TEACHING PROFESSION CATERING TO STUDENT’S…

INTRODUCTION

– Knowledge about students will enable teacher to refine lesson, class discussions, comments, illustrations, and activities so that students are more effective in learning.

– References to student interests, backgrounds, knowledge, and even anxieties can make the class seem more personal and the material more accessible.


BACKGROUND – Students come from different family background.

– The teacher respects learners as individuals with different personal and family backgrounds and various skills, abilities, perspectives, talents, and interests.

– Teachers know the ways in which learning take place, and they know the appropriate levels of intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of their students.


BACKGROUND – Teachers build on students‟ prior knowledge, life

experience and interests to achieve learning goals for all students.

– Teachers help students to see the connections between what they already know with subject matter.

– Teachers should incorporate students‟ prior knowledge and experience in instructional planning to keep students motivated in learning.


BEHAVIOURS

– Students behavior

i. Cooperate with teachers and classmate

– Students responsibility in their study

i. Attendance in school

ii. Completeness of their homework


INTEREST – A student‟s interest in the subject is correlated with

the knowledge they gained from that subject.

– Getting students‟ interest consists of method for helping students foster curiosity and see the natural relevance in what they are learning.

– Interests are linked to deep learning recall of main ideas and responses to more difficult comprehension.


INTEREST – Teacher will be able to see students interest in the

subject if the students are more active in the class and more willing to contribute to the classroom discussion.

– Teachers will also be able to see lack of interest if the students doesn‟t pay attention, become lazy with his/her work or always absence from the class.


HOW TO GAIN INTEREST 1. Make the material relevant to the students.

2. Utilizing critical thinking into the lesson

3. Teachers must stay interest in the subject and keep students in a subject by bringing up interesting

4. Teachers should present the material in a variety of different ways such as incorporate movies, lectures, debates, research projects, groups projects, role playing, visual and audios into their classroom.


STRENGTHS – The teacher creates developmentally appropriate

instruction that takes into account individual learners‟ strengths, interests, and needs and that enables each learner to advance and accelerate his/her learning.

– Teachers know how students think and learn. Teachers understand the influences on students learning and differentiate instruction, adapt resources to address the strengths and weaknesses of students.


STRENGTHS – Since each student is different in terms of skills and

motivation, the strengths and weaknesses of each student will differ.

– Examples of strengths of a student is the ability to remain organized, hardworking, self confidence, focused, self-motivated and etc.


NEEDS – Therefore, the teacher regularly assesses individual

and group performance in order to design and modify instruction to meet learners‟ needs in each area of development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical) and scaffolds the next level of development.

– The teacher understands students with exceptional needs, including those associated with disabilities and giftedness, and knows how to use strategies and resources to address these needs.


NEEDS – Teachers have to adapt teaching strategies to

students needs.

– For example: if the students has difficulty in learning by listening, the teacher can provide visual via the board or projector, use the flash card and have students to take notes and use colored marker to highlight.
