Week 9 Reflection

This week we learn about Method of Teaching, Dr.Chin told us what we must put in our Tugasan 3.

Methods of Teaching.

1. Teach competence
2. Teach skills
3. How to questioning our student effectively
4. Socratic questioning  
• Getting students to clarify their thinking , e.g., ‘Why do you say that?’, ‘Could you explain further?’
• Challenging students about assumptions, e.g., ‘Is this always the case?’, ‘Why do you think that this assumption holds here?’
• Evidence as a basis for argument, e.g., ‘Why do you say that?’, ‘Is there reason to doubt this evidence?’
• Alternative viewpoints and perspectives, e.g., ‘What is the counter argument for?’, ‘Can/did anyone see this another way?’
• Implications and consequences, e.g., ‘But if...happened, what else would result?’, ‘How does...affect...?’
• Question the question, e.g., ‘Why do you think that I asked that question?’, ‘Why was that question important?’, ‘Which of your questions turned out to be the most useful?’
5. Managing discussion
6. Group work.

We also did an activity on listing at least ten uses of water bottles. My partner Ruby were the last group to list down the bottles. One of the rules were, our answers should not be the same. Dr. Chin stated that this paired work were suppose to help us in finding more ideas.
