Healthy Education Development on Adolescents Now a days, it is hard to keep adolescents motivated and focused on important subjects. Technology has made this new generation very dependent on their self-image online, they think they might need to look or dress a certain way in order to fit in; and all these things clutter their minds, and it leaves no space for learning. But technology will not always be the enemy, it can be used positively and promote a healthy learning environment for students to learn. Below are just a few proven examples on how an educator can successfully engage with their students to promote well-being.
Providing a healthy learning environment for the students is important, but that starts with the educators themselves. Teachers can take a few cognitive measures when preparing for class. Cognitive strategies are quite advantageous when cooperating with learning problems. Cognitive strategies give a structure to realizing when an assignment can't be finished through steps. For instance, calculations in arithmetic give a progression of ventures to solve a problem. The basic cognitive strategies educators can adhere are evaluating the content they will cover; this seems obvious at first glance, but many teachers just gloss over the subject instead of thinking it through in order to create a productive lecture. Once evaluated, educators need to determine the accurate approaches for the students’ success. Lastly, educators may teach with
schedules and instructional backings that help understudies as they apply proper methods and procedures (Jordan, L. 2018).
As mentioned, technology does not have to be the enemy, on the contrary, it can be quite useful in the classroom in order to promote a successful class. Making use of videos is something that has been used for years, but simply playing a video, movie, or documentary can get quite boring to the students, instead, having an interactive system stat allows them to participate in real time is something that engages their attention on the subject. One of the most widely used systems are United Streaming, it allows the educator to search a video, plug it to Power Point, and it even comes with activities relevant to the subject. Other systems are also helpful like Multiplication, which has math games, and ThinkFun, that has thinking based games. Another method that is proven quite useful ae group discussions. Like the interactive games, group discussions allow the students to engage directly with each other and the educator (White, J., 2019); this method also helps the students with communication skills.
Now that the strategies have been stated, all the educator must do is apply them on their day to day lectures. There is an immediate connection between the sort of learning condition educators make in their classrooms and understudy accomplishment. One thing an educator must do in order to accomplish student education is to address the student’s need, whether it’s a physical or mental challenge, talking to the student and their parents on how to help them is the base to make sure their needs are met. Creating order in the classroom, greet the students every day, properly introduce yourself to the students, as your students get to know you, you can get to know them, though the rewarding system is great to give them a push, reduce the usage once they start getting used to it, this may cause further relationship problems.
