Week 5 - The Strategies

Ok, today's lesson is on the 6 strategies that could be used to in the teaching of science. the 6's are:

1) MBL-computer-based laboratory - utilizes a computer, a data collection interface, electronic probes, and graphing software, allowing students to collect, graph, and analyze data in real-time. This real-time atmosphere allows students to attend to and process important details in each experiment.

2) Drill and Practice - is a structured, repetitive review of previously learned concepts to a predetermined level of mastery.

3) Tutorials - Interactive class taught by a tutor to students at university or college, individually or in small groups; Of or pertaining to a tutor; belonging to, or exercised by, a tutor

4) Simulations - The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviours of a selected physical or abstract system.

5) Problem-solving - is a mental process and is part of the larger problem process that includes problem finding and problem shaping.

6) Educational Games - are games that have been specifically designed to teach people about a certain subject, expand concepts, reinforce development, understand an historical event or culture, or assist them in learning a skill as they play.

Teaching is not merely asking the pupils to open their text book and do the exercises in them. Where's the fun in that??

As a future teacher, I intend to make my classroom learning as fun as possible without losing the fundamentals of a basic classroom orders and the losing the respects from the pupils.

Who says schools no fun?
