Module 7 | Design challenging teaching activities | FNWI
How do you create lessons that will activate your students? And how do you make sure the students take away from your lessons what is most important? And how do you design lessons that help the students construct the knowledge in the steps they need, so they will reach the learning goals of the course?
Course description
Key module
As a beginning teacher, most of your classes will probably already have been designed. However, you usually have the space to alter the teaching activities within your lessons. Especially if it helps to activate your students to learn the material. In this module we will teach you the basic principles of class design and how people learn. After this module the concepts of Constructive Alignment, Blooms taxonomy and Active Learning will all be known to you and you will know why and how to use them to design challenging teaching activities for your students.
