Ben,
Here’s my feedback to your composition.
Never will I forget the trip I went to
Ben,
Here’s my feedback to your composition.
Never will I forget the trip I went to
The following is a passage from Chicken Soup for the Soul: Living your Dreams:
“The thing that most separates winners from losers in life is that winners take action. If you want to live your dreams, not only must you decide what you want, turn your dream into measurable goals, break those goals down into specific action steps, and visualize and affirm your desired outcomes–you must start taking action.”
For those who really want to go to your dream university, study as hard as you can. However, what’s more important is that you have to enjoy what you are doing, with the thought that you are growing more knowledgeable and wiser every day.
Before the exam, do your best; after the exam, leave everything to God.
吳校長總會在開會的時候發表一些對教育的看法,今天的期末校務會議自不例外。我很喜歡聽他講話,總會得到一些啟發。現在有blog供我記載,真好。一方面可以分享,一方面我以後可以拿出來溫習。今天他講到教學法中常用的講述法,要點如下:
一、講述法的優點:
1. 有系統 。
2. 提供學生扼要概念。
二、講述法注意事項:
1. 扼要、流暢、音調要有高低、抑揚頓挫。
2. 配合教具(teaching aids),如圖表、甚至表演,效果更佳。
3. 多發一些補充資料如講義習作等,辜學生課後複習。
4. 注意時間上的掌控:
(1) 上課前段20分鐘(上升階段):告訴學生本節課的重點單元目標等。
(2) 上課中段20分鐘(衰退期):做學習單、問答、或操作。
(3) 上課後段10分鐘(精神振奮期):可做重點複習。
三、可與下列教學法交錯運用:
1. 討論教學法:先設計好題目,邊講邊問。
2. 詰問教學法:適合年紀大一點、有思想力的學生。
3. 分組教學法。
此外吳校長更談到如何引起學生學習動機,首先,他認為影響學生學習動機的因素有三:
1. 科目 2. 學生本身程度 3. 老師
其次他談到為了引起學生學習動機,老師可以試試下列三點:
1. 瞭解孩子的位置。吳校長以自己為例,談到以前當導師時,第一週一定先跟每個學生做半小時以上的個別談話;非導師時,除了從筆試評量,另以一對一對談方式瞭解學生。
2. 分數不要給得太苛。這不意味分數給得很鬆,而是不要斤斤計較一兩分;在平常分數上可以多給予鼓勵。
3. 善用「胡蘿蔔和棍子」原則。平常表現不好的學生,忽然考好,就好好給予獎勵。吳校長說到他以前有時甚至跑到Costco買個雞肉捲,給學生做為鼓勵。(哇!這倒是蠻吸引人的鼓勵。)
最後,吳校長說其實所有的師裡,當老師最好,因為你面對的是一群青春洋溢的學生。想想還真對呢!
P. S. It’s very tiring to blog in Chinese. For each character, I have to hit at three keys on the computer. What’s worse, there is no Chinese punctuation mark on the keyboard; I’ve got to find on the screen the mark on a small pad provided by the Chinese input system I use. However, in order to share the information with more people, I’m more than willing to do it.
早上邊打成績邊聽收音機,剛好聽到98.1王文華的不敗地球人。今天他談論到的人物是聯發科的創辦人蔡明介。他是台大化工系轉電機系。其之所以成功有五大因素:
1. 他喜歡讀書。即使在去美國的飛機上,也會帶好幾本平常沒時間看的書閱讀。
2. 擁有成功的人才庫,這些人才年輕時就開始被培養。
3. 無為而治。相信人性本善,給予員工相當大的自由。例如:員工只要申請加班費便照給。
4. 不做 Me, too。
5. 形式低調,不喜歡太過曝光,不常演講。
The English final exam is quite easy. Yu-chi (王郁琦) in 314 even got a 100. However, there are still students who got below 50. A mid-term or a final exam is an achievement test. As long as the students are familiar with the material the test covers, they should get quite good grades. It’s unlike a proficiency test, such as TOEFL and TOEIC, which is intended to test students’ real ability in English.
When I was reading students’ compositions, I came across a beautiful sentence. The topic of the composition is “What Makes a Good Friend?” And here is a sentence appearing at the end of the composition by Tsai-hsiuen (沈采萱): If we can find true friends during our life, then we already see the most beautiful scene in our life.
I changed its last part into: then we already see one of the most beautiful scenes in our life. I know for teenagers friends are everything; however, to me, the love among family members, the affection between teachers and students, the compassion for people in need, a random act of kindness, these are all the most beautiful scenes in our life. In fact, I can list more.
