressive economic and social structures’ (McInerney…
