Module 4
Ch. 9, 10, 11
Chapter nine talks about Metacognition, learning strategies, problem solving, critical thinking and transfer. It grabbed my attention how as teachers to set our students for success we need to ensure they are experts at being students. I never thought about it in this phrase before reading this chapter. Frankly, I didn't think it would be my responsibility. However, it makes so much sense that providing our students with tools and strategies to help them as students will higher their success rate.
Chapter ten, talks about Constructivism, and creating the right learning environment. It also discusses what could go wrong during cooperative learning. One main idea I took was how to apply learning methods. We all tend to stock up on new strategies and methods, but the question is how do we apply it. There is a big percentage of students who learn different methods, however they do not know how to apply it.
Chapter eleven, talks about social cognitive theories and motivation, self-efficacy, and self regulated learning. Ensuring that students are motivated could be a challenging thing, however learning without it could be detrimental. With the flipped classroom strategy, students need to be prepared to be self-motivators, otherwise completing tasks from home as independents studiers would become impossible. Growing up, I always felt lost and unsure of why am getting things completed. I even left things incomplete most of the time, since no one was concerned. And whenever I'm being watched and acknowledged I would do so well, and that was what motivated me to do well.
