3. EXPERIETIAL LEARNING
B. What are needed before a child can benefit fully from an experience?
Now more than ever, it is crucial that schools integrate new learning
techniques to help prepare children for the future workplace. Rote and didactic
learning styles have dominated the education system since the industrial
revolution. With both these methods, the child plays a relatively passive role in
the learning process. In more recent times, it has become common practice for
teachers to integrate more active learning techniques in the classroom such as
experiential learning.
5. Allow time.
Make sure students have time to stop and think about why and how they
learned, not just what. Give them five minutes at the end of a lesson to record
their reflections.
7. Write it down.
Have students record their reflections and date them, so that you (and they)
can see the process of their thinking. Use a journal, a class blog or post-it
notes that can be quickly collected and pasted somewhere.
10. Model.
Talk about your own learning. Tell them what you learned and how you learned
it. Talk about how your thinking has changed and how your skills have
developed. Learning is continuous…
4. COOPERATIVE LEARNING
The values are developed and enhanced by the method of teaching are:
dignity, truthfulness, fairness and responsibility & freedom.
All teaching is founded on ethics – whether it be the teacher-student relationship,
pluralism or a teacher’s relationship with their work.
Truthfulness is one of the core values in teachers’ basic task, which involves
steering learners in navigating life and their environment. Honesty with oneself
and others and mutual respect in all communication is a basic aspect of
teachers’ work.
