Study Unit 1

15 Aug 2021, 18:43 Publicly Viewable

This week as been pretty hectic.  Children are thankfully allowed back to school for face-to-face learning and therefore they have to catch up and continue new work all at the same time.

 

In this study unit I learned just what big a role music plays in children's lives.  The more I worked through this study unit the more ideas I got of what I could do with the children in my class to help me as teacher maximize the learning experiences of children.  The more musical the lessons can be the more the children will be able to remember what they have learned.

 

I also noticed that the different types of learning theories can be interlinked.  By that I mean that you have to determine what learning theory fits best with the content you want to teach the children.  The best way to do this would be to start with you as teacher to determine prior knowledge had by children about the specific topic.  Once you have determined what they already know then you can determine how you can get them involved in the learning process as much as possible.  The more hands on education the children can receive, the more they will be able to remember what they have learned and how to apply them to their everyday lives.
