The purpose of analyzing a classroom instruction video is to be able to reflect upon your instruction to see if you need to adjust strategies or keep things the way they are, in other words, what is working and what is not working. In addition, to get to know your students better and how they interact with each other, you can consider other strategies, to analyze your wording, your flow. Is it clear? Could it be said more concisely? Do I have any speech patterns/habits that might make my meaning less comprehensible, Helps students self-monitor their understanding? It is a good idea to have children analyze classroom videos because they get the opportunity to understand their thinking well at the same time seeing what great progress they …show more content…
I did this so I could get a better handle on how the conversation flowed, if there were long pauses, and if the students seemed confused during the conversations. From here I began to mark the paper with a T or an S so that I could easily point out how many times the teacher and student took turns speaking. This gave me a baseline to begin analyzing the flow of the conversation. I referred back to my lesson 11 power point notes to connect the information I found in the video to what I have learned. While browsing through the power point slides I came across a term that correctly fit the pattern that I found in the transcript. The word was talk management, preferably IRF that stands for initiation-response feedback. This is when the teacher talks, then the student, and then the teacher responds to the answer and gives feedback. This is used in most classrooms and usually leaves no room for student to express views (Lightbown & Spada (2006). Once I figured out one form of communication I dug deeper and analyzed how the teacher was posing her questions during these discussions. I soon realized that the pattern of questions were developed in a display and opened manner. A display question is when “teachers ask questions that they know the answers to so that learners can display their knowledge of the language (or lack of it)” (Kumaravadivelu, B. (2003) Beyond Methods) an open question cannot be answered with a simple yes or no question. It is a type of
(1987) described this form of instruction as a systematic method of teaching with emphasis on proceeding in small steps, checking for student understanding, and achieving active and successful participation by all students. I have also used the strategy as reference for determining the strengths and weaknesses of my lesson. After conducting in class lesson and reviewing my video lesson multiple times, I was able to identify my strengths
Verbal questioning can be used to gauge the learner’s knowledge, the questions could be rephrased if the learner did not understand the question and also gives the opportunity to expand on questioning. Some learners may find verbal questions intimidating. Video evidence would have to be used as there would be no real evidence, some learners may not take well to this.
Only a glimpse into her day but from what I saw, it was all positive. The students are learning how to work well together without adult supervision. They are learning responsibilities and taking care of themselves. They are learning that what they learn in class is important and will be put to use in their own personal life. In having the students participate in the store, it is keeping the students’ interested in learning math daily.
Despite the new discoveries in medicine whether it is a new vaccine or antibiotic, the most basic components for disease prevention and death in humans depends on a good nutrition and access to clean water. The RX for Survival: Back to the Basics video depicts how both an inadequate nutrition and malnutrition can impaired a child’s physically and developmentally. It is estimated that over 100 million children in the world are undernourished and causing the death of more than “one third” of the children (WHO). Furthermore, the consumption of contaminated water, which carries disease organism, exacerbates the mortality rate among children.
After viewing the videos of Samantha’s preschool inclusion and Peter’s classroom inclusion, I found that there are a few benefits of inclusion for children with special needs and their families. Inclusion classrooms can be very beneficial for children with special needs because it gives them a chance to be around typical developing peers to socialize with and learn from as well. In the video of Samantha’s situation, the typical developing children really enjoyed Samantha because despite her unique challenges, they were still able to play with her and they considered her to be a good friend. Another way inclusion classrooms are beneficial for special needs children is that, teachers of inclusion classrooms work closely with the family and team to develop the appropriate adaptations for children with special needs. When children with special
Frontlines video “Separate and Unequal” brings up two differing sides to an on growing concern within Baton Rouge. Both sides have one common goal and that is to better the education of their own children. However, with this mutual desire comes conflict with both parties due to the fact that some parents believe that their child is not receiving the best education they can get and thus limiting their child’s future. Frontline though does not choose to focus on this important issue throughout the video and instead alters the situation so it becomes a racial conflict instead.
