After all the hardships in studying how to
teach and how to make an instructional design, finally we were able to apply
the things we learned from paper into a real teaching session. The whole
session went well and smoothly but since it was our first time, it was not
perfect and we admit that.
Upon
reflecting about the teaching session, I realized that we did well when it
comes to relating with our clients because we were able to have a personal
connection with them at the start of the session. In addition to these, we also
showed them the benefits of the exercise in their busy and stressful lives.
Through these we made it more meaningful for them which in turn made it easier
for us to instill knowledge and learning to them.
No teaching
session is perfect and for a first timer, we still have a long way to go. One
of the things we must improve is picking up cues from the participants about
the things they value in life so that we can modify our session at the moment
in order for it to have more impact on them. Basically, we can learn this from
experience but we can improve this by knowing our clients thoroughly beforehand
and being sensitive about the things they say and do.
Personally, I need
to improve my communication skills because I sometimes stutter and say a lot of
things to the point that they cannot understand the things I am saying. I think
that I can improve this through more practice, more preparation and more
mastery of the topic.
This is just our
first time and I know we have a potential to be better, to be good teachers.
