Reflect

1. Among the principles of learning, which one is the most important for you? Substantiate your answer.

 For me to become an effective teacher you need all these principles of learning to serve
total knowledge and be able to give the best learning experience for my student. That’s why
I need all the and not just one principle. For each principle we must incorporate necessary
teaching techniques to ensure active participation, collaboration and lastly the learning
environment that is appropriate for the learners.

2. What insight did you learn from the class activities that you have observed?

 I’ve learned that I should maintain a positive approach in learning. Keep learners engaged in
every activity and make sure that all your learners can actively participate in and gain
knowledge. We must consider the relevance of the activity to your topic or lesson. I must
also contemplate our learner’s diversity when it comes to their learning capabilities.
