...Teachers Teach Teaching is the most fundamental part of a teacher’s job. It is more obvious than (though just as important as) inspiring, motivating and forming relationships. The act of teaching is personal. No two teachers are the same. The way you teach is unique to you and by teaching you bring yourself to the classroom: your personality, your experiences and your ambitions. Your pedagogy - your teaching style - is shaped by these characteristics, influenced by your own education, and becomes the guide you use to teach your students. But learning is a cooperative effort, requiring engagement on the parts of both students and teachers. Each student has their own learning style. They learn at their own pace and in their own ways. While it is important to establish your teaching style, you should also be flexible enough to take the learning styles of your students into account. Principles and Methods of Teaching The term Teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction. Teaching theories primarily fall into two categories or “approaches” — teacher-centered and student-centered: * Teacher-Centered Approach to Learning Teachers are the main authority figure in this model. Students’ primary role is to passively receive information. * Student-Centered Approach to Learning While teachers are an authority figure in this model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process...

(Definition) Moral education is an increasingly popular topic in the fields of psychology and education. It’s been constantly debated in our daily lives. For instance, increased suicide cases, juvenile crimes such as: drug abuse, gang fights, theft and also teen pregnancy and inclining abortion rates have caused many to question the morals of the upcoming generation. This is not only faced in Singapore, but many other nations are also facing serious moral issues with the children these days.

...meaningful health promotion and illness prevention-based education. How do teaching principles, varied learning styles (for both nurses and patients), and teaching methodologies impact the approach to education? How do health care providers overcome differing points of view regarding health promotion and disease prevention? Provide an example. Nurses are exposed daily to different cultures and beliefs working in the healthcare field. On top of the diversity, we should be aware of their level of education along with their style of learning, this way it will allow the nurse to formulate the best teaching method possible for the patient. Patients with cultural differences may not be willing to participate in the education or even incorporate it into their lifestyle. There must be a form of trust to initiate any formal teaching. Assessing their ideas and values related to their health and illness, medication being taken, treatments rendered, and expectations are a good platform for an effective teaching/learning to begin. Healthcare professionals should learn about the cultural background of our patients paying attention to their body language and expressions. Cultural stereotyping must definitely be avoided and be sensitive to their needs. Teaching should be a multidisciplinary team effort that includes the therapy department, dietician, and social worker incorporating all needs of their culture. Teaching can be done, preferably one who speaks their language, at the local cultural...

...EPISODE 1 PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING Principle of Learning Teaching behaviour of the Teacher/Learning Behaviour of the Learner as a proof of the Application of the Principle of Learning 1. Learning is an experience which occurs inside the learner and is activated by the learner. This implies learning won't occur unless the learner her/himself allows it to happen in his/her mind. It is not essentially controlled by the educator, rather on the learners' needs, interest and motivation to learn. In classroom setting, the educator must draw in learners in exercises that are associated with their lives. 2. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning and relevance of ideas. This is to some the same with the first principle. Learners can easily understand concepts if these are relevant to their necessities and issues. Hence, as educators, we should relate the lesson to the learners' needs, interest and problems. 3. Learning is a consequence of experience. This principle states one of the saying that says “experience is the best teacher”. Because of the experienced of the individual, a learning or behavioural change occurs. This showcases the role of experience of the learning process of an individual. 4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process. This principle states that learning could also come across social cooperation. In here, learning develops as an individual develops his or her own intellectual potentials as he or she associates others. ...

...second language teaching and learning. These changes have been driven by changes in educational theory, changes in the way we think about language and learning, and the development of an active research agenda which has provided important insights and ideas for classroom practitioners.” Second language acquisition (SLA) methods are a controversial issue among scholars on the best approach to teaching a second language. At this time there is no official playbook on the exact best method for teaching a second language. Professor Rod Ellis from the University of Auckland in New Zealand wrote an article entitled “Principles of Instructed Second Language Acquisition.” In this article Ellis describes ten principles for effective second language instruction (SLI). These principles demonstrate both arguments of each in order for educators to reflect upon the processes. Language acquisition is the process of learning a language. The best method for second language acquisition is controversial subject among researchers. Rod Ellis’s article “Principles of Instructed Second Language Acquisition” demonstrates ten principles in which can be used as a guide line and reflection for educators to use for teaching a second language. This essay will summarize Ellis’s article, and how each of these principles can be applied in immersion classes.

...Title: The Place of Motivation and Creativity in the Teaching Process I. Introduction Last May 16, 2013, the incumbent President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III signed an act that will add two more years to basic education in the Philippines. The Republic Act 10533 (Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013) seeking to institutionalize the government's "K to 12 program," which was already introduced by the Department of Education (DepEd) to schools all over the country during the past school years.

ATIEH (*) Associate Professor of Accounting Department of Accounting and Management Information Systems College of Industrial Management King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Dhahran, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT. Students at KFUPM in Saudi Arabia were surveyed to determine what they consider to be the major obstacles to successfully completing the two required courses in Principles of Accounting. The students were categorized as either accounting majors or non-accounting majors and were offered 26 potential obstacles plus one open-ended question. The study showed that the most significant obstacle was the negative attitude of students towards accounting as a difficult subject. Differences in responses of the two student groups occurred for only three of the listed obstacles, none of which were considered significant by either group. There was no correlation between the GPAs of the respondents and their views on the 26 obstacles. A comparison of the findings of this study and those of previous research is also discussed. All students in the College of Industrial Management (CIM) at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia are required to take two courses in Principles of Accounting. The courses are designated as Acct 201 and Acct 202 and they are taught during the...

...PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING Right from the start, Ma’am Glo asked us on what is our teaching principle? I don’t have any idea about that. What I only know is that I want to teach. I want to impart my knowledge, ideas and skills to the learners. But then, teaching is not an easy task. We stand as a model and an avenue for learning, an inspiration and hope to other people, especially to our dear students. Teaching is not just delivering or imparting knowledge to others, but again, accompanied with different principles. We must provide students the opportunities to demonstrate and practice the knowledge and skills innate in them. Teachers’ expectation also must be attainable so that our learners can match or cope with ours. Communicating must be clear so that our learners can perform better. “You cannot teach what you do not know” – a saying that elaborates too many topics that we do not know work against student learning. We should recognize the parameters of our lesson, the learners and their learning ability. Most of the time, there are instances that our learners can’t understand what we are talking about. We need to give time in shredding information to them. We are not our students, the level of thinking that we have is not like of them, sometimes we should go down to their level in order to give them clear information. This course not only opened my eyes, but also my understanding a lot of things about it. May these principles of learning guide us on our way to the journey of...

...January 30, 2011 University of Texas as El Paso Nursing 5347 Effective Teaching Strategies Dr. Beeman This assignment brought forth questions as to what type of teaching philosophy most represented the way I wanted to teach. Pondering over these questions led me to look back and remember how I best learned a subject and what type of instruction was given that kept my interest and made me want to continue learning that subject. Then I realized that I learned best in a pro active teaching/learning environment where a subject or concept was introduced and then having it broken down into layers going from the concept of simple to complex until I gained an understanding of what was presented. This type of teaching motivated me to want to learn more on the subject and this style of teaching is what I want to bring to my students. I want to motivate students to be pro active in their learning, empowering them to apply learned experiences into practice and gain a greater understanding of nursing as an ever evolving and scholarly profession. Charles Reigeluth’s Elaboration Theory (1999), an instructional design, represents the teaching philosophy I want to employ. By its definition, it is a design theory that contends that concepts, principles or tasks to be learned should be organized and taught from simple to complex order, while maintaining the overall meanings and principles of the context presented, leaving open areas in which ideas can be integrated...
