It was all new experience for me by really putting the learner at the very
center of learning.
I learned
several skills such as:
1. Crochet
2. Zumba
3. Breathing
Exercise
4. Sketching
In all
these, I have proven that this learning opportunity will be really effective if
the following principles are carefully observed:
On the
teacher:
1. Has a
bird's eye view of what is happening.
The teacher
is responsible for creating and maintaining excitement, they have to be
observant towards the attitude and response of each learner and even the student-trader
in the process of trading.
2. Considers
the Capability of the Recipients of Knowledge
Response to
the knowledge being imparted is different from one person to another because
their interest and need is the primary measurement if they will be motivated or
not. The teacher should carefully choose what appeals to them most. It is
important to note also that it should be a voluntary task in presenting the
skill they most desired.
3. Develops
relationship with their students. All personalities get to appreciate one
another if they have something in common; it builds a community of people open
for mistake and creativity so regardless if they are the teacher or the
student. As the teachers allow it to happen relationship will blossom and that
would make them realize that they are a community of learners and they ought to
help each other hand-in-hand.
On the
students:
1. Know what
they know
There should
be mastery of the skill they're about to present and the ability to communicate
the instructions clear and precise to their classmates. As they showcase their
talents it gives them confidence for the accomplishment being made that would
greatly affect their self-efficacy in handling different circumstances as they
grow older.
2. Share
what they know
To be able
to learn a skill is one thing, but to share it with others is another. Clear
communication is the key to be able to impart learning with their peers. From
giving instruction, noting the steps, doing how it should be done creates
creativity and allows discovery on their part as well as to their hearers.
Moreover, as my professor said the best way to reinforce learning is to teach
it to others.
Genuine
learning springs from accepting that there is no monopoly of gifts and we can
always trade it for a new one.
Happy Trading!
The Learners' Market gives opportunity to every individual to share a skill where they are most knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing paper cutting... you forgot to put that in your list above.. :D
