Topic outline

    • Instructions:

      • Watch the two videos on the teaching observations section.
      • Observe teaching and focus on interaction.
      • Note down at least the following: How do you see interaction in (recorded) teaching? How was it created? How the teacher took into account students who watch remote teaching?  What approaches were used? Which aspects you found supported students' learning process? You can add reflections and insights of your own. 
      • Use the reflection form for this; it appears below this text after clicking on the title of this box. 
      • Although you use the framework given in the form to write on this video observation, you can also reflect on the teaching situation by also thinking about the issues on interaction and feedback that we discussed in the classroom (our slides are visible in MyCourses). 
      • Return the reflection form containing your observations and reflections to this submission box.  This is an individual assignment.
      This activity is automatically marked as completed when you submit the assignment. Teachers grade the submission later.



      • Instructions:

        • During this course, you will observe a teaching session (min 45min) of one of your peers of this course.
        • Please fill in the Excel spreadsheet so you can offer a place for someone to observe your teaching and you can find a teaching session to observe for yourself.
        • Focus on the students and note down at least the following
        1. What do the students do? 
        2. How does the teacher and/or teaching assistant motivate them? Pay also attention on how teacher motivate and engage students; what does the teacher say and do.
        3. Pay attention on teacher's way to activate students during the session. Are there teaching methods or learning activities used which keep students involved? How the teacher keeps students alert during the teaching?
        • Return the observation form containing your observations and reflections. The form has generic instructions on points to pay attention to when observing a teaching session. You may follow these instructions to expand your observation but remember that your task this time is to focus on student activity and how the teacher motivates the students. Submit your form to the submission box. Your submission is visible only to the course teachers. 
        This activity is automatically marked as completed when you submit the assignment. Teachers grade the submission later.
