New Learning

Introduction Cooperative learning is the concept of grouping and pairing students to achieve academic goals, but it is much more than that. To first understand what cooperative learning is, it must be understood by what it is as well as what it is not. True cooperative learning is not only pairing and sharing. It is the collaboration of all members of a group that fosters a better understanding of materials and/or skills by each member of the pair or group. In other words, it is not just…

in many different ways, but it also benefits the people that volunteer. Volunteering can be exceedingly beneficial to someone who is volunteering by teaching them new skills that they did not know they would ever develop. In the article, “The Benefits of Volunteering,” Rita Altman says, “Volunteering can open the door to new learning opportunities that you may…

Reflection text. When I applied for the English course, I did not really know what to expect. Sure, I knew it would be a lot of work to do, a lot of thoughts to think, and many new things to learn. However, I find the course interesting, and I have learned so much already. One of the main things that made me want to participate in the course is that I want to be a better English teacher. During this course, I got different kinds of inputs, and I find all of them interesting. Some of them made…

“Learning is what you do when you don’t know what to do”, (Claxton, 1999, as cited in Fraser, 2012, p.22). However, as anybody knows, learning is not linear, nor do two people learn at the same pace in the same way and their learning never ends. That includes teachers. We bring our own life experiences to the classroom, involving philosophies about teaching alongside the theoretical beliefs. These beliefs have implications on how teachers view their role in the classroom, how they manage their…

I can extend learning for all children. To do this, I will gather evidence such as observations, surveys, communication with parents and educators and so on, to assist me in what areas that needs to be strengthened (Arthur et. al, 2015). I will analyse the evidence to make judgments about the current program and to make future recommendations to improve the program. I will engage in reflective practices after I gathered information. This will inform me to enhance children’s learning and…

learner-centered principles because it addresses the needs of new teachers based on the survey taken. The new teachers on my campus expressed that they need more help with classroom management skills to keep their classroom flowing smoothly and increase student achievement. My plan allows them to practice existing classroom management techniques, and develop news management ideas with their peers and veteran teachers, plus allow them to practice those new skills in a controlled environment.…

that appeals to their unique learning ability. It is also the teacher’s responsibility to guide the students in such a way that they can successfully explore concepts with one another, in other words collaborate with one another. During my time observing a first grade classroom at Model Laboratory School, I was able to witness successful student collaboration facilitated by the teacher. In the classroom in which I was…

intelligence or talent, and the suggestion that such traits are inherent, or innate. Which in conclusion have these kids vulnerable to failure, fear of new complex obstacles, which lead them to unmotivated to learn. Teaching students that having a growth mindset is actually more effective, which encourages a strong influence on the effect of process on learning rather than focusing on what is the outcome of the students who have talent. To later assemble students who want to have…

Learning is a process in which we use our experiences to handle different situations. Learning is when we gather information and storing it in our memory for convenient use. Like for example, every time we use our smart phones to check NBA scores, weather forecast, daily news, and etc., we are taking basic steps in the learning process. This class has taught me the real meaning of learning. I have learned that learning involves taking in the world around you and connecting to what you are…

from the article gained new insights on ways to succeed in this course. My current study habits at the moment aren’t the greatest. At times I only study an hour for each of the four classes I take and sometimes I study with my kids which causes me not to focus as much as I should. My biggest issues when studying is trying to learn every bold vocabulary word because I feel like that’s going to teach me all about the material when I should be focusing on the material I’m learning. Some of the…
