Fourth Reflection Paper

Inductive Teaching Strategy

Inductive teaching is based on the claim that the knowledge is built primarily from learner's experience (self discovering) and interaction with the phenomena.

It is also kind of inquiry that calls for students to investigate rules, principles and generalizations which requires that students examine an array of models, finally concluding what law is operating within them.

There are two types of inductive teaching. They are guided and unguided. In guided inductive teaching the teacher gives the topic and certain hints (scaffolding) and in unguided inductive teaching  the teacher provides only the topic and just acts like a facilitator.

Third reflection paper

Today I learned the other way meaning of strategy, method and  skills in accordance with change. If we plan to change that is called strategy, how you do to in order to change it is called method, and the learned/possessed abilities to cope up with the way we do to change is called skills.

I also learned that teaching strategy is the plan that is designed to achieve or fulfill purposes of teaching. Teaching method is the particular way of teaching used to carry out strategies in a particular situations. Teaching skills is the learned abilities to teach. For example teaching strategy can be questioning strategy, the method can be what skill or ways you use to question, and the teaching skills can be directing, redirecting, pausing and reinforcing while questioning.

I also learned that the very reason for studying teaching strategy is to gain the attention of the students because every child learns in their own way so we have to plan them to teach in what way she/he learns.

Qualities of a good teacher

For me the teacher should be:
1. Punctual
2. Non bias
3. Approachable
4. Interactive
5. A good listener
6. Respects student's/others view
7. Available

SECOND REFLECTION PAPER

In today's class we had a discussion on difference between strategy, methods and skills. I came to know that strategy is the plan of action to teach, method is the way of doing and skill is the learned abilities to teach.

FIRST REFLECTION PAPER

On this day we did not started our regular classes as such but we discussed about being mindful and a part of life skill education. I came to know that through meditation we may be able to be mindful because when we meditate our mind comes to peace, so it helps us to be mindful about what we do and what we are.

The second thing that I learned about is life skill education where we need to review our thoughts and deeds in accordance with risky period of having sex. We have not yet started our life, so its important know the risky period while having sex. On other hand never indulge in such things.
