6. Progression in learning
What have you found to be the most effective ways to use progression in learning to
facilitate success for the students?
I found it useful when I would start at the conclusion of the lesson or activity and work
my way back through the lesson developing activities which would help students
progress to that final activity. I found that working backwards helped me choose
appropriate activities to progress the student’s abilities of technical skill.
7. Personalised
Were you able to cater for individual differences within the class? Provide examples.
I tried to use a variety of activities and challenges throughout my lessons to cater for individual
differences and learning needs. Some students were more engaged in competitive activities such
as weighted number games, and others were more engaged with less competitive activities such
as the individual scoop and carry challenge.
8. Playful
How important is this element in your teaching and why is it important?
Students construct their own learning and meaning through play, rather than being spoon fed by the
teacher. Play is a student-centred approach, where they can put techniques and tactics learnt
throughout a variety of activities into a game like situation.
I really developed my ability to be reflexive with timing of specific activities. In my first couples of
lessons, I would stop an activity because it was due to stop at a specific time on my lesson plan. Later
on, through lab school, I understood the importance of reading the enjoyment and engagement
levels of students during an activity. If students were enjoying an activity and were still learning, I
would happily let it run a bit longer and vice versa. I would, however, still be mindful of getting
through all of my activities.
