【正文】 logue in the Social Constructivist approach to teaching: “... As I worked with him [in a lesson on the human eye] I asked him to put more terms to his descriptions. For example, ?it has a lot of water inside eye…? I asked him what the water was, then he labeled it as vitreous humor. I was pleased with his responses, because it showed that he had fully grasped the terms and their placement in the eye. His descriptive terms also showed me that he was processing the information in a way that was fun for him, therefore leading to continued interest.” Mathematics Example ? Sometimes the EndofClass Reflection can reveal learning that goes beyond the content objectives. In the following example, the teacher had the students set up a “Math Exhibit”. ? At the end of the activity, she asked the students to list three things they learned. Mathematics Example Student 1: 1. I think that our exhibit is exciting and more interesting 2. I like the way the games and brochures were shown! Its? unique. 3. I thought it take only about one hour to decorate the display but it took us two hours and 30 minutes to do it! It?s challenging and lot of team work, especially the munication! I was amazed that how well we did cooperate and the situation was handled like a mature young adult! About time! Mathematics Example ? In this example, the first two points are not very helpful, but the third point shows that the student had learned something important about “team work.” Biology Example: Canning Food Three things I learned: 1. When I go to shopping I have to look at the jar and date. 2. When I feel like pop pop pop that was not good. When I feel not pop pop pop that was good (bulging jar/can) 3. When I smell the fruit or food in jar. If that smelled good that?s fine. But if it smells bad. I don?t taste the fruit or food. 4. If I look the bacteria I will throw away. Biology Example: Canning Food ? This teacher also experimented with having students ask questions (for the next class) after the lesson was over. Biology Example: Canning Food Three things I learned: 1. When I go to shopping I have to look at the jar and date. 2. When I feel like pop pop pop that was not good. When I feel not pop pop pop that was good (bulging jar/can) 3. 3. When I smell the fruit or food in jar. If that smelled good that?s fine. But if it smells bad. I don?t taste the fruit or food. 4. If I look the bacteria I will throw away. Questions What causes the bulge? How do bacteria get inside close can? How people clean the metal can? Social Studies Example: “Social Class” ? I learned from the paper that the lower class is aware of things, but try to overe things that separate the high class and lower class. ? I learned from the group to listen to other opinions and not to judge it. And that your opionion is yours, but does not neccessaryly mean it?s correct. Summary What teachers learned after using the EndofClass Reflection ? Instructions: Be very clear with instructional prompts, and have patience. Don?t give up if the approach doesn?t seem to work at first. ? End of Semester: Avoid trying to use the EndofClass Reflection for a full course. There are too many topics. ? FollowUp: As with other writingtolearn strategies, followup dialogue is critical to teac
