HOW STUDENTS LEARN  VS. HOW WE Teach

By. Mr. Teachers

The points about how students learn and not a job that is not effective to deal with education in America needs them as learners. He wrote:

We found many bodies show evidence of a clear crisis in the nation’s quality of university education.

This crisis will cause a serious and determined response from all positions. But otherwise, we also often find our satisfaction ratings. We seem to turn a blind eye to the quality of our education process and results. Busyness daily routine and the familiar single-justice obscures the need to change.

What makes Gardiner’s article is very credible and strong is a lot of study and related data he presents. Some excerpts:

We know that there is a strong relationship between students’ formal operational ability and their success in their courses.

Is critical in order to form a high-society who need the knowledge and faculty appreciated.

We encourage students to think critically and to provide activities that we believe will help them to learn. However, our 30 years of research shows that most of our students hold epistemological assumptions that prevent them from understanding and, therefore, engage in critical thinking.

Motivate the UNMOTIVATED

BY. Mr. Teachers

Over the years, I have seen them collapse, falling hard into the vinyl seat of the faculty lounge, they heard the buzz that “Oh, hell” and “damn” that came from experience working with students who do not learn. I have heard with long sighs of frustration and then discussion of the “fact” that most students are “unmotivated,” unwilling slugs taking my time and best performance.

And, of course, not all students who are motivated by values of the same needs, desires, or want to. Some of your students will be encouraged by the approval of others, by some of the challenges.

Researchers begin to identify those aspects of the teaching situation that enhance students’ self-motivation. To encourage students to become self-motivated independent learners, the instructor can do the following: Read the rest of this entry »
