HOW STUDENT DIFFERENCES AFFECT
OUR TEACHING

You as a teacher must recognize that

diversity- whether economic, culture,
gender, motivational must take into
account.
 HOW CLASS AND CLASSROOM SIZE
AFFECTS OUR TEACHING

• Class size dictates how you will teach.

• Having fewer learners and teaching in a

less complex environment would seem
to permit more teacher-students
interaction.
“ Students in smaller classes in
elementary grades are more engaged
in learning and less disruptive,
possibly because their teachers get to
know their students intimately and
develop a greater tolerance for their
behavior.” ( Glass, 1987)
“ Class size also affects the behavior of
learners. Students in large classes are
less likely to pay attention and to
engage in off-task behavior.”
(Blatchford et al., 2003)
HOW AVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS AND
EQUIPMENTS AFFECT OUR TEACHING

Teachers are limited when there

are insufficient resources. A well-
stocked “larder” in your case the
classroom , provides greater potential
for instruction.
 HOW AVAILABLE TIME AFFECTS OUR
TEACHING

There are limits to the amount of

instructional time available to the
teachers. If you have more time you can
employ more direct learning strategies
such as experimentation and discussion.
 HOW THE NATURE OF LESSON
OBJECTIVES AFFECTS OUR TEACHING
The nature of objectives will influence the way
you teach.
Example:

1.Students know that 6 sevens are 42.

This is a cognitive objective that primarily

requires the use of mental processes.
2. Students can hold a paint brush in order to
create a particular brushstroke.

This is a psychomotor objective that primarily

requires physical dexterity.

3. students enjoy listening to orchestral music.

This objective requires the learner to “feel”

something. It is affective.
 HOW NATIONAL IMPERATIVES AFFECT
OUR TEACHING

• The desire to be first worldwide in educational

achievement has resulted in federal legislation to “leave
no child behind”. That goal translates into making sure
that all children are especially competent in reading and
mathematics. In order to achieve this goal, students are
regularly tested, and their teachers and schools are held
accountable for the teat scores. Schools serving less
educationally advantaged learners are less likely to
meet the educational standards.
• The desire to promote use of
technology has resulted in the placement
of computers in classrooms with
attendant pressure on teachers to use
them and to teach students in their
usage.
