Instructional Strategies

In my Transdisciplinary teaching, I have used many different instruction strategies. Since my subject is a comprehensive and rich, my teaching strategies need to be diverse and novel.

Introduce about book plan

Here, I first set up a goal and direction to the student, tell students that what they need to do and give students a clear direction, which is directly but also in the teaching process I used the scaffolding instruction. After all it is a very challenging project, students need encouragement, so I will complex task is decomposed into more easily, more "practical" steps, to promote student achievement.

This is the response from the student, who said the name of the story book. This would indicate that they understood the instructions.

This is the step-by-step teaching that I break down. This is the first page of the book, students need to introduce who is in their family. I gave students a step-by-step guide, and I used nonlinguistic representations here. In addition to making sentences, students can also draw pictures to represent their family.

This is the middle part of the book, after students explain who is in the family roughly and introduce who is in the family in detail, they progress to the part of family activities. This part is the opportunity for students to play and create freely, students can draw pictures, they can write sentences and so on. At the same time, it can be seen that the teacher gives the students excellent cards, which is a way to encourage the students.

Reinforcing Effort & rewards

When students do a good job on their homework, teacher will give students this "terrific ticket" as a reward and encouragement. Students who collect 10 can redeem real prizes, toys or gifts.

Promoting student metacognition

After the students finish the study, they make a summary, cognition and understanding of this unit. And make a feedback on their own learning status.

Onsite- Classroom

In the second stage of learning, the school started hybrid learning. Fortunately, all the students in my class came to school, which provided me with more teaching methods.

Similarly, as in unit 1, I also used different instruction such as setting goals and inquiry to introduce new knowledge in Unit 2. They also engage in interesting interactions in class by asking questions and giving hints. At the same time, with the help of video, let students more easily understand new knowledge.

Summarizing & note taking

There are two themes here. The first video is about introducing people in the neighborhood, interviewing and understanding who the neighbors are, where they live and what they do. Finally, students make a report and feedback.

The following videos show students looking for neighborhood or neighborhood street signs and explaining them.

GAME

Different games give students more opportunities to practice new knowledge and help students identify similarities and differences.

Cooperative and individualized instruction

When students are in school, they have more opportunities to cooperate. Before, students could only do it by themselves or with the help of their parents at home, but at school teachers can create more cooperative work for students. Like helping each other make map. At the same time, individualized teaching is more convenient for students in school. In unit 2, students have two books for intensive reading and study respectively. In this process, I can use individualized instruction in class, for I can know all the kids ability better.
