Claire Thévenin-Smith: Comment on Sirtimothy's post: "Wayne and the Brain"

http://dipedclairethvenin-smith.blogspot.com/2011/04/comment-on-sirtimothys-post-wayne-and.html

Tuesday, 19 April 2011. Comment on Sirtimothy's post: "Wayne and the Brain". This is a great post! You've covered so much already, I am not sure there is much left to say! But since we are all starting to agree that teaching is a profession and an intellectual pursuit, and teaching students is as important as teaching subjects, I will focus on Wayne's students' behavior and look for possible solutions to improve their learning conditions.

Claire Thévenin-Smith: May 2011

http://dipedclairethvenin-smith.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, 1 May 2011. Learning with Educational games. Parents, teachers and students all agree that video games present a very attractive format to students (. Virvou et al., 2005, Bougongeon et al., 2011). Any concerns are related to the efficiency of the content delivery in games as compared to traditional teaching. This leads me directly to the provocation: “To whom am I accountable? The consequence of improved behaviours (How do I control my students? Educational Technology and Society, 8 (2), 54-65.

Claire Thévenin-Smith: April 2011

Thursday, 28 April 2011. 10 Tips to keep in mind. 1 Begin with what the student knows. Constructivists believe that learners build new knowledge from their own experiences (Churchill et al, 2011). Evaluating students' knowledge and competences at the beginning of a course will help structure and enhance learning. 2 Set realistic expectations. Develop cooperation among students. 4 Keep students engaged and motivated. Various material suits various intelligences. Learning style preference affects the speed...

Sunday, 27 February 2011. Education Foundations: Assignment 1. With reference to one of these scenarios, how might knowledge of the philosophy and history of education help you understand your role? Why are the students divided into two different groups? How can we explain the difference between the interest shown by each group? What can Wayne do to improve the motivation of the students? This leads us to the last question. How do we improve the motivation of both groups of students? In his study, Schulm...

Claire Thévenin-Smith: PPLE post 2

http://dipedclairethvenin-smith.blogspot.com/2011/02/pple-post-2_17.html

Thursday, 17 February 2011. A learning environment that worked for me:. I was a kind of student who could have the lowest grade one term, and the highest the next, which was very puzzling for my teachers, my parents and myself. I always wanted to understand why it was the case, and why I always found on my report: “could do better”. when I felt I was trying my best. This leads me to the provocation 6: What will students want and need from me? What kind of a teacher do I want to be? A Blog Around The Clock.

Friday, 22 April 2011. Comment on Lizzie's post: Stan's scenario. In your post you have discussed the reasons behind the formation of 'gangs'. I would like to comment on this subject as I just read a very interesting article from the Australian Institute of Criminology on gangs in Australia: “Young People and Gangs”. What could Stan do in the context of his school? Stan would definitely benefit from a UC PD course! Perrone S, White R. (2000). Young people and gangs. Http:/ www.aic.gov.au/docu...Lizzi's p...

Claire Thévenin-Smith: Reflection on Sam's story

http://dipedclairethvenin-smith.blogspot.com/2011/05/reflection-on-sams-story.html

Sunday, 1 May 2011. Reflection on Sam's story. When I heard Sam's story, the ninth provocation came to mind: “How can I control my students? In Sam's story, one striking observation was the difference of attitude between different classes. Behavioral issues were not noticed in his Wood and Steel class. Was the subject, the teaching or the environment in this class better suited for him? Sam was identified as very strongly in the “D” quadrant characteristic of a holistic, intuitive and visual ...When disc...
