Nina's Notes for Effective Teaching
ABCs of Effective education - part 2
Empowerment
Empowerment is the key, because it makes students want to learn. You can call it reverse psychology, or just avoiding the reactions of students when they are told to do things they might prefer not doing. Making learning meaningful for students improves their performance!
Externally set accountability can never achieve that!
Finnish it?
To describe Finnish education in one sentence:
In Finland more attention is paid to LEARNING than TEACHING, because students are the ones doing the hard job of learning, and teachers are there to help students to learn.
Goals
If the goal is set by someone else, meeting it will be significantly harder. How to help students set learning goals? And how to make these goals personalized? These are the big questions with no simple answers. But to be motivated to pursue ANY educational goals, student must have a positive expectation about the outcome.
