The role of the teacher is to adapt their teaching according to the learning needs of the learners. It is important to set the goals for learners thus making achievements easier for the learners. Also providing specific and timely feedback to helps the learner to understand where they stand so as to progress towards attainment of their goals. • Create a challenging but secure environment in the classroom. • Differentiate instruction according to the needs of the learners. Evaluation is crucial in understanding what practically works out and what does not work out in the classroom. Teachers should critically evaluate their role as a facilitator to evaluate their impact on learning by gathering evidence from different sources on what is …show more content…
Resources used to scaffold gaps. • Collaborative discussions among the teachers: For example, regular class reviews attended by all teachers can focus on the progress that learners are making, how they respond to different learning strategies, which learning environments seem to best suit individual learners and what provision can be made available to the learners to ensure progression. The learning process The following principles could be explored as part of the learning process. 1. Active involvement Learning requires the active, constructive involvement of the learners. 2. Social involvement Learning is primarily a social activity and participation and collaboration is central for learning to occur. 3. Meaningful activities People learn best when they participate in activities that are perceived to be useful in real life and are contextually relevant. 4. Relating new learning to prior knowledge New knowledge is constructed on the basis of what is already understood and believed. 5. Being strategic Learners need effective and flexible strategies that help them to understand, reason, memorize and solve problems. 6. Engaging in self- evaluation and …show more content…
Creating motivated learners Learning is influenced by learner motivation. Teachers can help learners become more motivated by their behaviour and the statements they make. Active learning is based on a theory of learning called constructivism, which emphasises the fact that learners construct or build their own understanding. Learning is a process of making meaning. Learners replace or adapt their existing knowledge and understanding (based on their prior knowledge) with deeper and more skilled levels of understanding. Skilled teaching is active, providing learning environments, opportunities, interactions, tasks and instruction that foster deep learning. The VAK learning style uses the three main sensory receivers: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (movement) to determine the dominant learning style. It is sometimes known as VAKT (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, & Tactile). It is based on modalities—channels by which human expression can take place and is composed of a combination of perception and
