GOOD TEACHING
Good teaching is based on three factors: 1.scholarship, 2. personal integrity, and 3. the ability to communicate with the young.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

Scholarship
Scholarship is both the grasp of knowledge and a habit of mind. An effective teacher brings about both from his students, but a habit of mind lasts in a person over a lifetime. Scholarship is not only an affair of the classroom, but a way of life which is marked by respect for evidence and logic, by questioning and finding new meaning in familiar data, and by the ability to see things in context, to relate specificities to generalities, facts to theories, and theories to facts.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

INTEGRITY

Integrity has 2 separate meanings: 1.probity: characteristics of honesty, principle and


decent frankness. 2.completeness or unity of character, the sense of self-confidence and personal identity most of our students' most painful trials are in finding their own selves, in gaining proper selfconfidence, and they look to the teacher as who has learned to control the ambiguities, pressures and restrictions of life.

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE YOUNG


The ability to communicate with the young is means, obviously, liking young people, enjoying their noisy enthusiasm and intense questioning. A good teacher must be, obviously, a compulsive listener. It means the ability to empathize, to see a situation as the student sees it. It means the skill of provoking more out of a student than he believed possible, of knowing the tests to which to put a young scholar in order that he be convinced of his own learning and to tempt him into further learning. It means a belief in the dignity of young people and in the stage of life at which they now find themselves. Great teachers neither mock nor underestimate the young.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 5

Acts which may appear trivial in themselves, create a standard and a style from which young people can learn. Examples: knowing the students name, and calling them by name, greeting students and colleagues pleasantly , remembering something that had earlier worried a student, and asking about it, resisting the hurtful sarcastic to a foolish comment made by the student, following the motto which all our parents taught us: If you cant say anything good about someone, dont say anything at all., Telling a student the unvarnished truth, privately. George, youre not working hard enough.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 6

Here are some points to be considered in order to help students developing rational habits of mind: always insisting on the reasons in class and out. hearing students, and questioning them thoroughly enough to know just how they see or are confused by an issue showing that you can change your mind, when evidence and logic suggest it. being on the edge of your subject and interest; exhibiting the same questing in your field that you would have your students feel.

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

The Code of Ethics is a public statement by educators that sets clear expectations and principles to guide practice and inspire professional excellence. Educators believe a commonly held set of principles can assist in the individual exercise of professional judgment. This Code speaks to the core values of the profession.

Principles

Is the effectiveness of teaching enough to motivate students to learn?

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

21

Motivating Students
To encourage students to become self-motivated independent learners, instructors can do the following: Give frequent, early, positive feedback that supports students' beliefs that they can do well. Ensure opportunities for students' success by assigning tasks that are neither too easy nor too difficult. Help students find personal meaning and value in the material. Create an atmosphere that is open and positive. Help students feel that they are valued members of a learning community.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

22

To motivate students, the teacher may consider some general strategies, instructional behavior, other general principles, and motivation factors & strategies by time .

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

23

General Strategies

1. Capitalize on students existing needs 2. Make students active participants in learning 3. Ask students to analyze what make their classes more or less motivating

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

24

According to Sass (1989), major contributors to student motivation are eight:

Six Incorporating Instructional Behaviors That Motivate Students


1 Hold high but realistic expectation for your students 2 Help students set achievable goals for themselves 3 Tell students what they need to do to succeed in your course Learning is most effective when an individual is ready to learn, that is, when one wants to know something. Avoid creating intense competition among students Be enthusiastic about your subject

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

26

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
General principles of motivation are five: 1 The environment can be used to focus the students attention on what needs to be learned 2 Incentives motivate learning 3 Internal motivation is longer lasting and more self-directive than external motivation Learning is most effective when an individual is ready to learn, that is, when one wants to know something. Motivation is enhanced by the way in which the instructional material is organized

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

27

MOTIVATION FACTORS & STRATEGIES


Motivation factors and strategies differ according to time period: beginning, during, and ending.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

28

There are four more points for the


teacher to consider to motivate his/her students: structuring the course to motivate students 2 de-emphasizing grades 3 motivating students by responding to their work motivating students to do the reading

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

29

The course can be structured in a way that


motivates students by using four methods: 1. to work from students strengths and interests, 2. to let students choose what they will be studied, 3. to increase the difficulty of the material as the

4.

semester progresses, and to vary your teaching methods

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

30

The teacher may de-emphasize grades by three


methods: 1. to emphasize mastery and learning rather than grades, 2. to design tests that encourage the kind of learning you want students to achieve, and 3. to avoid using grades as threats

