This exploratory study was aimed at evaluating a module on the basis of the constructivist learning strategies to enhance the students’ motivation in Statistics learning. The design and development followed the Universal Design of Learning principles. The design included flexible instructional materials, techniques, and strategies for differentiating instruction which benefited the students of English Education Department taking the Statistics course. The study used a survey covering of 33 students. The students’ and teacher’ responses to questionnaires revealed that the students’ motivation and satisfaction increased toward the Statistics course in which Universal Design of Learning using various means of representation, action, and engagement was applied. It also suggested that the module was effective and that the Universal Design of Learning Model from the learners’ viewpoint put more emphasis on instruction. Its content was suitable in designing and developing module on Statistics in the higher educational context in Indonesia. The study results are expected to reveal information on how to further improve the Statistics teaching and learning quality. The implications of the research are provided along with suggestions.

No nation whether developed or developing countries can rise above the level of its education without giving adequate consideration for its Human and Material resources in terms of curriculum to be used. One of the Basic qualities of a curriculum is dynamism. This implies that a good curriculum is never static rather it changes along with changes in societal needs and aspirations, political and economic factors. For example in Nigeria the educational system has witnessed some changes in Content, Context and Structure (9-3-4 educational systems). Like most of the countries in the world, the changes have come as result of the growing awareness of the need to develop technologically, socially, and economically.

Professors’ Teaching skills and capabilities are very vital in imparting knowledge to students because unsound information and understanding about concepts that they are to teach their students due to their training insufficiency are likely to be transferred to their students. Therefore, their expertise in their field is important in the teaching-learning process. As cited in the Ozmen’s study (2012) teachers might unintentionally reflect their errors to their students in the teaching process. Teachers should have sound information and understanding about the concepts they are to teach their students. This study determined the Perceived Common Teaching Practices at the College of Management and Business Technology. The categories (Stockfors, 2011) used in determining the common teaching practices were: 1.) Conscious focus on students’ learning; 2.) Develops Good Teacher-Students Relations; and 3.) Broad Knowledge of Learning Processes. The respondents were 203 CMBT students from 1st year to 4th year. Convenience sampling method was used in collecting data. The instruments utilized were questionnaire and unstructured interview. For the Data treatment, Percentages and Weighted Mean were utilized. This result shows that CMBT Professors have common Teaching Practices. Though they don’t have the professional preparation and expertise, they recognize the significance of managing their Teaching Practices.

Social media is basically a structure that combines individuals, communities, companies or organizations that can share their interests, attitudes, values, lifestyles, visions and friendships. In the field of eLearning this structure can be used in many ways and through different web tools. It can provide educators with an opportunity to engage learners in the online classroom, as well as to support development of learner skills and competencies.
This article argues that it is necessary to move blended learning beyond learning management systems and engage students in an active use of the web as a resource for their self-regulated study, for problem solving and collaborative activities. The case study explored in this paper explains the role of social media in promoting cognitive and meta-cognitive learners development while using a constructivist teaching and learning approach. This paper presents the findings from a specific case study, as well as general guidance to instructors for incorporating social media in a blended learning environment, including the “Traditional Classroom”. It is also suggested a limitation of the use of learning management systems to cover the development of social competences and it is argued that self-regulated students are supported by personal web tools and engaged in different kinds of social networks.
Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles.

