Hello!
Semester one is already running for each of my classmates and me and along with that, this semester will be dedicated to Practicum II to Adolescents!
"Learning is an ongoing experience, that occurs in every stage of our lives".
Teens Backgroud Info
I was asked toexplain what kind of background I had before this day about teens. I will tell some of the information I have since my youngest brother is a teen.
- Based on that, I see that he is rebell. His behaviour is kind of normal, respecting the fact that I was a teen too. However, I see that he does not respect the rules that we desired him to follow at home. This typical behaviour includes that he likes to do whatever he likes and he wants to do it the way he wants. Since they start to become let's say, more independent from the adults around them.
- They also like to perform the task individually. Depending how they have been raised, much of these teens tend to live and do individually. This behaviour is acceptable and expected from adults. The variations on behaviours will vary.
- They like to be unique, but at the same time they like to dress like the people they admire to. This way of seeing themselves as unique human beings is tipical, though they love to admire those famous celebrities and we can say that they are always biased to do so. This is normal, too.
- They loose their temper easily. They are living many things around their emotions, thoughts, physical changes and we might say that they are teasing us, but this behaviour is totally normal.
- Parents also are a great source of information and some teens rely on. Some of them are not that close in this stage, because they like to be like hidden in their own bedroom doing other things like chatting with friends.
My expectations for this course
I would like from this experience:
- To create better lessons that involve interaction among students. Lessons that are meaningful for their learning.
- To integrate my knowledge of techniques and methods to this teaching experience.
- To manage more the classroom management in my classsroom.
- To create a nice environment for the students, so that they learn at best.
- To have a nice and unforgettable experience throughtout the module with the students. Since learning occurs most of the time in the "hands-ond" stage and I am already in that stage.
