What just happened? My Goals • Process: Establish norms of full participation, self-reflection, self-disclosure, and student-student interaction • Content: Thinking about what makes a “good” teacher Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
What just happened? Strategies • Everyone has to make the decision to participate at the same time = norm established. • Make the internal external (name tags; wall walk) • “Press” to “express” (solo write before small group share; physically committing to a position before defending) • All processes include relevant content • Content foreshadows future activities/discussion Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
What are the norms/processes you want to establish? • Participation • Self-reflection • Self-disclosure • Critical analysis • Creative problem-solving • Thinking like a researcher • What’s your goal? Almost everything you do in the classroom should support your goals. Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Students like when something happens! • Students will do what you ask them to do if you believe they will do it. • You can build anticipation and increase attention just by asking students to do something different. • If you feel like you are taking a risk in your teaching, students will feel the excitement of uncertainty. Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
General Principles for Teaching All Students • Don't overlook capable but quiet students. • Give female and male students equal attention and equally specific feedback. • Increase wait time the amount of time you allow for students to formulate an answer to a question in class. • Avoid sexist language in classroom discussions, lectures, and in written materials that you distribute to the class. • Do not give them the answers – encourage problem solving • Monitor classroom dynamics to ensure that discussion does not become dominated by more aggressive students. • Vary the classroom structure to include more than just competitive modes of learning. • Revise curricula if necessary to include female experiences, and to include them in more than just stereotypical ways. • Do not ask female students to perform activities you would not request of male students or vice versa. Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
What do effective teachers do in the classroom? Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Erdle & Murray 1986 Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Factor 1: Rapport • Offers to help students with problems • Interested in students' ideas • Sensitive to students' feelings • Available for consultation outside of class • Talks with students before or after class • Tolerant of other points of view • Concerned that students understand subject matter • Knows individual students by name • Flexible regarding deadlines and requirements • Praises students for good ideas • Shows strong interest in subject matter Erdle & Murray 1986 Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Factor 2: Interest • Relates subject matter to current events • Describes personal experiences relevant to subject matter • States own point of view on controversial issues • Focuses on controversial issues within subject matter • Points out practical applications of concepts • Relates subject matter to student interests or activities • Gives everyday, real-life examples to illustrate concepts • Tells jokes or humorous anecdotes • Presents challenging, thought-provoking ideas Erdle & Murray 1986 Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Factor 3: Disclosure • Advises students about how to prepare for tests or exams • Tells which topics are most important for exam purposes • Tells exactly what is expected on tests or in assignments • Provides sample exam questions • Makes students aware of overall objectives of course • Advises students about how to prepare assignments • Suggests organizational schemes for learning material • Suggests ways of memorizing complicated ideas Erdle & Murray 1986 Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Have yourself videotaped and watch yourself teach. Erdle & Murray 1986 Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Open the Loop, Close the Loop • Focus on your hook. What is your opening question or exercise? • Leave them with a sinker. What was the point of what we just did? Is there anything they need to do to follow-up? Dr. Arnel Bañaga Salgado NPT305/307
Challenge for future classes • How do I get students to do what I want? Be clear about your goals, and plan your first class to emphasize process, not just content. • What do effective teachers do? Pick one behavior from each category that you are going to do. • Just for fun: Before your first class, listen to the theme song of whatever fictional movie/tv show you selected (or meditate on the qualities of that teacher.)
