Get Your Students Hired
The fact that instructor personality traits may or may not naturally fit the traits of a successful instructor, is really good to know and makes a lot of sense when comparing instructors who do or do not implement active learning techniques more naturally as well. Active learning techniques parallel a lot with the needs of all the TCs. It incorporates and encourages student Commnication (for high Blue), enforced and detailed rubrics (for high Gold), challenging learning situations instead of rote memorization and lecture (for high Green) and can also incorporate more flexibility for (high Orange).
When learning activities are planned, it is recommended that the tutor take into consideration the types and personality traits of the students, knowing how they learn and how students interact with knowledge and their peers will promote academic success.
instructor practices linked with student perception of relational characteristics and pedagogical characteristics appeared to be most related to student perceptions of instructor support. This suggests that instructors should attend to the way they interact with students and how they are conveying support via their instruction.
It's important to give students the opportunity to grow self-confidence by allowing them to do things that best suit their personality traits without straying from the learning objective
It is so important to make a connection to the students personality traits. They need to feel like valued members of the learning community.
I like the survey to post in my Introductory announcements forum to take the place of a personality trait test.
This whole course was very informative and I learn a lot about myself as well as my students. I will definitely take what I have learned and incorporate it in my teaching.
Trying to incorporate assessments that can fit the varied personality types will lead to high-esteem and better performance/
This has been a good learning platform. I have gained some valuable knowledge and understand how and why some studetns are successful and some are not. Learning styles , true colrs and personality traits are all connected and helps promote a good learning environment. Instructors have a role to play in educating students, and leaarning about the personality traits will help guide us through and also help the student succeed which is th eultimate goal.
Creating a well-rounded and thoughtful course touching the needs of each of the student types is certainly the first step in the process. How students complete early projects is an indicator in itself of the type of student and how to help them excel in future assignemnts.
I learned that we, as instructors, need to know the different types of personality traits that our students will have. This way we can better understand them and do better as a instructors.
While completing this module I aknowledge the importance in identifing traits both in us as instructors as of students, in order to be more assertive in the design, implementation and evaluaion of a course.
One thing that I have taken from this module is to be open and creative when creating project assignments that will meet the content objectives. Allowing varying assignments that meet the needs of the different colors is how we can make the online course engaging and exciting for the online learner.
This seems very idealistic. I do not have the opportunity to assess my student's personality traits, nor do I have the flexibility or time to tailor assignments to each students' personal needs. Great concept, but how could you demonstrate proficiency and attainment of learning objectives without some level of standardization?
It is important for instructors to be attentive to learners personalities in order to be effective in our teaching and help students to set learning goals. Instructors ahould practice open communicationand set cklear goals for students.
Intersting topic and great to think about when preparing to instruct or lead a class. To meet the learning needs and learning styles of all students although sounding impossible, is very possible with the right knowledge base and understanding of these concepts.
I agree. Personality types can accomplish the tasks better suited for their personality type. I used to follow this same strategy with employees at the grocery store I managed. The Smokers were excellent cleaners, while the nonsmokers were better at ringing up customers at the registers without many breaks. Smokers could smoke as much as they wanted. It seemed to be a win-win.
This is helpful because teaching different students with various personality traits can be difficult if you are unable to identify them. Also, putting students in groups and having them work on group assignments can also be difficult. However helping students to understand themselves and others may provide a more productive outcome.
