● How do you deal with different learning styles of students?

STUDY:
-The VARK model stands for:
● Visual
● Auditory
● Reading/Writing
● Kinesthetic
● -Supporting visual learners: Some of the more traditional styles of
teaching support visual learners, such as whiteboards or projecting
information onto a screen. Assignments could ask learners to make
pictures or diagrams. In addition, providing class notes or handouts that
students can follow along with are a great way to integrate visual
learning into your curriculum. Visual learners may have a tough time
with lectures and could need more time to process information that they
hear auditorily.
● -Supporting auditory learners: Including a lot of time for discussion can
support the auditory learners in your classroom. They want to hear what
others have to say and share their own ideas in order to learn and
process information. When you are giving a lecture, ask auditory
learners to repeat what they have learned back to you. Call and response
or question-and-answer processes can also benefit auditory learners. In
addition, auditory learners appreciate watching videos about a topic and
listening to audiobooks or recordings.
● -Supporting reading/writing learners: Most of the traditional
educational system caters toward this type of learner. The
reading/writing learner learns by researching, reading books and
writing. They will usually be content to write an essay or create a written
project. While these students may not be as vocal as auditory learners,
they can express themselves well with the written word. Try to give the
reading/writing learner time to write their answers and work through
their thoughts on paper.
● -Supporting kinesthetic learners: Since kinesthetic learners learn
through movement, teachers may ask them to act out scenes from a book
or use movement in other ways during the learning process. For
example, a kinesthetic learner can benefit by walking in place or pacing
in a small area while trying to memorize facts. Additionally, when
learning can be associated with movement of some kind, such as
teaching vocabulary using the total physical response method,
kinesthetic learners may retain that information more readily. The
kinesthetic learner who connects with something physically can use that
information to understand more abstract and theoretical concepts.
Answer: By understanding and learning more about the different learning
styles of students. In doing that I recall the VARK model which stands for
visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Upon being aware of these
learning styles I am more capable and confident in knowing how to teach my
students in various ways now that I am aware of these learning patterns.
Encouragement and patience with my students also aids me in coping with
varied learning styles.

● How do you manage discipline in the classroom?


Answer: First and foremost, I emphasize the need for classroom discipline to
my students. I feel that assisting pupils with self-control can help them gain
discipline. That is why, when it comes to classroom discipline, I focus on being
fair and polite to my kids. This will not only encourage them to do the same
thing, but it will also show them that they are appreciated and recognized.
● How do you maintain the attention of your students?
Answer: By being innovative and inclusive in a way that makes learning
enjoyable and engaging. I begin by getting to know my students and learning
about their interests so that I can prepare and create classes that are both
fascinating and engaging for them. I also believe that being enthusiastic is
what motivates children to want to study more each day. Being patient with
them while also entrusting them with a significant amount of responsibility
will encourage them to pay closer attention to the lessons.
● How do you encourage positive and constructive parental
involvement?
Answer: I can create a partnership of open communication and trust by
setting expectations with both students and parents at the start of the school
year. Building a classroom contract of expectations for both students and
parents to sign and/or having kids develop goals for their personal and
educational improvement are two excellent ways to do this. When everyone is
on the same page, it creates a solid basis for a collaborative approach when the
school year begins.
● How have you use technology to enhance your teaching?
Answer: A teacher can upgrade their skills:
● Can improve their communication
● Can learn to make their class more interactive by adding tools and
aids, which is indeed handy and easy to apply
● Connect with other teachers and learn and share their experiences
-Remember that technology is the tool and learning is the goal, not the
reverse. We live in a time where students can often teach the teachers what
is newest in technology as they have grown up in the age of computers and
adjust quickly to new advances. Also, the technology available today will be
antiquated by the time today’s children are adults.

Whether the technology is a robot with AI or a pencil, the key questions for
teaching IMO are — What do the students need to know? Which parts are
building blocks and which parts do they need to remember long term? How will
the students demonstrate their learning to you? And then ask, what classroom
activities and teaching techniques will prepare them to succeed in the tasks
that show you that they have mastered the material?

It is NOT better teaching just because it is on a computer, or requires students


to use new technologies. It is better teaching if the way you integrate the
technology leads to greater understanding of content and improved ability to
demonstrate mastery of that material at increasing levels of thinking and
application (See Bloom’s Taxonomy). How do we add new knowledge and
deepen students’ levels of understanding material? When new technology
helps you accomplish the goals of education more efficiently and to greater
levels of student demonstration of ability, use it. If the best means for the
material and mastery is group discussion and handwritten notes, use those.

Keep the focus on what is to be learned and how that learning will be
demonstrated. Then use whatever tools are available and compatible with the
goals of instruction.

● How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your lessons?


Answer: By looking at the entire class's test results and looking for trends in
the responses. I can correctly evaluate how well my lesson went by paying
special attention to areas where numerous students had issues and then
evaluating my lesson plans.
