LEARNING EXPERIENCE. ✍🏻

MY LEARNING EXPERIENCE 🔍

According to John Dewey, "All genuine learning comes through experience." After attending the ICT class for three months, I have learned a great deal about the value of ICT in a variety of sectors. Learning about the situating tool was one of the more intriguing facts I took away from all of this.

The situating tool is an application that helps to situate learners’ in an environment to experience the context and happenings. For Examples: 1. Simulations (flight, farming, surgery, environment, driving, History City) 2. Virtual Reality (VR). Simulations are programs (associated with constructivism) that teach strategies and rules which are made to appeal-life situations. It situates the user in the environment, comprehend & manipulate variables, foster creativity & visualization skills, and integrate into teaching-learning.

How will I use it in teaching?

I will employ simulations to improve learning when obtaining a certain real-life experience or understanding a particular topic is impossible or challenging. According to my observations, science classes are a little challenging for all of the pupils. Studying the anatomy of teeth, the human body, surgical techniques, and the states of matter, for instance, are abstract concepts. These are significant topics for the student because, unlike other disciplines, we cannot take a field trip and visit the facility where surgery is performed. I would use simulation tools to demonstrate how surgery is performed step by step in order to make the instruction thorough. By doing this, I can place the students in a virtual setting and help them develop their visualization abilities.

I would have chosen science if my high school instructor had used this technique at the time. I might have realized my dream of becoming a doctor instead of entering the teaching profession. Of course, entering the teaching profession has turned out to be a blessing for me. Despite the fact that I was unable to become a doctor, I have the ability to mold my pupils and produce a large number of accomplished doctors around the nation. Being a teacher would be one of my greatest accomplishments.

According to Benjamin Franklin, who stated, "Tell me and I forget; teach me and I may remember; involve me and I learn," I would like to let my pupils be as involved in learning as possible in order to have a brighter future for them. In retrospect, I was raised in a classroom where I hardly ever saw ICT. In contrast to my previous learning experiences, I won't allow my children to be in the dark today. Simply pulling them up and employing this situational tool can make learning more successful.
