Video about reflective practice in teaching/learning ICT and Maths lessons
- Do you like working in teams in your ICT and
Math classes and why?
- I like it. It isn’t always as easy as it
seems to be since people aren’t always eager to collaborate but once they overcome it, a lot of
benefits appear, such as social skills development and discipline.
- What methods encourage you to participate in
classroom activities?
- One of them is Flipped classroom, where
teams of students need to present their topic in front of the class and work in
teams after, solving math problems or any other given task.
- What are the most valuable aspects of
Flipped classroom for you?
- First of all, it makes students collaborate,
what definitely brings them useful skills for the future. It is also worth mentioning as an
excellent self-education opportunity. Students work hard on finding suitable
information across the internet and discuss the information they found with
their teacher and other students. This, in my opinion, allows them to learn
something new effectively rather than just simply listen to the teacher’s
explanations. This also encourages
students to do their homework! Typically, no one really wants to disappoint their
team so students try their best to be active and not to give up on their colleagues.
It is also worth mentioning that such classes help learners to bridge the gap
between theory and practice, since students not only search for formulas online, but also find their use
in real world, like we did in our Math class by presenting some examples on how
architects use function graphs in their structures or how engineers visualize
data.
- Do you always get enough time for reflection
in the classroom?
- I wouldn’t say so. Reflection is usually
done very quickly.
- Why do you think it is important?
- Self-reflection on the progress is, I think,
one of the most important parts in education. If a person understands his/her weaknesses
in particular topic, it helps them to make clear what aspects need to be
improved or learned. Such student bridges this gap and goes on studying new
things more effectively.
- What motivates you to study?
- Majorly my thoughts about the future.
Currently I am in my last year and with university ahead it is crucial to realize your
goals, strengths and weaknesses.
