Instruction Course Works Samples For Students

Introduction

Cross-cultural decision making skills have been recognized to be increasingly vital to military and defense operations (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). The day-to-day operations of international military forces, in their interaction with different cultures as they work overseas, require intercultural competence to make decisions that are both appropriate and culturally sensitive (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). Cross cultural competency (3C) is accomplished through three unique steps: Cultural self-awareness, suspension of judgments and biases, and the development of skills that fit within domains of a new culture (Selmeski, 2009). Already, educational measures are being implemented by military colleges to promote 3C in military ...

The Relationship between Curriculum and Instruction

A common misconception is that the curriculum dictates exactly what and when a child is taught. In reality, and in more recent revisions of the curriculum, it actually shapes and influences what a child must learn in order to help them become a functioning member of society. For many, the curriculum is merely a selection of standards by which we must measure our nation’s children’s progress – instruction is the methods implemented to carry out those lessons. Therefore, the relationship between curriculum and instruction must be close but still kept as fluid as possible. It is clear that these two aspects of ...

Module 2 Expand and Share Activity

For this activity, I have chosen to expand and share about the Conditions of Learning, namely the external and internal conditions of the learner, under the (2.2) Instructional Theories of Conditions of Learning by Robert Gagne and Leslie Briggs.

Upon reading Module 2, I have recognized the importance of determining and understanding the external and internal conditions of learning as the primary considerations for the facilitator to be properly guided in establishing the objectives and in choosing the appropriate and effective instructional strategies.

Summary

In my quest to expand what I have learned about Gagne and Briggs’ instructional theory, I ...

Heath offers insights for use in the dissertation study for investigating any difficulties in the area of Americans learning Arabic. This study specifically addresses the learner and his/her creativity in Arabic communicative competence as it applies toward competently completing both the DLI course and the OPI (Heath, 1987).

Alptekin (2002) discusses the notion of communicative competence that suggests that native-speaker competence is the metric by which communicative competence is decided. Alptekin argues that this particular norm creates an unrealistic and utopian model for language learning that makes it impossible for SLA to be considered complete or sufficient. Native speakership ...

Introduction

Education is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one to another. This transfer is through teaching, training, or research, using various texts, image, animation, and sound.

In this age of computerization and globalization, all the educational institutions are utilizing modern tools to impart effective and efficient knowledge. However, the major challenge in front of us is ...

Chapter 3: Prior knowledge: Activating and developing concepts and vocabulary

It is important for a teacher to help the students access their prior knowledge before giving more knowledge. In most cases, students do not bother getting back to their background knowledge since they always think it is not important. In order for students to activate and develop prior knowledge, the teacher has to employ numerous strategies. Some of these strategies are discussed below.

1. Three Step Interview. This strategy employs a cooperative organization that is aimed at helping the students personalize their learning. It helps the students to listen and to respect the opinions of others. It is achieved when teacher ...

Introduction:

In this paper, the significance of good quality early childhood education has been discussed, along with the teaching strategies which encourage multicultural education. The relationship and interaction between the teacher and parents is shown to be of vital importance, in order to make a child’s learning successful and meaningful in every aspect. Some light is thrown on how a teacher can motivate children in the classroom and ignite their interest in various activities. Various assessment methods have now been developed and implemented which mainly focus on recognizing and nurturing a child’s strengths and strengthening the weaknesses or areas which need ...

In a quantitative research design for my problem statement, Arabic language instruction intervention will be implemented in an experimental group taking a 24 week course at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey, California. A control group with no intervention methods will also be studied at the same time. Information would be recorded via test scores at the end of the course; all participants would take the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), and the mean scores for both groups would be compared to determine whether the hypothesis (that the instructional methodologies in question can provide better oral ...

