Methods used in my classrooms...

In my classroom i used different kind of methods...
like..
some time start my lecture straight away with introduction to the topic.
TCL.

group activity.
debate.
discussion.
project and market survey.
some motivational videos.
some powerpoint presentations.
games and story telling.
chart making and presentation of that chart.
peer learnings.
workbooks and assessments also.
guest and success full students lectures.
SCL

Objectives of using this different kind of methods in my classroom are..
to give students a good knowledge.
give courage and motivation and self confidence to live in the society.
engage learners more in the classroom.
make participation more effective.
remove stage fear and facing the real life challenges.
provide some concrete skills so they can earn themselves.
to find their own ways of success and find solutions to their problems..


bring out their hidden potential and creativity.

I use this all methods because all learners are not on same ground and same back ground.
we have to keep all learners on the same pitch.
so if we try this kind of different methods in our classrooms all can take positive points which they want.
we have to teach that leaning is a life long process and journey..

students responds in the staring is not well.
but after two or three days they find interesting and after they participate and involve very well.
some learners are very fast and creative.
some are leaders and some are shy.
but i try to make them learn by peer learning.
they can learn themselves and helps others to learn..
it encourages and motivates us also..

and in the end its all about Relationship...

I give u three links of different kind of student centred learning.
one video is same like rowdy video.
where old method of teaching is been applied for students teaching.
and after realization the teacher changes his method of teaching like student centred leaning.

In the second link its all about student driven lessons and projects.
in this video i saw that planning in the right way is very important and then give students voice and choice in the progress.
introduction to the topic is also very important for student centred learning.
let the student seek the answers independently.
let them find them own answers.
make time for reflection and revision.
most imp is discussion with peers.
last but not the least have students track their own progress.

And in the last link its all about future learning with technology.
when u see the video u find lots of interesting things how we can use tech with students centred leaning....

Introduction to SCALS

Facilitation style is an outcome of a few things. 

• 1.     An understanding of the student needs with respect to their age, interests, social background, etc.;
• 2.     Our experiences of being a learner and social background, as facilitators;
• 3.     Insights about one’s own belief systems and values and its linkage to the aspirations;

It is the combination of all the above-mentioned factors that makes up the teaching philosophy. 

What lies under all these exercises?  Why are we focusing on understanding these aspects of facilitation?

One can believe that the common thread that lies beneath all these is the will to help a learner become better than before; an attempt to create a learning environment that is open to allow individual learners to find one’s own space, learn the skills to become competent and face the real world situations effectively.

At the same time there is an urge to become a better facilitator; identify means through which each of us could develop further and scale newer heights in terms of facilitation practice.

To take facilitation to the next step, we are going to be focusing on some hands on strategies of putting student centered learning to practice.   This module is called Student Centered Active Learning Strategies or SCALS in short.  We will be focusing on what it means to be student centered in terms of classroom interaction as well as planning of our sessions.  We will understand facilitation as a continuum between teacher-centered learning and student-centered learning.   There will be activities created around strategies that will help us implement student centered learning in our classrooms and create a lesson plan that will demonstrate the understanding of the same.

To summarise some of the key activities you would engage in –

1. a)    Understand the TCL-SCL continuum
2. b)   Get deeper understanding of SCL as a methodology
3. c)    Learn and use a few of the strategies that are based on Student Centered Learning
4. d)   Demonstrate a student centered class through a small video
5. e)    Get a larger picture of what blended learning is and how you can use it in your own way

We hope that this module will help you gather some tangible tools that can be used with your students.

Good luck with the module.
