"To help myself and the students develop participatory bias I begin teaching from the students situation and from their understanding of the subject matter..."(27)
~ This quote suggests that to help students start by teaching them from what they know and work into things that they don't know.
"They reported being bored and silenced didactic lectures in classes where teachers raced to cover the material and ignored their questions." (27)
~I agree with this I find very structured lectures to be boring and often not helpful. I personally don't retain information this way.
"The class hour in itself is structured so that the students reflect on meaningful questions and influence the direction of the syllabus." (27)
~ The quote basically states what teachers should aim for as a reaction of their students.
I agree with what you said I can not follow long boring lectures either. I end up zoning out and not paying attention becuase its too much information all at once.
ReplyDeleteThe middle quote I agree 100 percent with. It is hard for me to retain information that way also. Love the picture!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your meaning behind the quotes and how structured lectures can be boring and not helpful. Sometimes it is hard for me to process all of the information at once.
ReplyDeleteBoring lectures make learning so hard, classes like FNED where we are in groups sometimes and actively engaged in the topics makes retaining information easier!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to the boring lectures. I do no retain any of the information when my professors are boring and or rushing through material!
ReplyDeleteI agree that lectures aren't always the way to go. Instead students need to play a role in the classroom besides just "listener"