The study examines the efficacy of a professional development program for early childhood educators that facilitate emergent literary skills in preschoolers. The program led by a speech-language pathologist, focuses on teaching print concepts, de contextualized oral language, teaching alphabet knowledge within natural occurring classroom interactions. A child with special needs will flourish and benefit from an early childhood environment to empower learning. Center learning empowers a child to engage in the self-directed learning based on ability, interest, and strength actively. Centre learning will enhance interactive language, collaboration, independence, reading, and writing. All of the empowering areas of development relate strongly with the ...

1. Was the test subject group adequately prepared for the activity? (For example, did they have all the appropriate materials?)

Yes, the test subject group was adequately prepared for the activity. Because our topic was about social media, particularly Twitter, the test subject group only needed laptops or computers in order for them to follow the Instructions we have given.

2. How long did it take for the test subject group to complete the instructions? How does this compare to your expectations/predictions?

It took the subject time around 40 minutes to finish the instructions. This was far from our ...

There are many theories on how people learn. The social learning theory, constructivism, behavioral, cognitive information processing, and many others all suggest ideas about how people process information and learn. While they all make strong cases and have valid points about how individuals learn information and retain it, my views on the subject do not align with one specific theory. There are too many people who learn in too many ways for just one to be correct. For this reason, my informal learning theory combines pieces of different theories in order to create the most effective teaching method.

The social ...

Introduction

Young children, especially between the ages two to eight years learn best through activity based education. The main source of knowledge for these children is through their senses, as they are unable to grasp concepts in an abstract manner. In modeling science lessons for children therefore, it is important to focus the lessons around things that they can experience with their senses such as see, hear, touch and smell. Training children to perceive science in this manner will constantly immerse the children in their everyday world that improves their perceptions of the world. Children are very curious creatures and ...

There are various types of multicultural lesson plans. The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model and the Essential Element of Instruction (EEI) are some of the common types of multicultural lesson plans used by educators. An example of a multicultural lesson plan from the SIOP model is the healthy and unhealthy foods lesson plan. The objective of the lesson is to assist students identify and differentiate healthy and unhealthy foods. The students will to a story and tell a friend if the food identified is healthy or unhealthy. These objectives are in line with academic standards because they show the main aim ...

During the practicum, I felt myself not only learning as a teacher but also as an individual too. I mean this in the sense that before I began the practicum, I was less organised and much less confident but, as a result of this course, I now feel as though I am a lot more gregarious, prepared and generally more ‘together’ than I was before. Having spoken to a number of teachers now, it seems that all teaching practicums are intense and hard work – demonstrating the challenge of the job in full, and I have felt that this practicum has pushed me to ...

Constructivist learning

This is a student-driven process whereby the learners come up with their own way of understand information as they get to know the various concepts and as they think upon their own processes. Instead of getting information from sources and taking them as the right answers, the learners will integrate their own experiences that they get from the outside and from the other students (Glenda, 1996). As the theory puts more emphasis on the learner getting their own information from the outside, it also assumes that the learner will sort this information so that each individual student will ...

A contract is a legal agreement entered by two or more parties all having legal responsibility to undertake. Once two or more agree to perform an agenda, they either put themselves into an oral or written obligation. Failure to meet the agreement known as a breach has a penalty that the breaching party incurs. Oral contracts are used for social agreements such as preposition bets where the obligation is not serious. Written contracts on the other hand serve as a crucial document when it comes to businesses, governments and unions in which have significance impact on the parties involved. This is because oral ...

LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES CONFRONTING THE EDUCATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS

English was not always the language of instruction in schools across America as in the eighteenth century classes were conducted in different languages (Porter, 1998, para 2). In places such as Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Maryland and Virginia classes in some schools were conducted in German, French, Swedish, Dutch and even Greek. It was only after the First World War that English was made the language of instruction in American schools.

Bilingual education is an effort that seeks to help immigrant kids learn how to speak and write English by using their native language to do so. However this kind of ...

