Learning Styles

Students normally have different ways of absorbing content and information. The process of understanding differs from one student to another. The teachers' job is to know these differences and teach their students in the best way that suits them. There are four learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic and linguistic... Visual students depend in their learning on images, maps, and graphics. Auditory students depend on discussions, listening and speaking. Kinesthetic learners study best when they move around and integrate in the process of learning by doing stuff on their own. Last but not least there are learners who learn best through reading, writing and taking notes.

it's ok to be different

Students come to our class from different backgrounds, cultures, and religion... it's our job to teach them all equally without differentiating between them. they are all here to learn and we are all here to teach. however, we should be careful when teaching these students first we have to teach them that we all are at the same level, should respect each other, should not make fun of others beliefs and backgrounds. Students must learn to socialize in the class, learn from each other's differences. a teacher must know how to deal with them. she can assign them group work, projects, and presentations. Students here supposed to team up and work together. each student can introduce his culture once a week to the whole class so they all know about each other more. the teacher's role is to keep balance in class and not favoring or taking sides to have a successful session with a positive environment...

Education

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."   It is essential to include the students in the process of learning. They should be a priority for the teacher. She must take in consideration the students age, interests and likes. Students best learn when they are involved and not just lectured. If they get bored or sleepy then the teacher will lose their attention and interest in the topic she's talking about. So the teacher has a huge responsibility toward her students whatever their age. The responsibility of teaching them and keeping what they have learned in their minds.

Emotional Intelligence

Two weeks ago, I read about this topic and wanted to share it with you guys. It seemed interesting because we sometimes talk about it but without knowing that others have done research on it. Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify our emotions and of others, motivate ourselves and monitor them. Daniel Goleman was one of the researchers who brought up this topic and highlighted its importance. He said that one's IQ is important but what is more important is his EQ in other words "Being a person who is smart and intelligent is not enough to be good and do your work. it's the way you can handle people around you and the stress that comes with the job." How do you motivate yourself, how do you treat others, the skills that you have... So knowledge alone, is not the right reason to pick up employees. You have to see them while they're working and how do they act under pressure with their peers, bosses etc...