The person I choose to share to two videos with and talk to was my mom. Some of the statistics flashed across the screen astonished us. The fact that 43 percent live with basic sanitation was shocking to me. To Americans basic sanitation is something that is expected. If we go into a public restroom and see remnants of another person’s fecal matter we are up hauled and disgusted. To think the almost half the world does not even have a clean toilet. To me, it was a real eye opener.
I noticed that many students pretended to not understand and they just wanted to prolong until the class was over. I didn’t think it was necessary to repeat the video maybe more than three times. The teacher gave out the worksheet to the students prior to the video and the worksheet was going to be scored, so the teacher wanted to make sure that the students did ok. Most of the activities the teacher did for the class were limited to one activity and that was to practice with the groups, reviewing and practicing what the teacher just
I found lessons very beneficial for students if they may not only participate during video lesson but use the other sites which will help them in their understanding of new tasks. There is a good example from the article: “Flip your students learning”. According to this article, we can catch very interesting information for us. For example, such as during the math lesson students may use video explanation and later give some answers for the teacher regarding the topic of the lesson. In the regular class, students will learn to do their homework. In my opinion, it is more beneficial for students receiving instructions, video tutorial, or lecture using the computer and come back to the class be prepared. Using flip classes, students can achieve their academic skills. Spurlock states, “… I would recommend doing it in smaller chunks.” Using screen recordings in smaller chunks instead of one big is useful. One reason may be that long videos get boring and once it gets to that point, it will be harder to memorize main points. In my opinion, recording your own videos for your own students is a powerful help for them. There are many videos recorded on topics that may be similar for students but not as similar as to how one’s teacher does it. So, recording for your students and showing them plus explaining the way you taught in class helps a lot. “Bergmann advises that teachers spend
Compared to the older generation of media and education to the contemporary modern day uses of media and education, these institutions are much differently based on the time period. My perspective of this issue is going to be much different than someone who is much older than me. The occurrence of dramatic events changes their perspective, this in other words is know as experiences. Our experiences make us who we are. Stereotype is a common term I use to describe a lot of the social issues that I continue to see throughout my lifetime. We all judge a book by it’s cover and the experiment by Jane Elliot called A Class Divided explains how humans in the previous age before the 2000s understand society. This experiment determines that humans don’t
If I was going to college next year I would want to have a personal class about sports and athletes. The video made Monsters University look like a good college. It looked like the students had a lot of freedom when it came to choosing classes and clubs .I think a lot of people should go here because of they much more choices. You could probably even create your own club if you don’t like the choices
The critical intervention video I chose was the birth to three years old. The video focused on soothing or calming a child that has difficult temperament. The video shows how to manage stress, upset, or arousal. Children from the age of 0-3 years old have very unbalanced nervous systems. They need caregivers to respond to their emotional distress with compassion. Babies need healthy attachment to their caregivers; this requires them to be seen, soothed, safe, and stimulated. It is difficult to do these things with children with difficult temperament because their nervous system is unbalanced. The way to resolve that is by balancing their emotional distress with active calming and soothing. If I were to intervene in a family environment when
The Direct Instruction approach asks students questions both one-on-one, and as a group. The teacher teaches in front of the classroom while having the students sitting down in rows or in a group on the carpet. In Susiun Elementary school, a teacher follows a workbook while students are reading from a handout with the same content. A list of words is numbered and the students have to reply as a class what the words say and how to spell them first saying it at a steady pace, then increasing in speed. After this, students are individually tested at the end of the day consisting of the teacher following along to the student reading a passage while keeping track of their errors. Students are less competitive in this process and have individual
This constitutes a dialogue on the contrary to a monologue. It allowed teachers and students to be able to discuss matters, rather than it being a one way teaching process
This was a very interesting Ted talk. If you are not really paying attention to the video you would think tomato sauce, mustard what is this guy talking about? But if you are closely listening you begin to hear the deeper meaning of his presentation. In my opinion Gladwell central argument in the Ted talk video, is humans are a diverse race who happiness cannot be measured, because deep down humans are unsure of what they want. Therefore when given options, their opinions will change. Gladwell uses Howard Moskkowitz food studies as an example to argue his case.
