Reflection: Positives To Teach In The Classroom

Improved Essays
My first video filmed is very raw. While there are some positives to my first video I also have many negatives in which I can improve upon. To start with some positives I believe my voice projection was strong throughout the entire video. It is very important as an up and coming physical education teacher that I am loud and work on properly projecting my voice appropriate to the environment I am in. An example of a situation in which voice projection is key would be during an outdoor education lesson. If my class is outside snowshoeing on a windy winter day, I will need to be very loud with my instructions as it would be much harder to hear than in a classroom. Another positive in my video would be the interaction and feedback with each student. …show more content…
In terms of body position, each student did not properly align the body and shoulders to their target. It was a simple fix, and a reminder is all that was needed. However, if a student was to struggle with this concept I could have broken this down more with demonstrations and more in depth instructions to help the student gain a better understanding. The first clear cut negative is very similar to my micro teaching in terms of teaching more to a sport than a skill. While I use terms like sending and throwing it is clear I am only talking about throwing the football. I only mention the ability to transfer these sending skills once and for a matter of only 7 seconds. It is important for my future as a teacher that I move past teaching for a sport and really focus on the skills and how they can transfer to everyday movements. This can be accomplished with time and knowledge. As I develop as a teacher the more I will learn on how to create a proper lesson plan that works on incorporating transferable skills. The next negative in my video would be the lack of exercises and build up to the final …show more content…
I can see room for improvement but can also see hope in the future as a physical education teacher. Throughout the two videos, I speak with a loud voice. However, I tend to speak very monotone and lack enthusiasm. I am certain that with more practice teaching and improved confidence in myself I will be able step outside my comfort zone I will find a loud, clear, and passionate voice. I made it a point to direct my speaking to the students and not the camera in each video. I stated my introductions in each video to the camera and after that it was just me and the student(s) face to face. This allows me to engage with my students, observe, and make sure each student has a firm understanding of the concepts being taught. In the first video I lacked activities to work on performance cues as I worked up the progression. Twice during the second video I was able to break down the performance cues and implement a basic activity to help the student gain a better understanding of the movement. Being able to move past a sport and onto a skill is another big jump for me, as I implemented a variety of balls and explained situations in which the skill would be unique to each ball. This is important as I develop as a teacher because understanding the concept such as receiving and being able to transfer it into a variety of sports will help the students pick up sports much easier. One thing I noticed throughout both

    Ulises Gonzalez 2nd Self-Critique In general, I felt the presentation went well, but after reviewing the video, there are a number of areas I need to improve. First of all, I started well because I presented myself to the audience, I did not have my hands in my pockets, and I was not playing around with my hands, so the first part went really well in general. The presentation was well explained, but it could have been more developed and interesting. The organization was well structured since it addressed everything it was supposed to, but it could have been better because the presentation used the ideas of the paper, and I did not implement new ones.…

    The students are working on using the proper form for these skills to prevent injury and build strength properly. The students are assessing each other for the critical elements which relates to movement patterns because they are looking for ways to correct their peers movements. Once they are able to understand what the correct movement pattern should look like for bench pressing and deadlifting, it can help them in their own movement. Once the students are able to display 3 out of the 4 critical elements for the two skills I know that they have developed the competence in the psychomotor objective. The affective objective for lesson two is the students will discuss with their partners the critical elements they are not displaying.…

    The first thing I noticed in my video is that I say “umm” way too often. The first time I said, “umm” in my speech was at 0:10 and continued to say it throughout my whole entire speech. I found it quite annoying when listening to myself. It is my go to word when I am nervous and it is something I really need to work on. The second thing I noticed is that I don’t look professional when giving my speech because instead of standing up straight and tall, I lean to the side and kind of stick my hip out.…

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…
