In this class, the presenter introduced us to the PRINCIPLES
OF LEARNING. In these principles, the main characters that played vital
roles in the learning process are the teachers and the students. There are
principles that focuses on the view point of the teacher and others are on the
view of the students. It also emphasizes that teachers are to adjust for the
better learning process rather than students. One of the principles that the
reporter stressed is practicing the students repeatedly will make them perfect
in the lessons that were tackled and are to be tackled. For me, repeatedly
practicing lessons can lead us to improvement and not necessary to perfection.
As teachers, we are to recognize the development and improvement of the
students. In addition, letting them know that they have improved can motivate
them to practice more and learn more.
The
speaker also discussed about motivation as one principle of learning.
Motivation on the part of the teacher is hard, because there are some students
that are hard to motivate in terms of learning new lesson. But the part of
students, they must/encourage to have self-motivation or intrinsic motivation.
She
also discussed about the Traditional School and Progressive School.
If I were to choose from the two, I would choose the Progressive School
because its scope is not just on teaching the lessons from the books and other
references. It includes the teaching of values and developing skills and
talents of the students.
