role of the teacher
transforms the role of the teacher in the course of open work forms of "instruction" to the "organizers and volunteers. Students are served up not a pre-knowledge, but they themselves should do research to discover and understand. They should see themselves as responsible actors themselves learning "(Lange, 2004, p.174.).
The preparation and handling of subjects is an important part in teaching. Of great significance, it is an issue for the different types of learners to process and provide the learning materials in various aspects of the learning stations.
During the class time is the teacher "consultants and assistants and will support the students in their learning process. "Learning at Stations" allow the teacher to individual students to address and observe the way people work.
leave after Bauer The following opportunities for the teacher to demonstrate by this method (see Bauer, 1997, p. 28 / 29):
- The direct pressure to act in the classroom is reduced.
- Does the teacher more opportunities to detached observation.
- The teacher has more design opportunities for productive work of the children.
- The teacher has more opportunities to remove them from the center of curricular events.
- Direct load (energy expenditure) in the classroom is lower. Intensive preparations are time consuming, but not as energy consuming as teacher-centered lessons.
It can, however, still find many Opportunities and possibilities for teaching and related risks. In my opinion, one should consider the following decision problems and know to apply the necessary patience.
- The direct and constant review of the children is not possible.
- The overview of the performance level of the class will eventually be lost temporarily.
- parents may get a temporary difficulty with this type of teaching work and the teacher has to justify himself.
- The performance measurement is difficult, at least it seems so.
- activity and responsibility must be handed in, which is difficult for many.
organization
to external design, the classroom design can be said that it needs no special arrangement of the tables, but you need storage space for the station cards and worksheets. Suitable for this window sills, bulletin boards, surplus desks or chairs and shelves. The organization and delivery of work orders, eg in storage baskets is important for the smooth running of the station work.
The assignments of the stations may be provided in various forms, such as a written work instruction, test setups, references to books or sketches with challenging character. (See Bauer, 1997, p. 46)
Further organizational issues are the attachment of signs and numbers, cards that the students are already visible from her seat and provide a guide. Equally helpful to the students not to use tables as a station, so that stations can stay up longer term and the students at the beginning is just keeping a permanent job. (See Bauer, 1997, p. 48ff.)
Since the students from the beginning all work orders are available, and are not purely passed piecemeal, it is advisable to prepare docket so that the students an overview and be able to document their learning progress.
Conclusion
The strength of the "Learning at Stations" is the way all students teaching content and learning objectives can be the same without the Ways need to be standardized.
responsibility for their own learning process can give the teachers gradually and type according to the students.
The art of teaching it "as a teacher to become superfluous" (Bauer, 1997, p. 29).
