When you become a teacher of any subject you use different styles of teachings that reflect you as a teacher and the lesson you are trying to teach. Sometimes it can be difficult to find what styles may work best in different situations. When teaching physical education the most helpful and beneficial styles are indirect, direct, and interactive teaching. These teaching styles are critical when trying to teach physical education because they are proven to be effective. These styles will help make you an effective teacher because of the way they allow you to control and manage the information being taught. When teaching physical education these styles when incorporate to your class make you a more affective teacher. These three styles allow you to accomplish different things in your class room and different types of teaching methods. These styles are important to not only know but to master, so you as a teacher can be effective.
Indirect teaching brings the class together and allows students to learn from each other and share knowledge as they learn. Indirect teaching by definition relies “instruction seeks a high level of student involvement in observing, investigating, drawing inferences from data, or forming hypotheses. It takes advantage of students' interest and curiosity, often encouraging them to generate alternatives or solve problems”(5). This kind of teaching strategy allows you to build a community in your class room by having your students speak and communicate to not only you but to other students. In physical education you may not be doing group projects or anything like that, but you can have group discussions because you will have students who know more about an activity or sport then others.

...stand what is being taught. Teaching and learning styles are not always equally matched so it is up to the individual learning to try and obtain a bit of information on each style of learning that they may have to encounter. Each person should strive to understand their own style and continue to improve it as well as adapt to
As a physical educator I believe I would practice critical constructivism with a main focus on the social learning theory. Seeing that I find myself to be a better visual learner I think that its only right that I express that onto the children I teach. I think that this theory is perfect for physical education because before every lesson there should be a demonstration of the lesson that is being taught. This gives the students a good visual representation of the proper way to do what is being asked and should help with questions that they have. There is also the ability for me to allow other students to demonstrate and help their classmates with problems they may be having. I believe that its good to not always hear things from the same person and allowing other people to step in give their thoughts and ideas on any particular subject. I think this breeds learni...
Talking about the concept of “teaching” leading us unconsciously to talk about the concept of “ learning” and vice versa. In general, learning and teaching associated with each other. The high achievements of one of these cognitive operations means the success to another. On the other hand, the failure of one of them implies the fall of the other one. Successful and effective teacher, who concentrate on two essential matters. First, teachers should learn about the principles of learning and teaching to know how to teach. However, One of the most substantial affairs is learning styles and strategies.
There are no two teachers who have the exact same teaching styles. They may be similar but there is always a characteristic that differentiates them. The way teachers interact with their students determines how successful the student will be in that course. A teacher that can relate and make learning interesting for a student will improve how well the student performs.
To that end, I have several areas of interest that I predict will inform my personal teaching style. I am interested in practices that are accessible and inclusive. I am interested in how information is transferred between a student and a teacher and how that information reinforces power structures in
Cooperative learning has been discussed by Kagan & Spencer, (1994) as teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. The World Education Inc. (2009) said it refers to teaching practices that provide opportunities to students to learn together in small groups. This means that students work together to accomplish learning outcomes, therefore this is a collaborative effort or social approach to learning. To name but a few techniques, under this method as listed by Kagan &
Everyone has a different way of teaching, but in the end, the method should help the students learn. In the
In order to be an effective teacher there needs to be an understanding that we all learn differently, this means that no single teaching strategy is effective for all students/learners all the time. This makes teaching a complex process because you need to understand and meet the requirements of all of your learners. Students learn best when they aren’t asked to simply memorise information but when they form their own understandings of what is being taught. When a student has successfully learnt a new idea they are able to then intergrate this information with their previously learnt information and make sense of it. To be an effective teacher you need to work jointly with students to asses where they are at, be able to give feedback on how the student is going and ensure that they are understanding the lesson (Killen, 2013) According to Lovat and Smith (2003) students learning must result in a change in a student’s understanding of the information being taught. In order to show understanding they must be able to share this information with others and want to learn more (Killen, 2013). In order to have a deeper understanding of what is being taught they need to be aware of the relationship that exists between what they knew previously and the new information that is being learned (Killen, 2013).. Students need to be given goals that they can achieve in order to feel a sense of mastery over their own learning, this gives students motivation that they are able to complete tasks and to keep going.
Every teacher has a different method of teaching. The teachers that I have had in my school career have been no exception. In this way, each teacher has set an example for me, as a future teacher, to follow or not to follow as I see fit. With the examples from my teachers and in continuing my education, I am developing my own method of teaching. I plan to use a combination of teaching methods in my own classroom. My method will be an eclectic approach because I will be using components of more than one philosophy. I will be using essentialism, behaviorism, progressivism, and existentialism.
Teaching styles tend to conform to the grade level that is being taught. I prefer being the only one in charge, but I do want my students to be actively involved.
In today’s physical eduction world, there are a wide variety of ways to teach in a classroom. Every single student that enters a classroom has a different way of understanding things and each one has a different and unique way to learn information. This is true in every classroom, especially in the P.E. classroom. Each teacher may have a specific preference on how they want to teach their students, but in order for students to enjoy and learn about different aspects of P.E. each teaching style should be introduced. One of the many teaching styles is called Games for Understanding. This is not a commonly used style within the P.E. classroom but teachers should definitely start to get familiar with it.
Everyone has different learning styles. Learning styles are important because they help you better understand materials in classes. They are there to guide you and become a better student. Learning styles help you better grasp the material and better process it through your brain. When learning you want to do what is most beneficial for you. That is why there is many different learning styles to suit every person. There is three different types of learning styles categorized. The first learning style is auditory. Auditory is meant for individuals that enjoy asking questions, talking and listening, as well as like to read out loud. Visual learners are more interested in charts, graphs, neat surroundings, seeing rather than hearing, and are pictured to be timid as they read to themselves rather than out loud. Finally there is the kinesthetic learning style. Kinesthetic is to touch, to feel, and usually learn by doing.
Thought out our lives, we are faced with many different learning experiences. Some of these experiences have made a better impact than others. This can be attributed to everyone’s different multiple intelligences or learning styles. A persons learning style is the method though which they gain information about their environment. As a teacher, it is our responsibility to know these styles, so we can reach each of our students and use all of the necessary methods.
When it comes to teaching, there are many different ways and types of methods you can use to teach your students. One of the most common ways of teaching is by using Sport Education. This type of teaching style is best used for elementary students. According to Daryl Siedentop, a professor from Ohio State University believes that class should teach kids about skills, teamwork, and the importance behind each sport or activity. Sport Education recreates the meaning behind gym class.
We need to continuously assess and evaluate our students so we can set appropriate goals for each student and individual instructions. Each child learns different, so as a teacher we need to have different styles of teaching for positive reinforcement.
