Reflective Journal 2B

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL. UNIT 2.B

In this unit I have learnt useful things about how to produce the targets. I think that a lot of teachers have lack of knowledge about this aspect of teaching because of that they copy the target from books.

I have learnt that the targets that a teacher establishes should be understandable to students. 

The first thing that a teacher should do is to make a reflection about what he wants that his students learn. However, it is not the only important aspect. The teacher has to be able of establishing a clear relationship between targets and assessment criterias to facilitate that the students can achieve the targets.

These targets can be classified in knowledge (procedural knowledge and conceptual understanding), reasoning (thoughts that the students develop to learn), skills (demostrations are the heart of learning), product (the creaction of a product is the focus of learning) and dispositions (students´attitude, motivations or interest). A good planning should have all these kind of targets in order to students develop a complete learning.
