Teaching during Activity Flashcards
what does teacher need to effectively teach people
instructional skills
what do few teachers consider
what they specifically should do after they have asked the learners to begin working on the movement task
what is the challenge for teachers at this stage of the instructional process
properly discern their course of action based upon what they are seeing from students
what must teachers select from when the students are actively in the movement task
a diverse array of instructional options
what must teachers do for individual students and the group
help individual students while maintaining a keen awareness of the collective reality of the class
what two groups can the things teachers do while students are being active be divided into
directly contributing behaviors and indirectly contributing behaviors
directly contributing teacher behaviors include
maintaining a safe learning environment, clarifying and reinforcing tasks, observing and analyzing student responses, providing feedback, changing or modifying tasks for individuals and small groups, maintaining a productive learning environment
indirectly contributing teacher behaviors include
participating with students and officiating, dealing with the personal needs of students, engaging in off-topic discussions, attending to injured students
what do effective teachers establish with respect to their role while student are engaged
a list of priorities
what will inexperienced teachers do right away when when students start practicing
start assisting individual students
what do more experienced teachers do when initially start practicing
take a moment to see what is unfolding with entire group of students- make sure student safety and student productivity are on display
what is the experienced teacher wanting to initially understand
how the students collectively are managing with the activity
what to do after students begin a task (1-3 parts)
- ensure a safe environment
- confirm student understanding and student engagement, with respect to movement task
- assess general response of entire class to movement task and make any necessary adjustments. Want class progressing toward learning objectives
what to do after students begin a task (4-6 parts)
- continuously recheck that the work of students is progressing in a productive way
- take time to assess performance of individuals and provide assistance when necessary and possible
- continue with awareness that is whole group in nature. Be ready to make changes if pace of task or engagement could be better
what do teachers need to develop to implement the previous 6 steps
their abilities to analyze and observe to more proficiently implement them
what do the 6 functions have
interrelated nature
potentially impact one another
example of the functions impacting one another
if learning environment is safe and students are working on movement tasks that have been clearly explained and target their skill level, their level of engagement is likely to be high
when teachers actively provide feedback for students what does this do
not only potentially enhances student skill development but also addresses safety concerns
when teachers modify the movement tasks for students, either individual or group what does that do
contribute to enhancing the safety and productivity of the learning environment
when a teacher is intentional about trying to help a student learn what does it do
lets student know that the teacher is genuinely interested in the student’s learning experience
what is important to communicate to learners after students begin task
that pursuing learning is a worthwhile endeavor
what must teacher discern and how do they accomplish this
needs of students- both individually and collectively
teachers must maintain a connection with group and individuals to accomplish
what must teachers pursue but also recognize that something else precedes
pursue supportive relationships with each individual
recognize in PE, group monitoring must precede individual monitoring
