During my academic years I have always imagined myself teaching in a class where students learn by having fun during the learning process. In a class where students act as in their natural habitat (they are themselves) , they are not seated in rows, they are not asked to be quiet or to pay attention even when the lesson it's not interesting. I imagined myself conducting a class where students collaborate with each-other by the use of different strategies that will make them more friendly, more attentive and more sensitive towards one another. I found the learning methods I have always imagined in the Kagan Structures. In the Kagan Cooperative Learning-Structures students are actively engaged in the learning process, they enjoy working together, they celebrate each-other's successes and this is quite different from individual and competitive learning, totally different from the traditional aproach. Students move around and they get their brain thinking. Kagan Structures bring very positive results on the students development, they enhance social skills and social relations, improve test results and increase liking for school from students. This aproach is also beneficial for teachers because the Kagan Structures are easy to be implemented in the learning process and it gives teachers more satisfaction seeing their students improve by being themselves.
I probably wrote a lot but the videos inspired me to write everything that I think it's important to be taken into consideration during the learning process. Have a nice week everyone! 😀😁☺😉
