3rd Reflection

Hello again,

Hope everyone had a great week with a lot of surprises and happiness. Now let me tell you what had happened during my pedagogy class, we had to present one teaching method that we feel is the most effective teaching strategy based on what subject we teach. 

So I choose the Problem Solving method because I am going to teach Maths. And basically the objective of maths subject is to solve the equation in any way of the method. 

Now comes the part of my task. This week my task is to choose two of my classmate's teaching method that I think is effective and also choose one classmate teaching method which I disagree to be effective. 

Firstly, the Flipped Classroom was a new word for me because that's the first time I have ever heard it. But then after one of my classmates presented this method in detail then I got a rough idea of what this method is all about. I think this method is effective because now the 21st century we are living in a world where the internet and technology are as important as clothes and food for every individual. Honestly, they are people like that, to be honest, I am one of them when my dad bought me a phone when I started college and starting from that day I can't live without the internet and a phone in my hand.
Back to the flipped classroom, its actually the opposite of traditional teaching method wherein flipped classroom, students watch lectures at home at their own pace, communicating with peers and teachers via online discussions. And in class time students spent doing labs or interactive activities to illustrate concepts. This method will actually enhance students to use technology for learning and education-wise and also enable students to voice out their views or opinion during class time.

Secondly, the Socratic Learning method, the reason I think is effective because as I understood my classmate presented is that the method encourages students by asking a question about the topic studied to clear doubt and assumptions. Teachers use Socratic methods in a variety of subjects in order to challenge students to examine both contemporary and historical issues. They are steps in this teaching method that will help students enhance their thinking skills, organizing knowledge and helps them to monitor their own learning.

However, there is one teaching method that I don't think it's effective which is feedback because giving feedback is not really necessary unless they are a presentation in class or role play. It actually takes time if teachers want to give feedback on every student. And also some students may take it in a wrong way or misunderstood the feedback. It's better not to give feedback all the time maybe once or twice in the classroom is fine as well.

I think this comes to the end of my blog for today. Hope you all read my blog and do comment below if you have any doubts. 

Thank You and Have a good day :)