teachers handout 4elt conference how learners learn better.pdfMr Bounab Samir
My abstract : 4th elt conference
Learning preferences : How learners learn better?
Learning preferences are all about how your learners study and learn in better ways that reflect their interests and likes. Learners learn in different ways and have a style or a preference to help them acquire new skills , knowledge and remember things.
Some teachers prefer the concept preference to learning styles so as not to classify a learner and impose a particular learning style. What suits one learner might not suit another? For example, if a group of people are learning videos, some like listening and dramatization the teacher acts. Others want to stand up and move performing the movements at the same time as watching the teacher perform them.
Talking about the best learners learn respecting their preferences and needs is like someone in real life situation where he or she may buy a laptop or smart TV , do you get straight in and start using it, do you read the instructions first, or do you call or ask for competent person to show you what to do (or do you use the internet to watch a video on YouTube)?
That is a real life example of someone’s learning style or preference for learning.
Teachers first primary concern is how to make things easier for their learners and audience – The may opt for a particular methodology that they see it suit them or for a specific diversity while delivering their content, but this might not suit their learners.
For example, if teachers prefer to listening to a lecture they certainly feel more comfortable lecturing their learners.
That’s why teachers have to find out what their learners’ preferences are, then they can adapt the delivery content that to suits them.
There are so many different ways of ascertaining preferences, some systems might contradict others or even be misunderstood. Some people are in favour of them, whereas others aren't. The current thinking is that there is no valid research to justify their use. However, you need to make your own decision on whether using the results of learning styles' tests for differentiation will work for your learners. You will also need to check whether the organisation you work for advocates their use or not.
Most people don't fit into one style or preference, I recommend using a variety of teaching and learning approaches to help learning to take place. Your learners might instinctively know what works best for them rather than having it determined for them. For example, they might prefer practical activities rather than reading or writing. This might have been developed from previous courses they have attended. Rather than this being their learning preference, you could think of it as their teaching preference. You could ask your learners which teaching preference they prefer and then adapt your sessions accordingly.
You probably know if it’s hard for your learners to learn by listening,
But if they get their bodied up and moving around, things click instantly.
Or maybe they love listening to audiobooks,
But nothing seems to make sense to them when they sit down to read a paper book.
What you are describing when you talk about your learners in this way is their learning style.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

51. THREE LEARNING STYLES
Everyone processes and learns new information in different ways. There are three main cognitive learning
styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
The common characteristics of each learning style listed below can help you understand how you learn
and what methods of learning best fits you. Understanding how you learn can help maximize time you
spend studying by incorporating different techniques to custom fit various subjects, concepts, and learning
objectives. Each preferred learning style has methods that fit the different ways an individual may learn
best.
VISUAL
• Uses visual objects such as graphs, charts,
pictures, and seeing information
• Can read body language well and has a good
perception of aesthetics
• Able to memorize and recall various information
• Tends to remember things that are written
down
• Learns better in lectures by watching them
Tips for Visual Learner
• Turn notes into pictures, charts, or maps
• Avoid distractions (windows, doorways, etc.)
• Learn the big picture first and then focus on the details
• Make mind and concept maps instead of outlines
• Color code parts of new concepts in your notes
• Use flash cards when trying to study vocabulary
AUDITORY
• Retains information through hearing and
speaking
• Often prefers to be told how to do things and
then summarizes the main points out loud to help
with memorization
• Notices different aspects of speaking
• Often has talents in music and may concentrate
better with soft music playing in the background
Tips for Auditory Learner
• Record lectures and then listen to them
• Repeat material out loud and in your own words
• Discuss materials in your study groups
• Read textbooks aloud
• Listen to wordless background music while studying
KINESTHETIC
• Likes to use the hands-on approach to learn new
material
• Is generally good in math and science
• Would rather demonstrate how to do
something rather than verbally explain it
• Usually prefers group work more than others
Tips for Kinesthetic Learner
• Take study breaks often
• Learn new material while doing something active (e.g.,
read a textbook while on a treadmill)
• Chew gum while studying
• Work while standing
• Try to take classes with instructors who encourage
demonstrations and fieldwork

52. Overview of Learner & Learning Styles
Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques.
Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning
styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less
use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different
circumstances. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles fixed. You can develop ability
in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.

