Effective Teaching Cpu
- 1. Teaching Geology Catherine C. Abon National Institute of Geological Sciences UP-Diliman
- 2. Responsibilities of a teacher The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton
- 3. Organizing a topic Regardless of the method , the topic should be properly organized. http://www.dynamicflight.com/avcfibook/methods/ 1. Introduction
- 4. The main part of the lesson develops the subject matter in a manner that helps the students achieve the desired learning outcomes E.g. simple to complex , known to unknown , past to present Organizing a topic 2. Development
- 5. Organizing a topic review and wrap-up of ideas reinforces student learning and improves the retention of what has been learned 3. Conclusion
- 6. Methods of Teaching Lecture Cooperative or Group Learning Guided Discussion Demonstration-Performance Computer-based Training
- 7. Geology as a course Important in understanding Earth’s history and processes Know what are the resources that can be obtained from the earth
- 8. the relevance of time the issue of scale the complexity of replicating natural systems and phenomena in the laboratory GEOLOGY AS A DISCIPLINE
- 9. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught Through lectures and discussion using powerpoint E.g. Basic concepts in the history of Geology 1. Uniformitarianism 2. Catastrophism
- 10. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught E.g. Branches of Geology Through guided discussion Historical Geology Paleontology Stratigraphy Geochronology Physical Geology Volcanology, Seismology Environmental Geology, Engineering Geology Mining Geology, Petroleum Geology Mineralogy, Petrology Geomorphology Geophysics, Geochemistry, Planetary Geology
- 11. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught By using colorful pictures, actual samples and demonstrations E.g. Minerals/Rocks
- 12. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MINERALS
- 13. Color caused by the absorption, or lack of absorption, of various wavelengths of light malachite fluorite
- 15. Streak - the color of a mineral in powdered form
- 16. the shapes and aggregates that a certain mineral is likely to form fibrous acicular platy Crystal Habit
- 17. the tendency of a mineral to break in particular directions due to zones of weakness in the crystal structure Fractures or irregular breakages occur when bond strengths in a crystal structure is equal in all directions. cleavage in 3 directions conchoidal fracture Cleavage
- 18. the ability of minerals to reflect light metallic non-metallic glassy earthy Luster
- 19. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught Use of Illustrations and motion films E.g. Plate Tectonics theory - The unifying theory of geology - All geological features and processes are related
- 20. PANGAEA Gondwanaland Laurasia See how it works !
- 21. Evidence for Continental Drift Jigsaw puzzle fit Present-day continents South America Africa
- 22. Evidence for Continental Drift Fossils Africa
- 23. Evidence for Continental Drift Paleoclimatic (ancient climate) evidence coal forms under tropical climates Why do we have coal deposits in the Antarctica? Antarctica must have been situated closer to the equator, in a more temperate climate where lush, swampy vegetation could grow.
- 24. Evidence for Continental Drift Rock type and structural similarities rocks found in one continent closely match (in age and type) those rocks found in the matching continent
- 25. Continental Drift: Summary Fit of continents Fossil evidence Rock type and structural similarities Paleoclimatic evidence
- 26. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught Use of short films for topic introduction and mood setting E.g. Groundwater Click here to be surprised!!
- 27. Some topics in Geology and how they are taught Use of real life examples and of personal experiences (these enhances the appreciation of the students add to the teacher’s credibility on the subject) E.g. Mass wasting/ Deformations
- 30. Who’s fault is it?
- 31. Beaching around!
- 32. Some other Methods Field trips Film showing Reporting
- 33. Field trip in Taal
- 35. Some hints Crack jokes Tell real life situations Show pictures of Philippine setting scenarios Engage students to participate in discussion Ask a LOT of questions Recognize the students’ inputs Film showings Demonstrate concepts Listen to the students’ ideas Have Fun!!
- 36. Thank You!!!
