Instruction and Facilitation...theory...in teaching experiances

 I belief that teacher apply learning theory in his / teaching practice. It doesn’t mean that individuals are sticky to one theory which they prefer for their teaching practices. To me it is changeable according to the course that we teach and the situation.

But when an individual is teaching the same subject in the same situation the objective of the course is still the same, in this case there is one theory which goes with this specific subject.

For example, I was teaching in TVET collage so students are expected to create a new knowledge and skill based on their previous knowledge need to perform the tasks in different and their own way. As a teacher I believe learning is the process of constructing new knowledge, the reason why I reflects this view is because my learning context is about skill and technology. So to me constructivism theory is relevance in my teaching practice.

classemates presentation of learnning theories

The presentation section was more helpful. It was an overall summary for the learning theories. The expression and the way each student illustrate the concepts of each theory is something different than just reading and only discussing with in the class.

Even if the theory that I suppose to present I tried to goggle and put some significant information to the class. But when I see the other presenter I gain any new information and the focus will be different and I start to view in the other way, I belief this experiences are very helpful for all of us.

being a behaviourist in our lifes......

The way that we  deal with some actions and just waiting any response mark us the behaviorist.in our life’s, socially interaction, at schools there are some practices which are more applicable to behaviorism theory, though we never intended it.

The way we appreciate our students and children when they do something right and when the make us to feel happy. Our good promises for our children or family members which come after any deal is more like the positive reinforcement. There are so many instances in our day to day lives.
