Teaching Session On Problem Based Learning

Overall, the theories, methods and strategies learned throughout this program have allowed me to be a better teacher in the sense that I don’t look at the whole picture anymore. I pick apart each piece of puzzle to see how I can better each student as an individual. This will let my students to become investors in their education, as well as allow me to become a better teacher.

I learned how to explain and the task thoroughly, I walked around the room more, checking up on the groups. If students had any questions, comments, or thoughts about the task they could asked me while I was walking around the room. I asked my students many different questions like inviting, probing, pressing, waiting, orienting, re-voicing, connecting, and explaining questions to help them start or continue solving the task. These questions would extend their knowledge of the concepts and make them think deeply about solving and justifying their answers.

Standing at the front of the class, my nerves grew from a small, nagging annoyance to rampant thoughts of failure, causing me to scramble, my memory of the topic becoming fuzzy. My groupmate made his closing statement, which signaled to me that the hard part of our presentation was only just beginning. Watching several of my peers’ hands raise, it sunk in that the questioning phase of our presentation, and the only phase we could not thoroughly prepare for, had commenced.

For the delivery of the teaching session I felt that I created a good environment for learning, which Howard (2004) advises allows more effective learning , through being approachable and welcoming and this included introducing myself and then asking the student: their name, level of knowledge on the topic and whether there were any factors that affecting their learning needs.

This article described the how a group of educators came together to introduce problem solving to third-grade students throughout the year as a means to teach other concepts instead of just teaching this concept when it was reached in the textbook. The educators were in groups of three with a mathematical consultant. During the course of this project the educators met with the mathematical consultant every four weeks to discuss how students responses and their presentations. During these meeting the educators would often make adjustment to better fit the students. The article contained subsections about the special spark, the before, during, and after of the problem

If their structure fails, I encourage them to try again, to redesign, and come back. Often students are much more successful in their second attempt than their first. Throughout the entire process, I give encouragement and positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior and teamwork. The purpose of this first project is to encourage teamwork, positive interactions, and to set the mindset that it is okay to fail, and it is okay to try again. By completing a project like this at the beginning of the year, I am establishing that the classroom is a positive learning

The implementation of PBL throughout California is the course of action that the education system has embraced. PBL provides significance and availability to student learning which results in longer term retention of the subject matter. Students are actively engaged in their own education. PBL also provides an avenue in which the students have a voice and a choice to outperform their classmates on high stakes test. Often times this results in higher attendance and the students become more motivated. In addition, leadership skills also develop out of PBL. (Richards, 2016)

“Case management for chronic disease is a growing area of nursing practice as part of the current em¬phasis on outcomes and patient-centered care.” Tschannen et al (2013). In the article Improving nurses' perceptions of competency in diabetes self-management education through the use of simulation and problem-based learning, the author discusses a pilot use of wrote education, simulation and problem-based learning to improve nurses competency and ability to provide diabetes self-management education.

Oh boy was I scared into complete and utter silence on my first encounter with my new instructor. The demands on us, as a student, seemed to be exceedingly high leaving no room for mistakes. On the contrary, being that this was all pretty much new for me, I began to panic. Meanwhile as I tried to

At the beginning of the lesson, I felt that the classroom procedures were a little hectic. After lunch, it takes the class a few minutes to settle down. The students use the restroom and get a drink and then they have about 10 minutes of silent reading to settle down. Once the packets were handed out and the students had a crayon and pencil ready to go, the class felt a lot more settled.

To help students effectively interact with new knowledge, I often preview new content prior to the critical input experience with a short engaging video. Often I also purposefully organize students in groups to enhance the active processing of information. New information is presented in small chunks or digestible bites. Questions are then asked for my

Paulo Freire is a Brazilian educator and philosopher who is a leading advocate of critical theories. In Pedagogy of the Oppressed, he believes problem-posing education can fulfill the expectations in a proper classroom environment, by transforming the world which results in a balance of humanization between men and women, and by enabling students to become subjects by which the teacher learns from. My advanced culinary arts class is a good example of problem-posing education because of the way the students and teacher engaged with each other and promoted critical thinking skills.

determining if teaching was effective and to determine how appropriate modifications and adaptations can be made to improve future instruction (Dreyer, 2014:7).

The main responsibility of a nurse is to offer a various range of health care services which includes provision of health education, prevention against disease, promotion of health condition and treatment of acute illness. (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying, Shao & Hui, 2014) They are expected to perform a wide range of clinical skills for saving patients’ lives and this requires student nurses to have solid foundation in their learnings. The problem-based learning is defined as the learning that develops from the process of working towards the solution of a given problem (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying, Shao & Hui, 2014) and its learning approach has been the focus in the nursing education for student nurses’ academic curriculum. This essay argues that problem-based learning and self-directed learning help student nurses to develop critical thinking skills and problem solving competency. The essay also explains that both learning approaches develop student nurses to become effective team collaborators with good communication skills, which will make them grown and achieve higher in professional nursing career. Moreover, it describes how problem-based learning aids student nurses to develop their self-directed learning skills and empowers them to adopt to changes in the workplace and health care practices.
