Lesson 7: Direct, PURPOSEFUL Experiences and Beyond

From the rich experiences that our senses bring, we construct the idea, the concepts,the generalizations that give meaning and order to our lives....
I learn that in direct purposeful experiences and beyond, this are the firsthand experiences that make up the foundation of our learning. It will imply to the teaching-learning process through letting the student in learning by doing that they will become curious on that thing and also on the help of that it will develop their 5 senses the sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The ex. making a piece of furniture and etc....
                                         

Lesson 8: Teaching with Contrived Experiences

Contrived experiences are those which are designed and arranged closely resembling direct experiences. It is not always possible to let a student have a direct experience of all things; some contrivances such as laboratory experiments, working models, etc. are very useful. Contrary to belief, contrived experiences are usually better than direct experiences. This is because models are made less complex, see-through as also easier and safer to operate.

Examples:

·         Drama and role-playing

·         Demonstrations

·         Field Trips

·         Exhibits and Models

·         Motion Pictured and Video

·         Visual Symbols

·         Verbal Symbols

Lesson 6: Using and Evaluating Instructional Materials

 

You should have a good idea of your destination,both in the over-all purpose of education and in the everyday work of your teaching,If you do not know where you are going,you cannot properly choose a way to get there.

The use of instructional materials can be of great help to the teacher to become effective in facilitating learning. As a teacher, I should adopt the guidelines provided by the experts in the selection of instructional materials and in their use. Likewise I should try to avoid the R.O.G. Syndrome (running out of gas) especially if the materials to be used are mechanical ones, hence it is a wise move to try out the materials ahead of the class schedule to avoid unwanted situations. If careful planning is employed, the use of instructional materials can be an effective partner in attaining the teacher’s mission.

 

LESSON 5: The Cone of Experience

         The cone is a visual analogy,and like all analogies,it does not bear an exact and detailed relationship to the complex elements it represents.- Edgar Dale

         I learn  in the cone of experience that these are the strategies in teaching but the teacher should balanced in using these  abstract and concrete so that the learners can understand because their are some student can 

understand the lessons when their is a  visual aids or enumeration.......

Lesson 4:Systematic Approach to Teaching

"A plan that emphasizes the parts may the cost of failing to consider the whole, and a plan that whole must pay the cost of failing to get down to the real depth with respect to the parts"- C. West Churchman

I learn that the systematic approach to instruction is simple in theory but far from being simplistic in practice,we as the future teacher we  should make a strategies to develop the learning or the skills of the student.Our input is our lesson plan,we put their our daily activity in our class and  the teaching method or the strategies.,...

LESSON 3: THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONASL TECHNOLOGY

Educational technology has a two types of point of view the traditional and contructivist. the traditional is a technology as teacher the example them is a video presentation on the tourist spots in the country and the contructivist is the technology as the partner in learning and the example them is the setting up on experiment shown through video presentation and requiring the student to predict the outcome of the experiment.

Technology is very useful specially in the classrooms from teacher-dominated environments wants that are more learner-centered..........

LESSON 2: Technology: Boon or Bane?

Technology is a gift for us.....because through technology we can easily communicate to our love one's and friends..and with technology,there is a lot that we can do which we could not do then......also we can easily do to our assignment.....
 For me...technology,,, there is a advantage and disadvantage...in advantage that the learners get glued to his computer for computer assisted instruction unmindful of the world and so fails develop the ability to relate to others....
and the disadvantage is if we abuse  and misuse it and so contribute to our ruin and downfall.......It depends on us how we use technology.Technology contributes much to the improvement of the teaching learning and to the humanization of life.......... :)
