Teaching Style
Teaching Style
To place you in context. As we all know, the human being has 5 senses and these senses are the information input in various forms. The intensity of the data or the stimuli collected by these senses, determines the residual effect or impregnation (souvenirs, memories…) in the brain. For example: You just have to think about the best souvenir you have of a favorite teacher and ask yourself why? you remember the particular situations. All answers regardless of the individual will indicate a strong feeling attached to the souvenir. That teacher has found a way of captivating is students in a positive way therefore creating bridges to the mind and openness to what is yet to come. Their curiosity has been stung!!! This phenomenon is a key factor in teaching and it can be attained in different ways, your creativity is limitless. Especially in tech studies, we can provide concrete objectives to create open minds and stimulate motivation in our students. The method or strategy you use to present a project to the students will make the whole difference in their implication and motivation. Example: Start with showing the end result of what they will produce. Take out a project, put it on the table and show them. Seize a moment of discussion and questions about it. This is the critical moment where you create your open minds and motivation in the students! You are putting in place the building blocks for success and engagement. Finally, I get to the main question which is my teaching style. It is mainly based on the concept presented to you. I use guided practices, demonstrations that implicate students directly by stimulating the strongest senses (visual and touch). All of this is accompanied by constant personalized feedback in all steps of project realization. Students build self esteem and confidence in their tasks. They grow emotionally stronger and kinaesthetically better. This also gives them a sense of accomplishment and the drive to keep on going.
