MentalQ Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Firstly, having students study harder may not be a desirable goal. We want them to perform better, not necessarily study harder. When I was teaching in the university, I was always on the lookout for the guy or girl who is often absent, or frequently comes late or is usually quiet in class. (I taught journalism, BTW) But if they happen to submit exemplary work at the right time, I waive the rules about absenteeism or tardiness; somehow nobody lodged a serious complaint, but I had always emphasized that these students have a great career ahead of them as writers. Secondly, the usual challenge is how to make the course more interesting. There are as many ways to teach and learn a concept (teaching and learning are two different things), and the challenge to the teacher is to find the right mix. Thirdly, we can also go the assessment track, and make sure that their exams or tests, or whatever means we employ to assess learning is equally challenging and interesting. Fourthly, the students generally take in as much as we (the teachers) give. You will have to figure this one out by yourself. And Finally, having a sense of humour and adventure always helps. Sometimes its necessary not to take things too seriously. Quote Link to comment
DROYALE Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 students would study harder if they LOVE their course / if they ENJOY the learning process. my opinion based on my College experience -D 1 Quote Link to comment

Sometimes its necessary not to take things too seriously. I agree with this one. What I do with my students is to give them exercises (easy ones), grade them and discuss them the next class. This is really effective. I give 1 homework in a week which is also easy, but should make them know how to work things out. Keeping them interested is also a key, what I do is search for recent articles related sa topic that most of them will be able to relate to (especially if field nila). Quote Link to comment

Julianda Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Generally speaking, in order for the students to learn effectively (without pressuring them), a teacher should learn to adapt different methods of teaching or strategies for effective teaching. Below are examples of strategies for effective learning:(Applicable to Secondary and Intermediate level (or even higher) Practical examples (connecting theory with applications) Show and Tell (reversing student roles) Case studies (Bringing "Real-Life" Scenarios into the Classroom) Open-ended labs (Making Students Think Deeper) The flowchart technique (organizing the flow of thought) Open-ended quizzes (Moving Students Away From Memorization) Brainstorming (Encouraging activity) Question-and-answer method (Encouraging Student Participation) Software (Increasing teaching efficiency) Teaching improvement (monitoring your progress) Fast Feedback form (contributing your ideas) http://www.engr.wisc.edu/ Quote Link to comment

the assassin Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 positive reinforcement, make your subject of discussion relevant and interesting. grades may or may not be important, but what really matters is that an educator has taught something invaluable to his/her students. Quote Link to comment

Active learning is more important than passive learning in adults. Quote Link to comment
Julianda Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) ^^As far as active learning is concerned, it is not only as effective as adult's learning but also in general terms. But being a passive learner, however, does not mean that the students in that level are not learning. An effective teacher, like what i had stated earlier, can be more effective once the output have come out with good results. And that is by applying all the methods of teaching. Meaning, the passivity of learning is likely out of the question here. Edited July 28, 2012 by Julianda Quote Link to comment

I wonder if these techniques are already in place in Philippine education. We need to move from an education that stresses memorization to an education that stresses how to think and analyze effectively. Edited January 14, 2013 by maxiev Quote Link to comment

We need to move from an education that stresses memorization to an education that stresses how to think and analyze effectively. I guess the teaching strategies or techniques that being mentioned are certainly applicable regardless of the country where you are in. And yes, even before, our schools or unis in our country are into those techniques you've mentioned. Actually, it's not the school per se but the individuals (being the educators ) who had their own style of applying those techniques. Quote Link to comment
oscartamaguchiblackface Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 By making the lesson relevant to everyday life. For instance, when studying the Noli or Fili, the professor can ask his students to name today's counterpart of Dona Victorina, for instance. Or compare the role the Catholic Church played in Rizal's time with the role it plays today. And so on and so forth.... Quote Link to comment
sonnyt111 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 A professor who knows how to think "outside the box" can motivate his/her students to study harder. The professor must be willing to experiment using different teaching techniques until he/she can narrow down the best methods possible in motivating students. Sometimes, the professor needs to employ trial and error methods and when something seems to work, the professor can use that to his/her advantage. Quote Link to comment

For guys, having a really beautiful and sexy teacher can help motivate them to study harder so they can impress the teacher with their knowledge of the subject matter. And perhaps even help them get to first base. Just kidding guys. Peace. Quote Link to comment

Doctor Ace Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Students learn what they want to learn. Pedagogy matters but inner motivation is the key driver to learning.+1 Quote Link to comment
perriwinkle Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Depende sa course, madaming students ang talagang "spoon feeding" ang kailangan, kasi bukod sa short span ang attention sa lesson....ang mga gadgets at technology ang nagle- lessen sa kasipagan....sad to say lalo na sa mga private schools.

In addition to this...if the subject is quite serious and boring (for the students) the teacher/prof need to show short films or scripts for a better understanding while discussing the topic.
