What would make students study harder?


Recommended Posts

am learning a lot from all of you...keep them coming....just remember our objective....to improve learning among Filipino students....as Rizal said "nasa kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan", then maybe we can as a nation move forward...for i firmly believe...one of the solution to our nation's problem is education.

some students kasi are tamad and lack focus. my prof did was, dapat daw basa muna kami ng topicnya bgo nya idiscuss and bago cya magturo eh quiz muna. kaloka,nung time nayun eh inatake ako ng migraine ko sa stress ko sa kanya..

 

but effective ba sa yo yung ginawa ng prof mo?

yeah kasi naipasa ko yung subject nya.. lol

 

Iyan talaga dapat ang ginagawa para hindi spoonfed ang learning process. Kapag active learning kasi alam na may motivation ang student na mag-aral, hindi pinipilit.

 

Kaiba naman iyung Physics 201 ko. Laitera at may favorites ang prof ko. Dahil sa galit ko sa kanya, ginalingan ko para di ako umulit. :)

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.

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).
