The pilots even took time to show one of the two engines for the students and explained some technical data such as it produces 700 horsepowers. The students were inpressed that the size was very small to produce so much horsepowers
John what an excellent way to translate theory into practice for your students. demonstrations like these are so useful and engaging for students. Do you have the opportunity to do this kind of teaching often with this group?
We have alot of development projects that i use to teach in. The studens gets more motivated and learns the conections between theory and practice in a way thats not possible with traditional lessons. We do this methods with al classes So far, there has been success
What a very clean engine. They learnt some important lessons through this observation. What do you think the most important lesson was that the students learnt?
if you mean the whole lesson, I think that what they learned most from, and perhaps benefit the most is when people from industry and government agencies come in to school and asking students for help. It gives students a tremendous self-confidence and we teachers can exploit this for years through the photographs we have taken and used as a reflection of other projects
John, I agree. The way in which you record these events is very useful . They can be used with other classes and they would find them very engaging.I like the idea of improving student self confidence. In any other circumstances the students would probably never meet people who fly helicopters. I also think that the fact that the students were asked to help on a real task was wonderful. Did you find that they were all engaged with the job they had to do?
What I mean is if some of this lad in school could find his way in too the commander, officer or policeman work, perhaps for the thrill of too see a copter.
okay now I understand what you mean. As it seems now, none of the students interested in becoming a police officer but they would later in life wanting to be police, it has more knowledge of the various chores a police officer makes, which can be to their advantage

DeleteStudents have shown a huge commitment to this task and it is very easy to get all students to participate without any nagging
ReplyDeleteHow many do you think will become a officer in this class?
ReplyDeleteKennet can you explain to me what you mean by an 'officer;?

DeleteI think you've asked the wrong blog :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps not John, the students maith be interested of the work that the policeman do, and so on....

ReplyDeleteImpressive that you could get the police force to take part.
