How to teach
A teaching method should include clearly defined objectives that are attainable to the student. Such methods should include clearly defined roles and opportunities for each student. The use of action verbs is crucial instead of just reading off a simple procedure. Furthermore, methods should implement Bloom’s taxonomy to measure the student’s cognitive domains such as recall, and the student’s psychomotor domain which measures fine motor skills and the ability to complete a task. Finally, a method should include a affective domain which includes a awareness that you need to improve and how to improve.
Implementing strategies
Teachers should implement strategies that focus on the individual level. These should include the ability to adjust to the individual needs and workflow. The individual should still be attenable.
Clinical teaching
Clinical teaching is different than basic academic teaching. Instead of the clear academic routine of a classroom, it involves the ability to incorporate instructions and differences into the classroom. Teaching relies heavily on role modeling and listening in the clinical setting. Furthermore, Clinical teaching relies heavily on knowing that the teacher has responsibilities of her own.
Learning a student’s interest
You should implement a level of talking to a student and achieve a level of knowing what they like such as talking about hobbies on their break and sharing interests.
For example, my trainer has shared her love of cooking and I have even started to cook some of her recipes.
Feedback
Feedback is given to students based on the student’s strengths and weaknesses. Positive feedback is given to encourage the student and negative feedback is given to evaluate an area of improvement.
Statistical analysis of a group’s performance can be measured by the P value which gives performance matrices.
Evaluation
Evaluation should include areas of improvement and focus on the individual’s performance. It should define all areas of Bloom’s taxonomy. For example, clearly defining an objective and a procedure is a level-two difficulty. However, Implementing troubleshooting is a level-three difficulty.
The lab manager
The lab manager is involved in establishing goals and directions for where to take the laboratory. He is involved in the defining and establishing of the budget. The lab manager is involved in decision-making that will help the laboratory get proper accreditation.
