Promoting
Discussion
The readings for this
module focused on the value of discussion a strategy for promoting learning
among our students. It points to the importance of Language in the cognitive
development of our learners. Both Piaget and Vygotsky made reference to the
value of language in this regard. Therefore, when my students engage in discussion, the experience provides them
with the opportunity to articulate their thoughts, enabling them to think
abstractly and thereby improving their thinking capability. Knowing
the value of discussion as a teacher, I seek to engage my students in
discussions as often as I possibly can whether formal or informal.
My thoughts on my experiences
with the discussion activities
Coming out of the
discussion, I was able to learn more about ways in which I can preserve the
environment. Additionally, I have a greater appreciation for the way students
portray their talents and the need for me to pay careful attention to the
composition of group as this has implications for the success or failure of the
group. I have concluded that I have to create greater avenues for students to
express their talents and abilities.