Introduction and Topic of Discussion Chosen

The topic of discussing that I have chosen to expand on is ‘Using Multimedia to Engage Learners’ that is found in Chapter eleven. The chapter discusses a wide range of media elements that can be engaged at different levels when it comes to educating learners. Most of the media elements discussed in this chapter are common to most individuals including the students thus they are conversant with them. These elements form part of the larger multimedia objects that include texts messages, video recordings, models, audio visuals and to some extent real objects that helps students to undertake demonstrative learning. This ...

Shapiro (2008) elaborates that RTI model applies the tiered instructional processes. This instructional process result is the one that drives changes in the students as they meet their academic expectations. The tiered education represents a model that has varied instructions to the children depending on each children’s difficulty.RTI model has three tiers of the instructional process. The main component of the component is at tiered one where the students receive instruction using a scientific core program. The instructional program contains a math curriculum aligned with the state standards. The aim of the math curriculum is to establish a known result to develop ...

Summary – Customized learning theory

Teaching pedagogy and style goes hand in hand with the variety of learning styles. A teacher has to formulate teaching strategies which will best cater to the learning needs of the children, which is why its highly important particularly for high school teachers to adapt the effective use of educational psychology (Slavin, 2012).

Effective teaching strategies and direct instruction for ADHD students is one of the key factors for promoting learning (Slavin, 2012). Direct instruction should be clear, to the point and consistent in order to facilitate effective learning. Ability grouping methods such as social learning groups and the ...

This article describes Initiative 1240 in detail. It states that Initiative 1240 will be voted for or against on the November 6, 2012 in the whole state of Washington. It goes further to explain that the charter recommends the establishing of forty public charter schools in the state, eight schools per year, over the next five fiscal years. These schools are supposed to be public schools that operate independently. This means that these schools will not be under the supervision of local school districts. It shows views from the opposition, support team and the media as well. The support ...

INTRODUCTION

In the context of educating 4th grade students, various learning theories exist. Two major theories are known as Constructionism theory and Learning-For-Use (LFU) theory which are discussed in this paper. The main purpose of this paper is to Apply constructionism and LFU theories to teach 4th grade student how to draw a house through using logo program.

CONSTRUCTIONISM

The concept of a learning framework is slightly new in the perspective of instructional drawing. The dynamic involvement of the students in the learning process has turned out to be the foundation for new guidelines for learning theories. According to constructionism learning theory, knowledge ...

The purpose of this study is to present, implement, and evaluate a combination of instructional methodologies/strategies beyond current practices for teaching Arabic language to military personnel attending the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey, California. The intent of such instruction is that students (military personnel) will improve their pass rates on the various examinations that test their listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency in Arabic. Furthermore, this must be done in a way that also provides a subjectively improved classroom experience, both in terms of education and enjoyment.

This study will be qualitative in nature, and will ...

They were used based on the needs f the students. The level of intervention increased when a student failed to respond to instructional strategies. For example, a student who slapped the teacher was given a detention while another student who threw a pencil to the teacher was given a detention which could be terminated if he behaved well for the rest of the day. The following are the behavior interventions used in this school

1. Behavior contract- was used to show responsibility of each student in order to help change behavior (Kinnder & Marchand 2005).
2. Behavior chart- used to make a record of ...

1. Differentiated Instruction is a teaching method that involves matching the instructor’s teaching styles with the student’s learning abilities. It is best achieved by intentionally grouping students of similar academic and learning levels to better facilitate the learning process. It is also achieved by providing several learning options to help the student absorb the information and make sense of the concepts taught.

Struggling – an example of differentiated instruction for struggling students is the development of after-school tutorial programs to focus on the subjects the students are struggling with. Another example is conducting special summer programs to help ...

Assessing of student in a classroom is a continuous process of determining students learning and performance in a classroom .conventionally the process entails setting criteria, standards and quality expected to be met by students, learners and teachers then a systematic gathering of information, analysis and interpretation of the gathered data and information is done to determine the attainment of the specified standards and expectations (David 15). The information is then used to make decision on areas to improve in order to attain better performance.
