In the seminar several
teaching methods were explained by participants. The following technics had
been presented as useful hints for
everyday work keeping the students in the role of active learners
- connect
new information with students´ everyday life by asking about their experience (list
the facts already known) and giving examples (put in, get out)
- keep in dialog
with the auditorium during the lecture: speak to the auditorium like to important partners and future colleagues (put in, get out)
- usage of
pair and group work (try out)
- usage of
concept maps and matching exercises (get out). Try Matching Exercise Creator http://www2.elc.polyu.edu.hk/CILL/test/matchmaker10.htm
- Ask the
students to paraphrase information in text (try out).
Design of
teaching-learning process (item, class, course) in four steps:
get out –
put in – try out – review
Three basic
questions in the course (curriculum, topic, assignment) design:
Why?
How?
What?
A way to
describe the learners is to find the factors that determine their reactions and
to analyse them in two groups (Stanley N. Herman, 1970) as a model of an iceberg:
-
Formal aspects (overt): goals, technologies of an
organization, structures, policies and procedures, services and products,
financial resources
-
Informal aspect (covert): attitudes, beliefs, assumptions,
perceptions, attitudes, feelings, values, informal interactions, group norms.
The author
very much emphasizes on the importance of having a balance between these two
aspects.
