LESSON 9: TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES



         LESSON 9:


TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES


Some forms of dramatic experiences are plays, pageant, pantomime, tableau,
puppets and role playing. Being dramatic can hold, catch up attention and has a 
big impact to the students/pupils. 
             
The pictures shown were examples of puppet, hand/sock puppet and marionette.


To be successful in doing this kind of experience, one should make his/her materials presentable and motivating in order for the pupils to be attracted.


Role-playing.


It is another form of a dramatized experience. It is unrehearsed, unprepared, and
spontaneous dramatization of a lets pretend situation where participants are observed
by their own roles in the situation described by the teacher.

LESSON 8: TEACHING WITH CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES




           LESSON 8:

TEACHING WITH CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES


What are contrived experiences? These are edited copies of reality and
are used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not 
possible to bring the real thing in the classroom.

These were designed to stimulate the real situations.


The planetarium is an example of a mock-up which is one of the contrived experience.


Mock-up sample of a planned subdivision and a specimen are also examples.


We make use of these contrived experiences to overcome limitations of space and time,
to overcome difficulties of size and help learners understand abstraction.

LESSON 6: USING AND EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS


  

  


    LESSON 6: 

                           

                              USING and EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL              MATERIALS 

                              



One kind of an instructional material is a field trip. During the trip, the teacher must be attentive to her/his class . He/she should be there to explain the things the children is witnessing. 




The teacher should try his/her best to explain everything to the class so that the children will be aware about the trip they were going. They should also learn something from it.

The teacher will know if she/he succeeded on the presentation of instructional material if the class gained information from it. As a teacher, you should try your best and deliver it accurately for them and it should be easier to understand.

LESSON 5: CONE OF EXPERIENCE

     

         LESSON 5: 

                                                               CONE OF EXPERIENCE


The Cone shows the progression of experiences from the most concrete (at the bottom of the cone) to the most abstract (at the top of the cone). 



It is believed that any and all of the approaches could and should be used, depending on the needs of the learner. It shows what students will be able to do at each level of the Cone (the learning outcomes they will be able to achieve) relative to the type of activity they are doing (reading, hearing, viewing images, etc.).
It is important to remember that this does not mean reading and listening are not valuable learning experiences, simply that “doing the real thing” can lead to the retention of the largest amount of information. This is in part because those experiences near the bottom of the Cone, closer to and including real-world experiences, make use of more of our senses; it is believed that the more senses that are used, the greater our ability to learn from and remember an event or experience.

LESSON 4: SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING

  


                         LESSON 4:


SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING 


Instructor should begin his/her lesson with defining the subjects or lessons objective for us learners to be acquainted with the subject. This helps us to appreciate the method they use while imparting their knowledge to us. 

As a future teacher, I am also preparing my self to be able to produce a systematized instruction. The use of learning materials , equipments and facilities are big help for me to assist in defining  and delivering the discussion. 


The effective teaching is when your students learned from what yo imparted to them, and that makes a successful teaching. It is the most important thing of all, when your students learned from you and from what you discussed to them.

LESSON 3: TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR BANE?




                       LESSON 3: 

TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR BANE?





Technology for me is a blessing to education. With technology, there is a lot we can do which we couldn't do easily for the past years. Cellphone, which is a product of technology helps us to communicate our loved ones who is far away from home. It makes more closer and possible for us to talk and keep in touch with them. 

Thinking with how exciting  and engaging the teaching and learning with the use of multimedia in the classroom. And think of the many humans lives been saved because of speedy notifications via televisions. 


Therefore, as a human which wisely use technology in good purpose, can say that it is a big blessing.
