Stages in Krathwohl’s taxonomy of affective learning

• In light of the stages in Krathwohl’s taxonomy of affective learning, the class I am familiar with has a majority of learners is in the stage of receiving.
  • We could measure whether learners had reached the stage of receiving when they pay attention. We can know this when they are listening in class.
  • We could measure the level of learners responding when they ask questions, this shows that there contribution towards the class.
  • We could measure the level of learners’ when they start to recognize their own abilities and does their responsibilities.
  • We could measure the level of learners’ they start to put into practice what they have learned.
  • In this class, the instructor gave the time to an open discussion where all students can contribute their opinions.
  • One change that the teacher could make to enhance effective learning in the class is by using simple languages to explain various concepts.

1. Course Title: Basic Inductive Bible Study
2. Purpose Statement: There are a number of ways to read the Bible, but this basic Inductive Bible study is one of the most effective and simple approaches to learn to read in an inductive way in order to understand and apply it to your life. This course is designed to equip you with basic Bible study and communication skills. This course will help you to figure out the main ideas within the Bible passage. You will be guided on how to focus on those main ideas with a clear understanding. You will not just learn how to study the Bible effectively but this class will also help you in sermon preparation in finding the right context and applying the message in today’s context.[unique_solution]

The three main skills that you will be learning in this class are observation, interpretation, and application. In the observation, you learn to question the text using the 5 Ws (what, who, when, where, and whom). In the interpretation, you will learn to discover the meaning of the passage, context, and the use of commentaries with cross-references. In the application, you will learn to find how the Bible passage is relevant for your life today and apply the truth into a life-changing effect.

• Shaw 2014, 179 Q.2

• I cannot agree enough with Palmer’s approach concerning the quality of “teaching emerges out of the integrity of the teacher as a person.” Integrity is the key to trust. A teacher who is true to his/her words holds much weight to than those who are dishonest. A teacher is not only teaching using the class material but also using his/her personality. The teacher’s personality will create a different environment in the classroom resulting in a positive outcome. Imparting knowledge is just part of teaching but the teacher’s personality will nurture student character as well because the student will imitate teacher behavior.

• As a teacher, I would describe myself as someone who is a classroom guardian. Some who guide students to grow into the right direction of a life-changing behavior.

• My personal and character in my classroom teaching are seen as an inspiration.

• My personality is an asset in a way that not only what I teach about facts is enough but my personality will strengthen students’ respect towards me as a teacher and a person.

6. Brainstorming b. Whole class interaction
7. A good relationship with a teacher

In Brainstorming, students are participating which makes the class more interesting because everyone could share their own thoughts. When there is interaction in the class, it is less boring which makes the class interesting. A good relationship between teacher and student makes learning easier because there are understanding and love.

2. One specific way of the principles of an effective lecture that I am planning to incorporate into my lesson in the near future is small group discussion.

3. One element of quality discussion I will be incorporating in my teaching is small group discussion because every person has the opportunity to discuss their opinion and it is far more difficult to remain silent and uninvolved.

Unit I, 2 a : Jesus and the Ministry of teaching.

Introduction: Jesus was the master teacher. Many people would come to hear his teaching. People travelled far and wide just to hear him. The lessons he taught spread like fire and literally changed the world. Here are the methods of teaching that Jesus used in His ministry.

