Assessment 1 - Investigation into Pedagogy for Teaching Psychology…

- - - - ANNOTATION - In addition to facilitating inquiry-based learning, this structure also supports collaborative learning as students are learning from one another. I believe this will also allow students to develop their listening and oral skills. Although this activity is flexible and can be used for multiple topics, an example of how I would use this activity in my future lessons would be to use a project based approach to investigating prejudice as suggested in Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (2015) advice for teachers document . I would allocate an essential question to each group to prompt discussion on prejudice where the envoy communicates their group discussion points to the other groups.
- - - - ANNOTATION: reflecting on my experience as a VCE Psychology student my teachers did not explicitly state learning intentions and success criteria. I believe I would have benefitted with having my teacher tell me what is expected of me to learn before the class and how I could have achieved that because without those being stated at the start of the lesson I did not question if i had achieved anything suring the lesson.
- - - - ANNOTATION: I can relate to this as in year 11 and 12 maths I remember adapting to my teacher's way of reasoning through mathematical problems. As I remember the effectiveness of observing and "mirroring" my teacher's higher order thinking, I will be sure to implement demonstration of critical thinking skills in my teaching.
- - - - ANNOTATION: as a preservice teacher in my secondary school placement, I also did not understand that think time is equally as important as questioning. In hindsight, I remember students contributing answers that were very close to the working and structure found in their textbooks suggesting that they failed to contribute their own thoughts and opinions. In the future, I wish to focus more on providing think time to gain a deeper level of answers from my students, and I also plan to improve more on asking different stduents to contribute by using the round robin activity to engage all the student and allow them to formulate their own answers.
