Bottom of Form 1
This task asks you to view a video on either Teachscape (K-8) or Mylabschool (Secondary) and answer questions found on a Guided Reflection Protocol form attached to the task directions.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS ON THE VIDEO ITSELF.
Note: Please organize your responses by labeling them 1.a., 1.b., etc., rather than writing all of your responses in one long paragraph. Also be sure to view the correct video. There is one for students seeking an elementary degree and one for secondary students.
This task is designed to give you practice and check your understanding of the first facet of reflection as described in the Reflection document found in the COS: 1. Observation and Description: In this facet, you will describe the teaching situation objectively. You must provide sufficient detail to fully describe the teaching situation. You must provide sufficient detail to fully describe the teaching situation.
This means that you should not include opinion, evaluation, analysis, or subjectivity in your responses.
Part 1.a Learning Theory: Make sure that you choose a learning theory rather than a teaching strategy. Learning theories include constructivist, behavioral, social, etc. and attempt to explain how learning develops and changes in people. For both videos, define the theory and give the main ideas of what the theory stands for. Then tell how you see the theory implemented in the video. Give a couple of examples.
Part 1.b Observed Teaching Situation: Make sure you describe what you see, but refrain from making any judgments or analysis. What does the classroom look like? What age are the students? How many students are there? What is the seating arrangement? What kinds of materials or technologies are being utilized? Remember, you are just describing what is observable without making any assumptions, deductions, analysis, or commentary. Try to be as factual and detailed as possible, even though the footage available is short.
Part 1.c and 1.d Teacher-to-Student Interactions/Student-to-Student Interactions: Again, stick to what you see, do not analyze, or evaluate. What exactly do you see taking place between the teacher and students and then between students? Are the students watching the teacher? Participating? If so, how? Please be very specific.
Part 2.a Lesson Purpose: Tell what you think the objective of the lesson is. What is it that the teacher wants the students to learn and get out of the lesson? What is the academic reason for the lesson?
Part 2.b Teaching Strategy: What teaching method or strategy does the teacher use to get the lesson across? This is where you might include experiential learning, hands-on learning, cooperative learning, direct instruction, independent learning, and other teaching strategies, depending on which video you have watched. After you identify the strategy, explain what that strategy consists of in theory. Then give an example of how you see that strategy at work in the video.
Part 2.c Teacher’s Purpose: Tell why you think the teacher chose the strategy she used for teaching this particular lesson. Why might she have chosen this method over others? What are the merits of teaching this material via this strategy?
Part 2.d Student Engagement: How engaged are the students during the lesson? Why do you come to this conclusion? Please be very specific and include examples of why you think the way you do.
If you have additional questions about this task, please contact a course mentor.
