Individualized instruction strategy:

INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION STRATEGY

Right after we are done with the field trip strategy the last second group presented on the Individualized instruction strategy.  And the thing that we learn in this was as follows;

 

Individualized instruction strategy

Here teacher should not stick on a method but try with many and they must observe the student individually.

Definition- Classroom practices of teaching which recognizes the uniqueness of each student learner and thus provides for adequate tutorial, guide and other support services suited to bring about development in the person

Purpose of Individualized instruction strategy

•       To enhance and develop listening habit
•     Enables the teachers to explain a lesson or demonstrate a technique to small groups of students at a time
•     Individualizing instruction allows each student to progress through the curriculum at his or her own pace
•       Long term retentions they note down what they usually understand
•       Importance is given as individual not as group or class
•      Careful use of teaching aids is encouraged
•        Smooth and continuous lesson but timely interruption
•       Uniform and equal learning despite of individual differences
•         Less time and effort needed for re-teaching the weak areas
•        Provide the normal students the opportunities and needs to make them successful

Principles of Individualized instruction strategy

• Clarify key concept and generation
•     Use assessment as a teaching tool to extend various merely measure instruction
•    Emphasis critical and creative thinking
•    Engaging all learners is essential
•  Provide balance between teacher-assigned and student assigned task

Requirement of Individualized instruction strategy

•      Each student learn differently
•     All students are talented in different ways
•     Educating children with special needs
•     It meets the unique educational needs of the children
•     Teaching requires differentiated and individualized instruction

Procedure for Individualized instruction strategy

1) Content

•   it includes the knowledge, skills and the attitude we want children to learn
•  Must have the tasks and the objectives to achieve the learning goals
•  Teacher must focused on the principle and the skills

2) Process- in include varying learning activities to provide appropriate method for the students to explore concept

3) Product

•   Initial and on- going assessment of student’s readiness and growth are essential
•   Students are active and responsible
•   Varying expectation and requirement for the student’s responses

Advantages of Individualized instruction strategy

•  Help student’s background knowledge, language, readiness and preferences in learning, interests and to react responsively 
•    Maximizes each students growth and individual success
• Helps in providing for the uniqueness of each children

Disadvantages of Individualized instruction strategy

•     Time constraint and chopped up schedules are an obstacle
•    Class size and teaching load are two of the biggest constraint 
•    Teacher preparedness

Problem-solving:

How to use in the classroom:

• Teacher should allow sufficient time for students to explore and interact with the software.
• Teacher may first demonstrate the steps to solve problems, then ask students to provide other possible methods to solve the same problems using this software.
• Teacher may provide the students to solve the problem in pairs or groups and let them present their solving strategies.  

Multimedia encyclopaedia and electronic books:

How to use in the classroom:

• Teachers might demonstrate the variety of ways to search information.
• Teachers should provide very clear questions that the students can answer with the software.
• Teachers can assign topics for groups of students to do research by searching information stored in the software.

Problem-solving, encyclopedias and electronic books

Problem-solving:

It is a computer program used as a strategy by means of which the learners’ specific cognitivity is tested, it checks the skill and processes by presenting problems in different levels which is relevant to learning objective which cannot be simply learny through memorising. It is more of sophisticated type of learning compared to drill and practice exercises. It promotes students’ high order thinking  skills such as logic, reasoning, identifying patterns and strategies.

The learners will begin from simple “trial-and-error” and move up to more logical and systematic thinking processes.

Problem solving stimulate learners, motivates and encourages to think and present appropriate response to the various salutation.

Multimedia encyclopedias:

It  provides materials in clear (organized text meaningful and provide the text in small chunk) and it is simple to utilize layout. it allows text or picture to be exported to other computer program such as presentation package or word processing package.It allows learner to easily navigate among sections through hyperlink.

Multimedia encyclopedias provides superior photographic,graphic image, video material and up to date content. It also provide search tools to enable learner  to search through indexed pages and text is specific types or keywords.

Electronic books:

It  is a spoken text that is read aloud with appropriate and understandable pronunciation, intonation and accent. Electronic books present a story proper to the students reading, understanding, development and cognitive level. It lets students to relate activity with the story text, instead of being inactive electronic 'page turners' and allow students to manage the reading pace. Electronic books provides  fine graphics, animation and alternatives for learning vocabulary, pronunciation,spelling and comprehension to prompt and inspire the learners.

Field trip strategy:

FIELD TRIP STRATEGY

In today’s class third last group presented on the field trip strategy and the things that  I learnt from today’s class are as follows;;;

Field trip strategy

It was introduced in 1827 by George Shilibees for a Quarter School at Abney Pared in Slode Newington, London, United Kingdom.

Definition- It is teaching and learning strategy y where we move outside to get more and better information about a particular topic.

Features of field trip

•   It facilitate the learning of abstract concepts
•  It motivates students through increased interest and curiosity 
•   It increases student-student and student-teacher social interaction
•   Develops social awareness

Purpose of field trip

•  It enhance the curriculum
•   Renewal by saving from boredom and refreshing]
•   Give students experiential learning experiences
•   Concrete skills such as note taking
•   Involvement in real world experience makes learning more meaningful and memorable
•   It helps students appreciate the relevance and importance of what they learn in the class

Types of field trip

1.     Instructional trips- it is a visit by the class or group of classes to a location outside the regular classroom
2.    School contest of festivals- it is to provide an opportunity for student s to demonstrate knowledge and skills developed through subject area instruction
3.   Motivation trips- it is going out with our own interest

Steps involved

Her e there are six steps involved which are as follows;

1.     Trip selection
2.     Logistics planning
3.     Field trip preparation or pre-trip discussion
4.     Post field trip
5.     Evaluation of the trip

And this strategy is having advantages and the disadvantages which are as follows;

Advantages

•   Real world experience
•   Increase in quality of education
•   Improvement of the social relation

Disadvantages

•   Expensive
•   Time consuming
•   Lack of support from school administration fort he field trip
•   Poor student’s behavior and attitude
•   Shortage of resources and choice of venue
•   Medical risk
