Learning needs and challanges
Motivation
Some students don't feel motivated to partcipate by raising hands
Students engage well with games and interactive activities (Tanner, 2013)
Students tend to enjoy some level of competition (Tanner, 2013)
Questions that are too challanging or too easy can be detrimental to engagement, motivation and participation (Tanner, 2013)
Activity-based learning and immediate feedback enhance engagement.
Large class size
Large class size creates significant time constraints
Large classrooms can be challanging in terms of discipline managament
Unbiased eliciting
Cold calling puts students on a spot and is stresful, which may lead to them not engaging with a lesson (Tanner, 2013)
The classroom can be dominated by overachievers, with some students being shy or hesitant to participate.
Teacher bias, intentional or unintentional, can be present during the manual eliciting (Kaplan, 2007)
Short attention span
Frequent changes in activities help students stay focussed and engaged
Visual aids help break up monotony and re-engage students (Tanner, 2013)
Active participation through games and practical exercises sustains attention (Tanner, 2013)
Varying skills and knowledge
Group tasks and assessment can be beneficial for both under and over achievers (Jonson, 2014)
Pairing less proficient students with more proficient ones tends to have beneficial effect on learning (Jonson, 2014)
Tailored questions and activities based on individual performance can help students achieve learning objectives (Tanner, 2013)
Pairing stronger students with those needing support fosters a collaborative environment (Jonson, 2014)
Assessment and feedback
Large number of students create the need for quick and brief evaluation and feedback
Fair assessment requires personalization of tasks due to varying skills in the classroom (Tanner, 2013)
