Out of class, I give the students an assignment that he will do it as individual then interchange his solution of assignment with his colleagues in his team, then each one review and compare his work with others colleagues in his team and discuss together to prepare the best answer and write it correctly, then they introduce it in my office our to see it and write my comment on their solutions then each one keep a copy of commented assignment.

    As previously mentioned, the students would typically finish their work promptly after the lesson and then hand it to their teacher for quick revision. The students who completed the assignment in a satisfactory manner would get to help aid their classmates who might have been having trouble with their own worksheet. This was fascinating to see, and it is a good example of the use of cooperative learning in the classroom, “cooperative learning arrangements among groups of learners with differing levels of ability,” (Slavin 115). In a classroom that is integrated, like this one, I think it is important to utilize cooperative learning when there is such a wide range of ability and only one

  • Education Course Reflection

    Looking back over the course of the semester, I feel that I learned many new and interesting uses for technology within the classroom – both for classrooms that have a lot of technology and for classrooms that are limited with technology. For the majority of the class, we utilized William Kists’ book The Socially Networked Classroom: Teaching in the New Media Age (2010), which provided multiple modes of instruction that both utilized and/or created technology. One of the first things that I remember, and consequently that stuck with me through the course’s entirety, is that individuals must treat everything as a text. Even a garden is a text. The statement made me change the way that I traditionally viewed Language Arts both as a student and as a teacher, as I very narrowly saw literature and works of the like as texts only; however, by considering nearly anything as a text, one can analyze, study, and even expand his/her knowledge. Kist (2010) states that society is “experiencing a vast transformation of the way we “read” and “write,” and a broadening of the way we conceptualize “literacy” (p. 2). In order to begin to experience and learn with the modern classroom and technologically advanced students, individuals must begin to see new things as literature and analyze those things in a similar manner.

  • What Is Formative Assessment?

    1297 Words  | 3 Pages

    This assessment would take up about 30-40 minute class period. I would put my student into groups of three, using a random group generator. The smaller group will allow them to work more closely with one another and there are not as many students giving feedback at once. My assessment would have six problems, a mix of mathematical problems and vocabulary or content based questions, the assessment can be found in the Appendix. How this would work is I would have the first person who was on the list start. I would give the groups five minutes to work on that problem. The first person would start the problem. For example, if it was a word problem, they would provide the first step to solving the problem, then hand it to their next partner, the next student would then add to the problem, this would keep going until the problem was solved. If at any point one of the students believes there was a mistake, they would then discuss as a group and fix the problem. If it were a content or vocabulary problem, they would add to the answer and modify it, much like if it was a word

    In most of our lives, we learn from those who can teach. Experienced elders or specialists teach us how to live, conduct ourselves, relate to one another and survive in different environments. My first day in USIU I was handed a student handbook which had all the rules and information about the university. That handbook was written with a purpose which was to instruct and advice. The purpose of instructions from this type of writing is to explain to readers about something or what they should do.

    Written logs. For each class you can keep a weekly reflection log or diary. It would be better if the students keep logs, too. At least, one a week spend the last ten minutes of class filling them out. Ask yourself what are your weekly success. Did you make progress in your effort to listen more attentively to students' responses? If you would have to teach the same lesson for the parallel group for the second time you would use the same techniques or you made some changes? Going back periodically and reading your logs will be effective. By using these methods you will learn a lot about yourself. Reading what your students say is equally important.

    The application of collaborative learning strategies is a process in which two or more students work together. Collaborative strategies will be used in planning, translating and reviewing the education process to form student learning through group-oriented activities. This source will also be useful in lesson planning to help explain how collaborative learning strategies in the classroom will help students in the learning process improve by interaction; how positive interdependence of collaborative learning leads to common responsibility; how collaborative learning builds students’ self-esteem, and confidence in students.
