I was flooded by the summarize of the wiki info yesterday. It was a bit complicated expecially come to the activity A,B and C. I really need time to think and to digest all the table in the activities. Everyone seem like filled with too many info at the same time ( cognitive overload which just learned from the multimedia class and Bee Hua like it very much), some of them also suddenly awake and reliazed the facts that the actual purpose of Dr. Tee for the wiki, somebody like me was swimming in the pool and hope to get something to rely on....(nearly die)...haha. I was interested in the story of flog and fish. It was a good example for us as a educator to think about our learner need and their world. Sometimes, my mind will fill with a lot of thing which is out of the context because I like imagination, like to think about something might not be exist or will exist, who know..... Educator might think that he or she must achieved the objective at the end of the lesson but they didn't reliazed whether the student have the same aim and goal with us to achieve the objective. The educator was so happy after finish a lesson but as a learner, they will think learn nothing because what the learner need and their perspective not yet reach and achive. That is a big problem for the education right now. Follow the actual procedure, we have to set out objective in our lesson plan in order to achieve it in one week, we sometimes won't care whether student really at the same track with us or not. After few weeks, then we only know that the learner learn nothing throughout the past few weeks, it was a bit pity for the educator.
Just share a little bit about the discussion yesterday. Demonstration is teacher centered or student centered. Everyone was given a different answer and mostly will say depend on the situation. For me, no matter it was student or teacher centered....the main point is to achieved the objective, right?
Thanks for sharing the above thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the main point is to achieve the objectives. The question is: what are the objectives? Is it preparing the students for the long term?
