Learning in school 2
" in learning there are also several things that need to be considered when choosing the learning method used in the teaching process, teachers should be able to :
understand the material you want to explain
By knowing the material conveyed in depth, the teacher can know the type of learning method that is considered most appropriate to explain the material. To increase creativity, also learn the learning methods used by others for similar material.
Determining learning objectives, Knowing the learning objectives is the main thing to be able to know the right learning methods. Is the purpose of learning only limited so that students can master certain materials? Or there are other goals such as the mastery of certain soft skills that are expected to emerge through teaching and learning activities.
Understanding the characteristics of students, Knowing the characteristics of students is one of the responsibilities of every educator. Knowing their advantages and disadvantages can help determine the approach to take while teaching. Some information is also needed such as knowing the interests and talents of students, dominant intelligence, appropriate learning styles, or how motivated students learn.
The good news, Quipper Campus has Potential Test Tests that can be done online. Through the results of the test, teachers can get preliminary information about the characteristics of their students.
Choose alternative learning methods that are appropriate to the material and dominant characteristics
Each student has different characteristics. If you know the dominant characteristics that exist, at least the teacher can apply the learning methods that are expected to be accepted by more students. Even so, the teacher still should not ignore other students, so it is still necessary to think about alternative learning methods to be able to accommodate the needs of all students.
In one meeting, apply several learning methods Referring to the previous point, it could be in one teaching and learning activity, teachers can directly combine several learning methods at once. For example, after giving a general overview of a material (the lecture method), then giving a demonstration (the demonstration method), and students are asked to experiment independently at home (the experimental method).
Paying attention to student responses, When giving teaching, teachers are required to be sensitive to student responses. Note, whether students can follow the learning well or vice versa. The students' disregard for the teacher's explanation is an early reflection that the delivery of the material is not able to attract their attention. Therefore, try to apply a different type of learning method than before.
To determine whether the learning objectives have been achieved or not, the teacher needs to provide an evaluation or assessment. From here it will be known whether teaching and learning activities have been effective or not.
Thus an overview of understanding, types, and tips on choosing the right learning method. If the teacher has understood these things and applied them well, then the atmosphere that is built in the classroom will be fun and the material can be delivered effectively.
Generally, teachers teach because they enjoy teaching. One of the keys to effective learning is that teachers are able to convey knowledge clearly and with enthusiasm. In these abilities at once contained the secret to becoming a truly great teacher. Being a successful teacher depends a lot on the ability of the teacher to create a harmonious relationship with the students. Such relationships will increase the likelihood that students will notice and understand the teacher's message.
Asking the Important Question, What is the learning purpose of the lesson? Remember, there is one important question for each lesson and students should be able to answer this question at the end of the lesson.
Activating Students, This strategy is to try to make students actively think or feel connected to the material given on that day. Connect the learning to the subject matter or to the outside world to find out how many things the student already knows or remembers.
Using Relevant Vocabulary, Relevant Vocabulary must be presented in the lesson. Keep the vocabulary limited to words that students can understand. Make sure that the words are used actively in their context throughout the lesson. Ask students to use the words interactively during the lesson.
Limiting the Time of Material Delivery, Supposedly, the time of delivery of learning material is limited. After 12–15 minutes of teaching, teachers should start engaging students in some type of activity, even if only for a few minutes.
Using Concept Maps, the use of concept maps allows students to visually categorize new information or review old information. When students see information that is neatly organized, it will be easier for them to store and remember the information.
Make Students Move, Students must be made to move. Students should move for a while in learning to ensure that they are actively involved.
Asking Questions that Promote Higher Level Thinking Skills (Higher Order Thinking Skills), Ask students, at least, three questions that ignite high level thinking skills during learning. That question will prove that the teacher provides a task that challenges the abilities of all students.
Make a summary, Make a summary at the end of the lesson. At that time, teachers can know students' understanding of learning by having students answer core questions effectively. In that way, it can be known whether the teacher needs to expand or improve student understanding of the lesson in question.
Terrifying Learning Carefully, Lessons should be given carefully. That is, the activities given must be challenging and progressing rapidly. Instead, do not give the opportunity for students to get bored or get time without activities. The whole lesson should be active learning.
Student-oriented, All learning should be student-centered. The way teachers teach students must show that students are the focus of the teacher. Everything teachers do is centered on student success. The use of technology as a tool is an important component in this student-centered learning. The introduction of technology to students will provide 21st century skills that are both exciting and relevant to real-life applications. Learning is a partnership: If teachers plan it effectively and successfully, students will perform their tasks and learn effectively and successfully.
Students involved in their assignments will work harder to complete their assignments and work at their best. The result is smarter students, higher test scores, and happier teachers" the education minister said
