Do you think mathematics is too vague to understand or was that your mathematics teacher who made it boring to understand it? Do you think that listening to a history lesson is more exciting than listening to a mathematics lesson? Well, my friend then your teacher didn’t make your lessons enjoyable by using some visualization tools to make mathematics more abstract. According to qualitative study conducted by Kennedy & Dunn (2018) using technology enhanced learning, promotes the interaction between the students and the teacher. When I was in high school, my physics teacher used “simulations” to explain us how physics work, he used PhET simulations to teach us about gases, vectors, molecules and many more things. It looked like this. A PhET simulation about gas properties. But I have always dreamt about learning mathematics in a similar way, because you know high school mathematics sounds boring with its logarithm, derivative, integral, trigonometry, cosines, sinuses etc....
Is Physical Education in schools, useless or not? In schools there are many activities that students do for physical education, jumping, climbing, running, playing football, basketball, gymnastics and the list goes on. Some students see physical education as a pointless activity. The students should be active, because a person till they become adults, have the energy to go on whole day, do many activities, but at the same time they need to recharge, use muscles build up strength. It cannot be deniable that students sit on their chairs all day long, they only have 10 minute breaks in between the lessons. And most of the students only go to the toilet because 10 minutes are not long enough to do anything. Now here is the problem, how these students will move and regain their focus? Physical Education lessons come to aid this situation, even though they are not much in lesson time they do have many benefits. According to a research the main benefits of physical education is it develops st...
Student interaction's playing a big role in learning is an undeniable fact in 21st century. Are you one of the teachers that still follows teacher-based learning styles? If so, don't you think it's time for a change? Because it is known that peer interaction contributes a lot to students' learning process. There are some ways to increase this interaction and decrease your talking time in the class. Firstly, you can let students ask each other questions related to the topic, or the subject you are teaching. Create some opportunities for them to interact with each other. Do pair-work and teamwork activities, let them do projects together. Moreover, student interaction is enjoyable for the students so you will get more of your lesson.
