Get Your Students Hired
I have a better understanding of how to reach the diverse population of our students. The course provided some value concepts, strategies and insights. Many of our students come with language barriers. Many adult learners are afraid of academics but also social fear on how they will fit in. I learned that student frustration can be a retaliation tactic. Many of our learns wonder what their peers think of them.
By reviewing this module I have learned about how to understand students and their reasons for attending school and different reasons for why they might want to attend. Learning more about the students might help the instructor on alternating their teaching style and methods to accommodate the students learning abilities. I believe being hands on in the classroom and providing demonstrations and visuals to the students will help them understand the course materials.
Great information on learning where students have been and what their goals are to help you in guiding them through class. Also to keep an eye out for warning signs of things that may be inhibiting them in moving toward their goals.
What I received is how to deal with students when they find the learning difficult to receive and to offer them more understanding and support.
I learned how to deal with students when they are frustrated by remaining neutral in order to diffuse the situation and offer assistance. I also learned how to support adult learners regarding intrinsic and extrinsic needs.
It makes sense that teachers should pay attention to the psychology of there student. What are their characteristics, so you can match there learning ability more
It is important to establish a relationship with the students understanding their life experiences, limitations and their goals for the program. There is a wide range of ages and each have their own unique characteristics.
In order to have an effective teaching and foster a supportive learning environment is veru important to understand student's characteristics. It is crutial ot observe behaviors and pay attention to how students interact in class with peers and instructor. Building a trusting relationship is also important as it can provide insights into their personalities, challanges and motivations.
I've learned (or been reminded rather) that learning about my students as soon as possible can help address frustrations, fears, obstacles, and set them up for success in my classes.
I'm also considering what it means to teach class over just a case. I'm a new educator, so while I'm observing, taking notes, and trying to absorb it all before I teach my first class on my own, I can't help but feel like there is so much I'm not grasping and will miss until it's too late to help my students. I don't want MY fear of failure to get in their way either.
I would say empathize but don't sympathize. Understand the student's needs, complaints, etc. but don't waste too much time on getting absorbed in the problem too much. Also understand how the different age groups differ in learning styles and perspectives.
I believe looking at the classroom through the eyes of your students is key, especially when they are adult learners of varying ages and backgrounds. Being able to adapt activities to these different learners is something I want to continue to improve upon.
I am realizing that "coddling" these students actually does more harm than good. It also increases the instructor's stress and anxiety levels. This semester I will employ an alternative method of enforcing the rules set forth by the institution.
In this course, it was brought to my attention that students in these programs (traditional and non-traditional) have the tendency to face multiple stressors and challenges, concurrently. In order to provide the best support to students, we must listen, try understand and be able to respond appropriately in all situations. In addition, refer the student to the necessary personnel who may be able to assist further, where applicable.
At the beginning of a new class, start I can request that each student write down what motivates them, why they enrolled, and what they feel that they need to be successful.
Engaging with adult learners in conversations where they feel a sense of autonomy and can express themselves freely can promote participation in the learning process.
It is important to understand the needs of your students. Each student decided on nursing for their own reasons and its those reasons that motivate them to stay in the program. We need to be diligent to find out what the reasons are and remind them when we see them being less than successful.
This course highlights the various factors that affects a student's learning experience.
This course gave me a better understanding of student diversification and the importance of individual needs as well as the general needs of the course studies. This in turn will help teach the material of study while involving students as a whole. Teaching through real life experiences, engaging students allowing their participation and feed back will keep the interest of a larger more diverse group encouraging learning and retention.
