Reflection
Teaching my
class about Microsoft Excel was quite a rewarding experience. Students were
enthused to transfer what they had documented during the science lesson.
Students were engaged in a period of observation where they documented how much
water was absorbed by a plant over a six days period. The thrilling part was
when they had to work in groups to be able to create a line graph. I observed
that as students worked in their groups there was greater productivity, more
high-level reasoning, more frequent generation of new ideas and exercising of
problem solving skills. My task as a facilitator was to offer assistance where
necessary. There was one group that encountered some difficulties but as time
progressed they were able to grasp the concepts and ably complete the task at
hand. All the objectives were met and learning did take place.
Reflection of
the outcome of the lesson: This lesson was rather interactive and students were
very enthused to work in their groups for the duration of this lesson. There
was one group that struggled to present their data because initially the
information was incorrectly documented during the observation process. In the
future I will ensure that greater attention is paid to the collection and
tabulation of data by students.