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

31

The teacher can motivate students by responding to their work through six methods: 1. she/he may give students feedback as quickly as possible, 2. reward success, 3. introduce students to the good work done by their peers, 4. be specific when giving negative feedback, 5. avoid demeaning comments, 6. avoid giving in to the students pleas for the answer to homework problems.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

32

The teacher can motivate his/her students to do the reading using eight ways: 1. assigning the reading at least two sessions before it will be discussed, 2. assigning study questions, 3. having the students turn in brief notes on the days reading that they can use during exams if the class is small, 4. asking students to write a one-word journal or one-word sentence, 5. asking nonthreatening questions about the reading, 6. using class time a reading period, 7. preparing an exam question on a new reading material, 8. giving a written assignment to those students who have not done the reading
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 33

Ideas to Encourage Student Retention

There are 63 ideas to encourage student retention which are


subdivided into four general categories: 1. faculty/student interaction, 2. general classroom management, 3. student-initiated activities, and 4. faculty initiated activities.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

34

Faculty/Student Interaction
The teacher may learn the name of each student as quickly as possible and use the students name in class. tell the student by what name and title s/he prefers to be called (Prof., Dr., Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms, First Name). ask one student to stay for a minute to chat at the end of each class period instead of returning tests, quizzes in class, ask students to stop by the teachers office to pick them up which gives the chance to talk to the student informally.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

35

call students on the telephone if they are absent, or make an appointment with them to discuss attendance, make-up work, etc. get feedback periodically from students on their perceptions of the teachers attitude toward them. socialize with students as the teachers style permits by attending their clubs or social activities, or walking with them between classes, etc. conduct a personal interview with all students sometime during the semester. provide positive reinforcement whenever possible; give students a respectful answer to any question they might ask. listen intently to students comments and opinions so they feel that their ideas, comments, and opinions are worthwhile.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 36

be aware of the difference between students classroom mistakes and their personal successes/failure be honest about his/her feelings, opinions, and attitude toward students and toward the subject matter. If the teacher does not know the answer, s/he should admit that. lend some of his/her books to students and borrow some of theirs in return. give his/her telephone number to students and the location of office. at a first class meeting, pair up the students and have them acquainted with one another. have the students establish a buddy system for absences, work missed, assignments, tutoring, etc.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 37

General Classroom Management In day-to-day operations of class, the teacher may 1. circulate around the class as s/he talks or asks questions. This movement creates physical closeness. 2. avoid standing behind the lectern or sitting behind the desk for the entire period. 3. give each student a mid-term grade and indicate what each must do to improve. 4. tell the students (orally and in writing) what the attendance policy is

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

38

5. 6.

7.

conduct a full instructional period on the first day of classes list and discuss the course objectives on the first day, let students know how the course can fit in with their personal/career goals, let students know how, tell them what they should expect of the teacher and s/he will contribute to their learning. let students know that the learning resources the teacher uses in class (slides, tapes, films) are available to them outside of class.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

39

8.

have students fill out an index card with name, address, telephone number, goals and other personal information the teacher thinks is important. 9. if the subject matter is appropriate, use a pre-test to determine their knowledge, background, expertise, etc. 10.return tests, quizzes, and papers as soon as possible, and write comments (+ and -) when appropriate. 11.vary instructional techniques ( lecture, discussion, debate, small groups, films, etc.) 12.if the student asks a question, be sure that the student understands the teachers answer.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

40

13.get to class before the students arrive, and be the last one to
leave 14.use familiar examples in presenting materials, explicate rules, principles, definitions, and theorems with concrete examples understandable to the to the student. 15.If the teacher had to miss a class, explain why and what s/he will do to make up the time and/or materials. 16.clarify and have students understand the rules of what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior in a classroom, and be consistent in enforcing these rules. 17.realize the importance of eye contact with students both in and out of class.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

41

18.distribute an outline of the lecture before the class starts. This


approach assists students in organizing the material presented by the teacher. 19.if the teacher requires a term paper or research paper, the teacher should take the responsibility of arranging a library orientation. 20.have the counselors visit the classes to foster an awareness of counseling. 21.allow students to switch classes if work schedules change or other salient reasons develop. 22. be prepared to use an alternate approach if the one the teacher has chosen seems to bog down. The format of instruction can be changed according to student interests and concerns.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 42

23.throughout the

course, but particularly during the first

class sessions: stress a positive attitude (you can handle it) emphasize his/her willingness to give individual help point out the relevance of the subject matter to the concerns and goal of the students capitalize on opportunities to praise the abilities and contributions of students whose status in the course is in doubt utilize a variety of instructional methods, drawing on appropriate audio-visual aids as much as possible. urge students to talk to the teacher about problems, such as changes in work schedule, before dropping the course for them.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 43