1. Jesus Spoke Authoritatively: Jesus taught as one who had authority, unlike other teachers (Mark 1:22, Matthew 7:28-29). He, on the other hand, boldly declared, “You have heard this, but I tell you…” (Matthew 5:22, 28, 32, 34, 39, 44). All authority on Heaven and Earth has been given to him (Matthew 28:18).
2. Jesus Told Stories : Jesus told countless parables and story. He pulled spiritual truths from everyday life. Not only did these stories make his teaching more memorable, they also connected in a much more profound way.
3. Jesus Asked Questions: Jesus used to get the attention of his listener by asking a lot of questions. ( Matthew 16:26; 22:20-21) . Questions are a powerful teaching method for it stimulate critical thinking.[1] Good questions make the audience demand answers.
4. Jesus Used Visual Illustrations: Jesus often used object lessons to communicate concrete truth to his listeners. He washed the feet of the disciples to teach servant leadership (John 13:3–17). He called a little child to him to discuss childlike faith (Matthew 18:1–4), etc. Visually communicated truth is far more powerful than only spoken truth.
5. Jesus Used Repetition: Jesus helped his listeners understand and remember his teachings by the use of frequent repetition. He taught the same major themes again and again. He spoke of his death and resurrection over and over again (Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33–34),
6. Jesus’ teaching demanded action: But not everyone could handle it, such as the rich young ruler (Luke 18:18-23). Our experiences test our faith and teach us more than any sermon ever could.

7. Jesus Practiced What He Preached : There is no greater example of a preacher following his own teachings than Jesus. Jesus didn’t just teach on prayer; he often withdrew to pray (Luke 5:16). Jesus didn’t just teach on loving sinners; he had dinner with them (Matthew 9:10-12).

Conclusion: In Christian method of teaching the best model of teaching is seen in the teaching accounts of Jesus. The teachings of Jesus are studied as literature, historical records, a set of legends, or as facts. His teaching techniques, strategies, and methods would be a role model for the Christian teachers which could contribute to our understanding of teaching and learning, and could serve as a source of inspiration and replication to educators.

Unit I, 2 b : Ministry of Teaching in St. Paul’s Writing:

Introduction:  Paul followed the Spirit in his teaching. He demonstrated how to successfully interact with people in a variety of teaching situations. Here are the principles of his teaching as follow.

1. Paul Knew his Audience: Paul was a teacher who knew his audience. For instance, he would adjust his approach depending whether he was teaching Jews or Gentiles. He preached at the local synagogue to those who were generally familiar with scriptural stories and the doctrine of a Messiah. Thus, knowing his audience helped Paul modify his message for each group.

2. Paul Redirected the Conversation When Necessary: In his considerable travels, Paul needed to interact with those who agreed with him and those who did not. He demonstrated how to avoid potentially difficult situations by redirecting a discussion in a better direction.

3. Communicating with Those You Teach: Paul demonstrated how to speak so that people from different backgrounds could understand him. As “an Hebrew of the Hebrews” (Philippians 3:5), Paul was from a Jewish family, was trained in Jerusalem, and knew Hebrew and Aramaic, the languages of the Jewish people.[2]

4. Seeking for Common Ground: After arriving in Athens, Paul was impressed with the people’s devotion to their religion. Some of the local philosophers took Paul to the Areopagus (Mars Hill) to hear more of his “new doctrine” (Acts 17:19). He reassured them that God was “not far from every one of us” (Acts 17:27). Paul’s teaching strategy demonstrated his ability to find common ground with people of various backgrounds to facilitate understanding. Instead of just citing the Hebrew scriptures, Paul quoted Greek writers with whom the Gentile crowd would have been familiar.[3]

5. Reaching Out to Those Who Struggle: Paul taught people to show compassion toward those who struggled. For instance, Paul told the leaders of the Corinthian Saints to discipline a person who had committed serious moral transgressions (see 1 Corinthians 5:1–8) but then later counselled them to make sure they forgave and encouraged him so he would not be overcome with sorrow (see 2 Corinthians 2:6–7; see also Galatians 6:1).[4]

Conclusion:

Not only was Paul a gospel scholar, but he was also a talented and empathetic teacher. We can follow his teaching strategies to teach by example, know our audiences, redirect conversations when necessary, communicate effectively with those we teach, seek for common ground, and reach out to those who struggle. He urged his converts to “walk worthy of the Lord … , being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10). As he helped others progress toward this goal, Paul found success as well as challenges. Even a master teacher like Paul was not able to reach all the people he taught, but he never gave up. Paul wrote to Timothy that servants of the Lord should be “apt to teach” (2 Timothy 2:24). Paul provided a model of this by his words and actions.
