Most Likely to succeed- DVD
History
It was very interesting to see the growth of the educational system and the curriculum. How the industrial economy worked and the education system based on that worked in the past. They were able to see the growth in the industry... the graduates got jobs and they got placed somewhere, but it gradually started to fall down. Why?
Learning by doing
In the beginning the learners were not sure what they were supposed to do, but later they were able to understand the clue given by the educator.
As an educator I would like to observe the learners what they are really interested in and are passionate about. Based on the learner's interest i would like to support the learners by providing proper provocations. The learners who are curious and passionate get attracted towards it. As an educator I will not tell them what it is, so that the learners can develop questions, find reasons, discuss with their peers and get support from them to work collaboratively.
Growth mindset
As an educator i will encourage the learners to think positively about their learning. Give them the right positive feedback, so that they can understand where they are and how they could improve themselves and look for the next level of learning.
Innovative thinking
I would like to ask open ended questions to the learners, so that it gives them an opportunity to think and listen to others’ ideas. The learners could build on others’ ideas, challenge and refine their ideas.
Challenges for creating passion
I wonder if any learners do not have a passion. How do I find out? How do I help them find their passion? I have to work on it
Maybe I could spend some time with them, get to know them well, observe where they are spending more time, whether they are showing any interest or keep moving ( some learners like to observe first before they get into something) so I would like to give them some time.
Dealing with parents
How do i deal with parents? If the parents are asking about why their children haven’t learnt the alphabet, numbers, etc. Talk to them about their child’s passion and how they are learning literacy and numeracy from there, instead of traditional teaching methods. The learners can show off what they have learnt through their project to the parents during the three way conference. It’s always hard to take changes in the beginning but gradually parents will understand the truth behind it.
I am looking forward to see our future generation walk towards the information economy to face the world.