Student-Initiated Activities
To produce positive results in getting the students to work with one another, the teacher may: 1. have students one anothers papers before they turn them in. This activity could help them to locate one anothers errors before being graded. 2. if the class lends to a field trip, have the students plan it and make some or all of the arrangements. 3. ask students to submit sample test questions (objective or subjective) prior to a test. The class itself can compose a test or a quiz based on the course objectives. 4. create opportunities for student leaders to emerge in class; use their leadership skills to improve student performance. 5. if students are receiving tutoring help, ask them to report the content and results of their tutoring 6. have students set specific goals for themselves throughout the semester in terms of their learning and what responsibilities they will undertake.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 44

FACULTY INITIATED ACTIVITIES To be more creative faculty member, the instructor may: 1. utilize small group discussions in class whenever feasible. 2. take the initiative to contact and meet with students who are doing poor work 3. encourage students who had the first part of a course to be in the second part together. 4. ask the Reading Faculty to do a reliability study of the texts s/he uses in the classroom 5. develop library/supplementary reading lists which complement course content. The instructor may select books at various reading levels.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 45

6.

use his/her background, experience, and knowledge to interrelate the subject matter with other academic disciplines 7. throughout the semester, have students submit topics that they would like to cover or discuss. 8. take students on a mini-tour of the learning resources center, reading/study skills area, counseling center, etc. 9. work with the division counselor to discuss procedures to follow-up absentees, failing students, etc. 10.use his/her imagination to device ways to positively reinforce student accomplishments and try to avoid placing students in embarrassing situations, particularly in class. 11.create situations in which students can help the teacher (the student may get a book from library, look up some reference material, conduct a class research project)

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

46

12.set

up special tutoring sessions and extra classes, especially for students who are doing poorly. 13.confer with other faculty members who have the same students in class 14.look at his/her record book periodically to determine student progress (inform the latter) 15.team teach a class with a colleague, switch classes for a period or two, or invite a guest lecturer to class. 16.use the library reference shelf for some of the old tests and quizzes and tell the students that some question will be taken from the old test in the next test. 17.engage in periodic (weekly) self-evaluation of each class (e.g. what was accomplished this past week?; how did students react?) 18.at mid-term and at final exam, the last test question asked by the teacher is that whether the student is going to continue at the college. If a potential drop-out is identified, the teacher can advise the student to work with a division counselor.
7/25/2010 Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 47

Teaching can be more effective by a) lesson planning, b) course designing, and c) syllabus designing.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

48

DESIGNING A SYLLABUS

Three aspects are to be considered whilst designing a


syllabus: 1. steps for syllabus planning, 2. principles that foster critical thinking, 3. and syllabus functions.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

49

Perfect syllabus contains eleven main subdivisions: 1. course information, 2. course description, 3. course objectives, 4. instructional approaches, 5. course requirements & assignments, 6. course policies, 7. grading, evaluation, 8. texts/resources/reading/supplies, 9. course calendar, 10. study tips/ learning resources, and 11. student feedback on instruction

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

COURSE DESIGN
A

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

GOOD COURSE DESIGN CONTAINS FIVE PRINCIPLES : challenges students to HIGHER LEVEL OF LEARNING, uses ACTIVIVE FORMS OF LEARNING, gives FREQUANT and IMMIDIATE FEEDBACK to students on the quality of their learning, uses a STRUCTURED SEQUENCE OF DIFFERENT LEARNING ACTIVITIES, and has a FAIR SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING AND GRADING STUDENTS.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

53

FIVE PRINCIPLES OF GOOD COURSE DESIGN

PRINCIPLE 1: challenges students to HIGHER LEVEL OF LEARNING all courses require some lower level learning, i.e., comprehending and remembering basic information and concepts. But many courses never get beyond this. Examples of higher level learning include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and creative thinking.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

54

PRINCIPLE 2: uses ACTIVIVE FORMS OF LEARNING means not passive (i.e. reading and listening), active learning means learn solving problems and thinking critically.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

55

PRINCIPLE 3: gives FREQUANT and IMMIDIATE FEEDBACK to students on the quality of their learning frequent means weekly or daily ,immediate means during the same class if possible, or at the next class session. Frequent and immediate feedback for students are needed to know whether they are doing it correctly.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

56

PRINCIPLE 4: uses a STRUCTURED SEQUENCE OF DIFFERENT LEARNING ACTIVITIES Different learning activities such as lectures, discussions, small groups, writing, etc are to be structured in sequence in which earlier classes lay the foundation for complex and higher level learning tasks in later classes.

7/25/2010

Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar

57

PRINCIPLE 5: has a FAIR SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING AND GRADING STUDENTS Students should have a fair grading system: objective, reliable, based on learning, flexible, and communicated in writing.
