• BAGAIMANA BERKESAN PUN SEORANG GURU
– AKAN ADA LEARNING GAP
( PERBEZAAN ANTARA CARA OTAK DIGUNAKAN
DALAM PROSES PEMBELAJARAN DAN CARA
PELAJAR DIAJAR DALAM KELAS )
EXAMPLES
• KINESTHETIC LEARNING
( NATURAL AND HIGHLY EFFICIENT
CONTEXTUAL MEMORY )
MELALUI AKTIVITI PEMBELAJARAN YANG
HANYA MEMBACA, MENULIS DAN
MENDENGAR

THE QUALITY OF TEACHING
HOLDS THE KEY TO IMPROVING LEARNING
AND RAISING ATTAINMENT
OFSTED FINDINGS
THE QUALITY OF TEACHING BEING
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH CORRELATE WITH
GOOD AND VERY GOOD SCHOOLS
THIS
RELATIONSHIP
RECOGNISED
IS WIDELY
PROFESSOR DAVID REYNOLDS
THE TEACHERS MAKE BETWEEN 3 OR 4 TIMES THE
DIFFERENCE TO ATTAINMENT THAN THE SCHOOL ITSELF
IT IS TEACHERS AND THE WAY THEY
TEACH THAT IS THE MAJOR INFLUENCE
UPON HOW EFFECTIVELY CHILDREN
LEARN
CLOSING THE LEARNING GAP
• ATTITUDE AND MENTALITY OF A RUNNER OR
SPRINTER
ALWAYS SEEKING FOR THEIR PERSONAL BEST
( ALWAYS SCOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT )

NEED PROVEN AND PRACTICAL
STRATEGIES THAT WILL WORK IN
CLASSROOM
LESSON ARE FOR LEARNING
CHILDREN SHOULD LEAVE THE CLASSROOM AT
THE END OF THE LESSON KNOWING,
UNDERSTANDING AND BEING ABLE TO DO
MORE THAN WHEN THEY CAME IN.
IF WE ACHIEVE THAT, THEN WE ARE DOING OUR
JOB
WHAT HAVE THEY LEARNED ?
LESSONS ARE FOR LEARNING

LESSON FOR LEARNING
LEARNING INVOLVES MEMORY AND
UNDERSTANDING
NOT PRODUCING COPIOUS NOTES
NOT AS BEING OCCUPIED
WITH EXERCISES SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED
L =U+M
L=U+M
UNDERSTANDING CAN PROMOTE MEMORY
UNDERSTANDING IS THE PRODUCT OF
RECEIVING INFORMATION
EXPLORING IT
MANIPULATING IT
THINK ABOUT IT
L=U+M
( nurture & develop)
UNDERSTANDING AND MEMORY
ARE SEPARATE PROCESSES
PEOPLE WILL FORGET AS MUCH AS
80 % OF THE INFORMATION
THAT THEY ENCOUNTER WITHIN
24 HOURS ( NATURAL PROCESSES )
BRAIN IS NOT DESIGNED TO ABSORB
KEEP LEARNING HIGH-PROFILE

LEARNING IS DONE BY PEOPLE, NOT
TO THEM,FOR
UNDERSTANDING IS THE PRODUCT OF
DOING RATHER THAN RECEIVING
Asking questions is
fundamental
to developing understanding
Asking questions without fear
of ambarassment is crucial to
protecting self esteem
MORE STRATEGIES WE EMPLOY WILL
ENABLE CHILDREN TO SEEK
CLARIFICATION WITHOUT
FEAR OF RIDICULE, THE
MORE LIKELY IT IS THAT THEY WILL
LEARN EFFECTIVELY
KEYS TO EFFECTIVE LEARNING
STATE
STYLE
STRUCTURE
STATE
PEOPLE LEARN BEST WHEN THEY ARE
IN AN APPROPRIATE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
STATE.
LEARNING IS OPTIMISED WHEN
THE BRAIN IS NOURISHED
AND
STUDENTS ARE RELAXED, CONFIDENT AND
MOTIVATED
THE SELF BELIEF AND THE
DESIRE OF THE STUDENT IS
UNDOUBTEDLY THE HARDEST
THING FOR A TEACHER TO
INFLUENCE
HOWEVER, A POSITIVE
INFLUENCE ON THE
EMOTIONAL STATE OF THE
LEARNER WILL HAVE THE
GREATEST IMPACT UPON
LEARNING
MOTIVATION POLICY ?
HEAD OF SELF ESTEEM ?
STYLE
PEOPLE LEARN BEST IN DIFFERENT WAYS
FOR MAXIMUM PROGRESS,
PEOPLE MUST HAVE FREQUENT
OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK IN THEIR
PREFERRED LEARNING STYLE
STRUCTURE
MATURE SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS PROGRESS
THROUGH DISCRETE PHASES OF
LEARNING QUITE NATURALLY.
LESSONS SHOULD BE STRUCTURED
TO REFLECT THESE STAGES, IN
ORDER TO GUIDE IMMATURE
LEARNERS THROUGH THE
LEARNING PROCESS
IF A TEACHER’S JOB IS
TO HELP STUDENTS LEARN, THEN THE
FIRST TASK OF
THE TEACHER MUST BE TO ENSURE
THAT
STUDENTS ARE IN AN APPROPRIATE
STATE TO LEARN
WE HAVE NO CONTROL
OVER THE STATE IN WHICH
STUDENTS ARRIVE AT OUR LESSON
WE HAVE TOTAL CONTROL
OVER OUR RESPONSES
