I am interested in identifying skills and knowledge needed within teaching in further and higher education, and the need to develop/recognize sensitivities as they relate to teaching in different areas of education is of interest.
Conference Paper Study on Development of Sensitivity Scale for Teaching Profession
I'm a great believer in reinforcing a students answer. If they answer incorrectly, don't dismiss them right away, go to another student who may have the correct answer and then go BACK to the person who either didn't know the answer or answered incorrectly, then ask them again, (after they heard the correct answer so that they can be reinforced and recognized for their efforts), this in turn "teaches" them the correct answer instead of leaving them in the dark as many teachers tend to do! We need to teach our students, not cause them to feel that they lack the skills, I firmly believe in repeat and repeat again until learned. I am studying Autism in Grad school and plan to get my Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis by 2018
Hi Caroline,
Sensitivity applies to all areas of teaching and it falls under the more encompassing notion of teaching as relational. If teachers are not sensitive to their students - in relation to how they answer questions - but also more broadly in relation to their level of engagement, their prior knowledge, their prior experiences of education, etc. etc., then it is unlikely that learning relationships will be forged. Hope this helps, Kevin.
Dear Caroline,
in addition to 2 previous answers:
I think that sensitivities must be developing during all LLL path and with base on professional responses "WHY they go on this path on each step".
May be our articles
"Conceptual Framework, Models, and Methods of Knowledge Acquisition and Management for Competency Management in Various Areas" and
"The pragmatic goal-based approach to ESP teaching with "Why" as the leading aspect"
(both at RG) will be usefull for you a little.
