What would make students study harder?


Recommended Posts

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)

I agree in using different teaching methodologies depending on the subject matter. Active learning is more important than passive learning in adults.

^^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. ;)

I am certain that these teaching techniques will make the lessons more memorable for students. 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.

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.

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.

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....

 

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.
