The Incredible..
Because of the name..
We become the first group to present the implementation table..
And 2 of my group mates were absent today (Azaki - went for a conference & Ismanor Fahmi - got prob with car)..
What to do..
It's a MUST for me to present our group Implementation Table..
It wasn't a big problem for me to be in front of others and present our ideas..
BUT..
the main issue is when i need to speak up in English..*sigh*
after all, i hope the lecturer and friends are able to understand what had been presented by me..
Dr J's comment (regarding our Implementation Table)
- Various activities was planned which is good
- He hopes that all the plan can be transferred into course ware
- He asks us to upload the implementation table into e-learning.
After a hard work for the whole week..
I would say that this phase was really difficult..
I know my weakness which is i am still confuse with learning theories and learning strategies..
Because of this weakness, it is hard for me to decide the learning theories and strategies to be used.
Let see what is actually
a) Learning Theories
b) Teaching and Learning Strategies
LEARNING THEORIES
1. Behaviorism - Based on observable changes in behavior. Behaviorism focuses on a new behavioral pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic.
2. Cognitivism - Based on the thought process behind the behavior. Changes in behavior are observed, and used as indicators as to what is happening inside the learner's mind.
3. Constrructivism - Based on the premise that we all construct our own perspective of the world, through individual experiences and schema. Constructivism focuses on preparing the learner to problem solve in ambiguous situations.
TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
1. Active Learning - Active learning is a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content. Cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and the use of case methods and simulations are some approaches that promote active learning.
