Today was the first day I had a classroom observation at the University of Arkansas. The class was at 9:15 am with Dr. David Christian at GRAD 239. The doctor started the class with a friendly talk with his students about their free weekend activities. then, he proceeded with a reflective reading activity about " The 11 Best Career Quizzes to Help You Find Your Dream Job."Dr. David started telling them about what are they going to do all the week. the Dr. started with something like an introduction ceremony between the Egyptians and the students. After that, the teacher told us about the subject of the lesson which was "life career Assessment".
The teacher used different materials like; the board, the computer, powerpoint presentations, the internet and mobile phones. Rather than the number of the students is about 9 students. the teach created a fun atmosphere.
We had an activity role play, to practice a life career assessment between a counselor and a client. After that, the teacher started to reflect on the activity. It was really a good experience to attend such a class.
Thank you for the description, Sameh.
ReplyDeleteMost of this post is summary. I would like you to begin adding more reflection to your experiences. For example, thinking of this post, you could ask yourself these kinds of questions:
- What techniques or activities could you use in your classes?
- Do you use role plays? Why or why not?
- Do you reflect on activities with your Ss? Why or why not?
- What variety of electronic materials do you use in class?
- What do you think about using tech in class?
These types of Qs can help you become more reflective.
