keeping involves a collaboration by a group of teachers in writing journals (Richards, 1995; Xu, 2009). Collaborative diary keeping has been found to be instrumental in developing a critical reflection on teaching (Xu, 2009). Studies conducted on collaborative diary keeping have associated the same practice with several benefits to self-development among second language teachers (Orem, 2001; Richards, 1995; Xu, 2009). Firstly, the awareness of classroom process and a deep consideration of the same
recent times, the idea and practice of it has been accepted as workplace professional learning and development for both novice and veteran teachers (Boreen, Johnson, Niday & Potts, 2009). Therefore, mentoring can also be done for newly qualified and experienced teachers while they are in their workplace. The idea is that attention has been given to the professional development of novices to help them manage their transition from student-teacher to the profession of teaching, and for this reason, the
development of reflective practice on teachers and students is the nature of instruction, which can partly be related to teachers, students, and an institution. It either enhances or hinders this development depending on its actual practice by teachers and students and the availability of resources and facilities. Concerning this, the results from the questionnaire, interviews, and classroom observations were found to show that teachers were not in a position to practise reflective teaching in their classrooms
Thus, it was a felt-need to carry out a study that focused on teaching pedagogy integrating ICT and reflect on the results thus obtained. Key Terms Defined Student-centered learning (SCL), or learner-centeredness, is a learning model that places the student (learner) in the centre of the learning process. Internet is a global computer network, providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols Android
Writing is the process of producing and recording words in a readable and understandable form. In ESL/EFL classes, teaching writing is a frightening task for many teachers as students present problems that are different from those found in the writing of native English speaking students. Journal writing, a new trend in English language teaching, can be used to improve students’ ability to write in English because it provides students with sources for language and writing improvement. The current
A number of studies and theories have addressed the issue of simulation in nursing education, and especially how learning is being affected by the use of simulation in teaching. In published and unpublished materials, several authors have examined the different dimensions through which learning can be enhanced by the use of simulation. Constructivism Constructivism places the learner in an active role rebuilding their knowledge based on new experiences. Constructism is a theory that permits learners
marking. Framework and Principles: Nicol and Macfarlane-Dick were able to identify seven principles of good feedback practice that, if implemented, would support the development of learner self-regulation. Application of seven principles of good feedback practice in relation to MCQs: 1. Clarifying what good performance (goals, standards and criteria 2. Self- assessment and reflection. MCQs might be administered in an open-book examination. This allows students to self-correct and self-assess during
Introduction: Learning in the practice setting is an essential component in the education of nursing students (Perry,2009). The aim of this learning is to enable students to achieve the domains of competence and become safe, caring, competent decision makers willing to accept personal and professional accountability for evidence based nursing care (ABA 2000). Preceptors are registered nurses responsible for supporting students to achieve competence within the clinical setting (Frazer et al, 2014)
Andragogy, the principles espoused by Malcolm Knowles as fundamental to adult learning remains the overarching theory that influences many adult education programs and differentiates the practice of teaching children from teaching adults. Knowles centers self-directedness, validation of experience, problem-based learning, intrinsic motivation, and readiness as paramount to successful learning outcomes in adults. Jane Vella elaborates on Knowles' principles with twelve (12) of her own founded on a
The study of Ecocriticism brings a message of embedding the virtues of loving Mother Earth. As of which is supported by the aims of ecocritical teaching, to instill the conscious mind of human beings to have sense of belonging to the nature and construct their self-awareness. In this case, “green” morals are therefore inferred become an essential target to be achieved. But, there is another critical point in which deal with ecological crisis must be considered, that is, the actions of environmental
