Editor's Notes

  • #4 1, to understand,give the knowledge. 2, material or the way they understand same for the learner.
  • #5 Two side of a coin. Just like the kinesthetic sense and the movement. Both are separate but either process to work well both process to work well.
  • #7 1.Teacher shld knw the topic. 2. knw the studnt :listn d stdnt , wht they undrstand? Hw they think and response.3. shld knw d diffrnt tools n technqs more tech. = more flexible in teaching.
  • #10 t. shld knw the max. thing abt the subjct. More the knwldge more the confidnt. Hv the concpt n ideas r connectd , if less knwldfe = only content, more knwldge= corelate practicaly controvrses wt is knwn n wht unknwn T: 1. matreial:cntnt abt subjct 2. errors 3. thngs changed? 2: how to represent. 3: match d knwldge : stdnt dnt knw mch so approriate ex.
  • #12 You entr into d class room… hoping for covr al d contnt in 45 min studnt js fnishd community medicine lec. Student look hardly to stay awake nd Nd ur topin is pathways .
  • #14 The disadvantages are that lecturing minimizes feedback from students, assumes an unrealistic level of student understanding and comprehension, and often disengages students from the learning process causing information to be quickly forgotten.
  • #18 Simple que tht focus on experiances. Debt n controvry divide 2 grp
  • #19 Be like traffic police at tht time: Give opportunity to student who speak less
  • #20 Que = guide them level type n when to ask tht que. Concrete: abstract:creative
  • #25 1 tutor will be there- guide the stdent. Student will be more active and student will sole the problem but they will supervised by d tutor.
  • #27 Debate: two group points use controversial issue, STOP