in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.
Using multiple learning styles and �multiple intelligences� for learning is a relatively
new approach. This approach is one that educators have only recently started to
recognize. Traditional schooling used (and continues to use) mainly linguistic and logical
teaching methods. It also uses a limited range of learning and teaching techniques. Many
schools still rely on classroom and book-based teaching, much repetition, and pressured
exams for reinforcement and review. A result is that we often label those who use these
learning styles and techniques as �bright.� Those who use less favored learning
styles often find themselves in lower classes, with various not-so-complimentary labels
and sometimes lower quality teaching. This can create positive and negative spirals that
reinforce the belief that one is "smart" or "dumb".
By recognizing and understanding your own learning styles, you can use techniques
better suited to you. This improves the speed and quality of your learning.
The Seven Learning Styles
• Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
• Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
• Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
53. • Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
• Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
• Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
• Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
Why Learning Styles? Understand the basis of learning
styles
Your learning styles have more influence than you may realize. Your preferred styles
guide the way you learn. They also change the way you internally represent experiences,
the way you recall information, and even the words you choose. We explore more of
these features in this chapter.
Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving
more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn. Researchers
using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain
responsible for each learning style.
For example:
• Visual: The occipital lobes at the back of the brain manage the visual sense. Both the
occipital and parietal lobes manage spatial orientation.
• Aural: The temporal lobes handle aural content. The right temporal lobe is especially
important for music.
• Verbal: The temporal and frontal lobes, especially two specialized areas called
Broca�s and Wernicke�s areas (in the left hemisphere of these two lobes).
• Physical: The cerebellum and the motor cortex (at the back of the frontal lobe) handle
much of our physical movement.
• Logical: The parietal lobes, especially the left side, drive our logical thinking.
• Social: The frontal and temporal lobes handle much of our social activities. The limbic
system (not shown apart from the hippocampus) also influences both the social and
solitary styles. The limbic system has a lot to do with emotions, moods and aggression.
• Solitary: The frontal and parietal lobes, and the limbic system, are also active with this
style.
What are the different types of learners?
As mentioned above, for a long-time people have been sorted into certain categories
of learning.
The main categories our experts mentioned were:
❑ Visual learners
❑ Auditory (or aural) learners
❑ Kinesthetic (or hands-on) learners
54. ❑ Reading and writing learners
Visual learners
Visual learners absorb information best when they can visualize relationships and
ideas. Maps, charts, diagrams and even essays work well for visual learners. When
instructors illustrate or diagram their lectures on a whiteboard, visual learners may
find they remember the information much better.
Auditory learners
Auditory learners are all ears. They tend to prefer listening to information rather than
reading it or seeing it visually displayed. Auditory learners may speak and read slowly.
They tend to be linear thinkers and may repeat things they hear out loud. When it
comes to studying, an auditory learner might remember material best if they talk
about it with someone else, since it will be easier to recall a conversation than a visual
image of words on a page.
Kinesthetic learners
Kinesthetic learners are the most hands-on learning type. They learn best by doing
and may get fidgety if forced to sit for long periods of time. Kinesthetic learners do
best when they can participate in activities or solve problems in a hands-on manner.
Sometimes even being physically engaged (tossing a ball, knitting) will help them
retain information better. They tend to remember what they do best.
Reading & writing learners
Reading and writing learners are extremely comfortable with the written word. They
prefer to consume information by reading texts and can further absorb information by
condensing and rephrasing it. The traditional college textbook and annotation process
works well for the reading/writing learning style.

64. Types of Assessment
Formative Assessment
It is an essential part of teaching and learning. It does not add to the final marks given
for the unit; instead, it put into learning through given advice. Also, it points out what is
good about the work and what is not? Similarly, it also affects what the students and
teacher will plan in the future for learning.
Summative Assessment
It shows the amount of learners’ success in meeting the assessment. Also, it contributes
to the final marks given for the unit. These are conducted at the end of units. In
Addition, it provides data for selection for the next level. The logic and dependability of
summative assessment are of great importance. It can also provide information that has
formative value.
Diagnostic Assessment
Just like formative assessment, diagnostic assessments intended to improve learner’s
knowledge. Besides, it looks backward rather than looking forward. It reviews what the
learner knows and difficulty that they are facing in learning. Not diagnosing these
difficulties could limit their participation in learning. Often used when a problem arises
or before it.
