Advert description
As a teacher, I emphasise activity-based learning (constructivism), which enables students to take ownership of their learning and stay engaged throughout a lesson.
Some active learning strategies that I use include:
- Role-Playing (Year 7 students act in a drama that explains the IPOS cycle or how sensors work with computers)
- Debates (Year 10 students argue for and against the topic ‘Should the Internet Be Policed?’),
- Use of Graphic Organizers (Year 8 mix and match the python variable to the appropriate data type) etc.
I use such teaching approaches because teenage students need to be fully engaged in the lesson otherwise, they can get distracted.
As a Computing or Math Tutor I will see to it that all learning outcomes are achieved while still making sure that the teaching and learning process is fun and engaging.
