The Importance Of Teaching Strategies In Education

The key to supporting children’s and young people’s learning is motivation, even if this is one to one with a pupil, in a small group or as a whole class, whether you are supporting the teacher or taking the class. Approaches to motivation include behavioural, cognitive, physiological and social. Therefore, when setting goals for pupils to achieve it is a crucial element. A pupil’s behaviour and the persistence and strength of their behaviour is all affected by motivation.

Throughout a learning programme it is the responsibility of a Learning Support Assistant to supervise and monitor students in the learning environment and outside of the learning environment if this is necessary. This can be done in many different ways depending on the students’ needs and disabilities. Some students need the support from an Learning Support Assistant by having the task or assignment that they are working on read to them, sometimes more than once so that they actually understand what they need to do, others need to have their notes taken down for them because they struggle to take all of the notes themselves, they should always be encouraged to take their own notes even if they do not get them all.

In the book “Drive” by Daniel Pink he argues “carrots and sticks” don 't work, they may have worked before but fail in todays 21st century, he advocates businesses and companies should transition into motivation 3.0 autonomy, mastery and purpose because “carrots and sticks” can achieve the opposite of what they’re actually intended for. Motivation 3.0 can be fostered by “type I behavior” that is driven by internal rewards and is self-directed to becoming better at something. I am of two minds about Pinks claim of transitioning to motivation 3.0 on the one hand I agree that it would be more beneficial for companies and businesses on the other hand I am not sure it would work in every type of job considering that most common jobs in a small town like the one I live in are routine jobs, but I do believe that in the academic career it could bring success.

Many times the reason students “hate” reading is because they struggle with reading, or have no experience or prior knowledge on the topic. “Personal identity, an individual’s content knowledge, and past experiences all play a role in whether students are motivated in one situation or another” (Conley, 2012, pp. 202). Activating prior knowledge is crucial in order to motivate students on a topic they have no knowledge about. In first grade a simple strategy that is used a lot is a K-W-L chart. Students get really excited when they get to stand up in front of the class and fill in a spot on the K-W-L chart with a marker. That alone motivates them to be engaged and listening. This strategy opens up what students already know about a topic

Kohn’s student-directed learning theory is an approach to the classroom management which may be particularly effective in the modern classroom environment. Student-directed learning will keep students motivated and teaches them to cooperate with each other sharing responsibilities and functions within their community. Kohn believes that the ideal classroom emphasizes on curiosity and cooperation above all, and that the student’s curiosity should determine what is taught. "Skillful educators tap students ' natural curiosity and desire to become competent. In a learning environment, teachers want to help students engage with what they are doing to promote deeper understanding" (Kohn, 1997c).

The important reason to makes a good and professional early childhood educator is to communicate with children and try to understand them.

Many teachers seeking to engage with and empower youth face the problem of engaging a student who is apathetic towards a necessary assignment. While the teacher may not know the immediate reason for such disinterest, there are many strategies and ways to address the disengaged student. In this paper, we will outline certain steps that we believe can create a lasting resolution to this scenario such as asking, listening, identifying, responding, and following up with the student. By using these steps, the teacher can demonstrate continual support and encouragement that will not only engage the student’s passions and interests for their particular

Educational psychology is a very important course for future educators. it really prepares you for obstacles you will encounter in your future classroom. Throughout this class I have learned strategies for teaching and had the opportunity to apply them throughout my field experience. Three topics we covered in this course were motivation, learning styles, and teacher efficacy. Throughout this essay I would like to give you insight into how I came across these topics while completing my field experience. Also in this assessment I will talk about my personal experience with my students and the obstacles I encountered along the way. In a addition to these obstacles I would like to talk about how I overcame them and learned a lot

From what I’ve observed in a second grade classroom while doing my Service Learning, I’ve developed a set of goals and objectives for the improvement of motivation and affect for the students who are currently in class. To achieve these outcomes, there are different types of activities. Since there are different types of activities to achieve the expected outcomes, I’ve developed lesson plans to support the identified goals and objectives.

Since the spread of formal schooling and education in human societies, fostering cognitive abilities, such as understanding, reasoning, critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving and judgment has been highlighted [1]. Problem-solving is an essential skill in today’s life [2]. Problem-solving is a goal-directed thinking [3]. It is a mental process, some logical, orderly, intellectual thinking that helps cope with problems, search several solutions and choose the best solution [4]. According to Moshirabadi, problem-solving is a systematic process and a problem-focused situation analysis that indicates the ability of individuals to overcome obstacles and to achieve goals. Problem-solving consists of three components of problem-solving

Teaching is not controlling, but rather working with the students to learn, grow, and succeed together. By having strong student-teacher relationships with students, the classroom will be a place for each member to express their feelings and work together. Academic success depends on these close relationships and guidance that teachers and students have with one another.

Teaching today has become a very interesting job for soon-to-be or current teachers due to the high culture diversity in their classrooms. Teacher not only have to be well prepared to present quality education but also to be able to accommodate for all the students needs regardless of origin, color or race. The important point is not teaching different children but due to their different backgrounds they learn differently; thus, the teachers now need to become aware of the students’ cultures in their classroom as soon as possible.
