PS 0128 Exercise 12/3/2009

1. How can you initiate, sustain and direct activities in an ICT lesson to motivate students?

By giving them extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. For example, by giving them work on importing images in Microsoft words and create a story from the image they have imported. For example the image they have chosen is the pink heart (love shape). The image also play important role in motivation. For example, images of Mickey mouse, Pooh and any cartoon character. This will give them interest in the lesson. From the pink heart, the student might write “I love my parents so much. I also love my brother and sister.” during ICT class I just assist them on how to insert the image and how they write the sentences properly. During the lesson I will go around to check on how they are doing by praising them for those who have done it right for example, very good, well done and I also facilitate on the weak student and give them motivation like “you can do it, try again” without pushing them. And the same time say good things about the work they have done.

2. How can you help students plan, monitor and modify their cognition to develop self-regulated learning of students in ICT?

By giving them interactive activity. For example: recognizing the different types of storage devices. The activity is using the Microsoft Power point through IWB. The question is going to be in MCQ and mix and match question. They raise their hand when they want to answer the question. I will ask the student to go in front and pick the correct answer. Each answered question will give “well done” with animated image and if its wrong “good effort, try again” with animated image. With this activity they will monitor and modify their answer and this will develop their self-regulated learning.

In Class 2B, i have tech them the function of Mouse. different type of mouse and a different function of it. we had prepare the activity for them using IWB. they all participate and enjoying the lesson.

Teacher Concern

1. Self-concerns: ability to teach; class control; discipline

In the last lesson, I was being able to teach the student confidently. I am able to control the class properly by asking them to be quite during the lesson and ask them properly to sit in front of the IWB so that they can concentrate during the lesson and I can easily control their behavior. In the lesson I had prepare the activity on “how to save a document in the diskette”. I had put them in group of two/three since there are not enough computers available. To be fair, I ask the students to type a different short passage for each person so that everyone had a chance to do the activity. I had provided them a diskette and a handout of the steps to save documents.


2. Task concerns: teaching tasks such as big classes; inadequate instructional materials

I am teaching year three with 28 pupils in the classroom. It is quite challenging at first then after sometimes, they already know and understand the way I teach. Now, I can handle the class easily but sometimes when they feel nothing to do they tend to play around and talk to their friends. The material for teaching is for me inadequate because there is no internet connection and the computer for pupils is not enough and some are not working. But, by putting them in pairs, they can help each other


3. Impact – learning concerns: needs of pupils; about themselves as individuals, the tasks and contents of the teaching process, and impact of their teaching on pupil behaviors.

The impact of the learning to the pupils is that they be able to answer any question ask to them and they be able to finish the activity by saving their document in the diskette given. This is because they had learned the lesson easily and they enjoy the lesson. In the lesson I had distributed, the diskette for the student to try to save their documents by following the steps in the handout given. I gave them a short passages to be type in. the passage is actually the lesson I had thought them which is “the function of the storage devices”. This also makes them to remember the function of the storage device and teach them how to spell it right. If there are enough sources provided in the classroom, the impact of learning will be higher. A source means the computer and the internet connection. This is what the pupils need. I as a facilitator to the pupils also give impact to them. I often walk around to give them support and help if they have something to ask. During lesson I always put a high expectation in my students.
