Today I am
going to write about interaction in class. I would like to become a teacher of
secondary school and I think is necessary to use methodologies based on
cooperative learning to motivate the students. Some of the things I would like
to do:
•
To
encourage the students to make work in groups, and then they should explain the
other students what they have learned, what it was the more difficult and why.
The work should treat about issues related to the subject, issues that they can
apply in their real lifes.
•
The
groups should be heterogeneous to foster that all the members give their
opinions. The discussions will be longer and it will allow them learning how to
express opinions and to respect the opinion of their partners.3
•
The
teacher can form the groups, or the pupils can do it themselves. It will depend
on the ages of the pupils but it is necessary to avoid that they choose
according to their academic performance.
•
The
teacher can give the material to the students like a puzzle. The purpose is that
every student work in a part of the puzzle and then he must explain to the
others to make a whole, where every member have to collaborate.
•
The
teacher must notice the interactions and he has to work as an advisor when the
problems come.
•
The
teacher must assess the work of the group and which it has been the input of
every student to the work
•
Finally
the teacher should listen the pupils to see if they like the way of working and
what they will do to improve the performance
