Taking teenagers class is a general practice: Students there come to learn whenever the senior students age 30+, 40+, come for earning the certificate mainly. So I think there should be some differences between the generations. Not That Much???
I think I don't have to teach the norms and etiquettes the senior citizens as my students. For their age, they are empirically experienced than me. I never go teach them other things in the class or outsides but in the teenager classes I teach my students all above mentioned.
Senior students usually have significant practical experience. On the other hand, junior students tend to remember the theory better if they are given a number of practical examples.
Seniors should be taught following adult learning principles which are different from teaching teenagers. The latter also need discipline control. Adults come with different levels of experience and background and hence the curriculum must be tailored to meet those individual needs.
The teacher can teach and educate simultaneously. Senior Students are more experienced than juniors. But the teacher being much more experienced than the students ,may teach them the norms of conduct for a long time.
I think the different there is that senior students already know what they want and as a result of that, they are more focused. Their developmental stages also counts.
I have been teaching the human beings from 5 years to...No difference! You must be honest, humane, sincere, highly educated, experienced and creative to understand them, ignite their imagination, and not to be trivial. The auditorium must be motivated and should trust you.
Certainly, there are differences in the education of students and psychologists. Older students are more aware and "mature" than younger students because they are less focused and "mature"
I think senior students are practically mature and needs understanding of basic concepts and theories while teenagers are practically inmature and needs more practicals and understanding of concepts.
Yes, The faculty members should keep in their mind that , the distinct differences between the generations so that the senior may not get any shy in the class which will cause the students dropout. Here we are not saying that senior students will not run or they will get more marks without any work. We emphasize that the handing of the same would be soft and thats it.
Yes, I also think they are matured and thats why handing should be soft. Suppose a students has come for his Master Degree in the age of 55 years . What you will teach him about etiquette of the class. I think nothing. If necessarily, yes, than we should select way by which s/he will not be humiliated.
Dear Madam, Pls add your kind answer/ your feelings or comments about the topic. As you the valued person from medical science , your answer will add a new dimension in this research.
Yes, the senior students know something , may be better than the faculty members in some cases. For example, My Masters students know computer applications better than me and thats why I adore them. May be they are very much busier than me in social medias. So they know the social medias world better than me. But in case of special education for only my module , they have to learn the matters seriously and we have to handle them respecting their age , experiences and social status.
I agree with you there is no differences in the learning process. They will learn in the same procedure as others do. But There shouldn't be any humiliations to break their prestiges as they are already adorned in the society in good positions.
Since my six years teaching experience, It is comparatively easy to conduct the senior level students' classes because they have huge practical experiences. When I delivered my theoretical lectures it was easy for the senior students to understand and they can easily implement this theoretical knowledge to their practical sectors. On the other hand, bachelor level students always try to focus on memorizing the contexts so that they can secure a good CGPA.!!!!!
The senior students usually works harder due the large academic experience they had while teenagers need to be taught the principles and the role will be on the side of the teachers itself in teaching teenagers.
Teenagers generally interact so it is not difficult to get them to work together, learn from each other, maybe even introduce each other to some new cultural differences. But they have to be moderated for ACCURACY of information. For adults who have work experience and often take a class for the certificate to add to resume, employability, or meet some job requirement may need to get introduced to collaborative projects with a multiple stakeholder perspective. They have to be moderated for INCLUSION and solutions that embrace more than just their area of expertise. In fact, this is one of my teaching objectives.
Thank you for adding your valued contribution for this research . If you see my previous answers here you will find the thing which I told before in this regards.
This has been my teaching philosophy for 10 years:
Statement of Educational/Teaching Philosophy
My educational philosophy begins with the recognition that the ability to influence another human being is one of the single most important human relationships with the greatest potential to achieve positive results. Thus, educational development requires a delicate balance between providing foundational learning, methods to engage in self-learning, and opportunities to collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment for problem resolution.
First and foremost, my duty as an instructor is to provide a place for a student to begin their own educational journey. This mandates that I deliver baseline knowledge of a given topic in a safe learning environment. Once a formative basis is established, educational tools are introduced to engage the student in personal learning that broadens their horizons. Types of educational tools might include using campus facilities (e.g., resource center, library, computer center, small business conferences) and specialists (e.g., research librarians, cultural liaisons, bilingual educators, foreign students) to conduct systematic research on areas of interest. This approach provides an opportunity for learning outside of any previous boundaries that might exist, engages the student in critical global community learning, and provides an opportunity to test their knowledge in the real world. For example, engaging students in collaborative research and publishing is one opportunity to demonstrate how the student population can become directly involved in generating awareness of policy relating to their personal areas of interest. My knowledge from various business, government and military projects (e.g., advanced statistical research, performance metrics, logistics, medical simulation, manufacturing, operating systems) support my capacity to provide the leadership to direct a diverse student population, participate in community service, and collaborate with seasoned faculty to fulfill objectives that recognize and address community service.
The incremental steps of foundational learning and self-learning engagements should culminate into independent research reinforced by collaborative, multidisciplinary activities that provide educational didactics. Finally, when students achieve increased awareness of a problem through this methodology, they are more likely to garner the confidence needed to suggest problem resolutions. Ultimately, this is my success as an instructor—when a student can discern information in such a way that produces innovative solutions to human development. This approach is consistent with foundational concepts of political science that focuses on political institutions, their governing principles, ethical policy development, and the manner in which government proceeds to carry out their social obligations to diverse constituents with conflicting priorities.
Enhancing social cohesion is an important element of the development of organizational policy. Thus the application of this philosophy in public and organizational policy is important in the promotion of a collaborative environment in which the contribution of the individual is founded on the logical progression of investigation towards a defined target and established social conventions. Thus, an educational approach that incorporates multiple perspectives can optimize input that culminates into equitable solutions across multiple stakeholders (e.g., management, administration, and employee). I stand by this teaching philosophy that embeds an inter-disciplinary approach to organizational and human resource solutions in the process of educating students in Public Management, Government Contracting, Entrepreneurship, and Non-Profit Business Development. Ideally, these ingredients move students from undefined aspirations to change the world to civic engagement and problem resolution.
Senior students are more determined, more serious, more responsible, more attentive and more motivated to improve their education level compared to teenage students.
What are basic differences to conduct class in the senior students than teenagers?
Taking teenagers class is a general practice: Students there come to learn whenever the senior students age 30+, 40+, come for earning the certificate mainly. So I think there should be some differences between the generations. Not That Much???
The very basic difference between teaching teenagers and senior students mainly:
Teenagers receive our lectures and only focus is to earn a good grade. Though some students want to learn something new.
On the other hand teaching, senior students is a knowledge sharing process. where they passed their teenager's life. In this process, both parties have opportunities to learn something new.
But, truly, we can not teach properly in both parties. And, all the blame goes to our conventional education system here generation is not the fact .@@@ Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan
Well, the senior students 30+ and 40+, particularly those who are already working in the branch of their study filed, they are definitely more motivated, highly experienced in practice and the teaching process is highly interactive. In short need the answers for "why", because they already know "how". They are more serious and more responsible than the younger students.
