Classroom Observation Form Instructor: _Kateri Salk ________ Course _EOS 323/723 Landsape Hydrology Peer/Observer: Rebecca Vidra______________________ Date and Time _November 15, 2018 1:25-2:40pm________ Use criteria that apply to format of course observed. Review Section Description/Comments 1. SUBJECT MATTER CONTENT (shows good command and knowledge of subject matter; demonstrates breadth and depth of mastery) Explained that this her is dissertation research but that this would be a boot camp Answered questions confidently and didn’t move on until there was general understanding 2. ORGANIZATION (organizes subject matter; evidences preparation; is thorough; states clear objectives; emphasizes and summarizes main points, meets class at scheduled time, regularly monitors on-line course) Nice organized class, with objectives stated up front. I’m considering using this for my own classes as I think it gives students something to focus on throughout the class and then again when they are studying. 3. RAPPORT (holds interest of students; is respectful, fair, and impartial; provides feedback, encourages participation; interacts with students, shows enthusiasm) Allowed students to work in groups on a clear exercise with an appropriate time frame. Walked around to listen in and be available for Qs. 4. TEACHING METHODS (uses relevant teaching methods, aids, materials, techniques, and technology; includes variety, balance, imagination, group involvement; uses examples that are simple, clear, precise, and appropriate; stays focused on and meets stated objectives) Frequent questions asked of students – keeping them engaged Answers questions clearly and ensures that students understand before moving on Students have access to slides ahead of time 5. PRESENTATION (establishes online course or classroom environment conducive to learning; maintains eye contact; uses a clear voice, strong projection, proper enunciation, and standard English) Nice movement from screen to screen (this room is terrible for presentations) Slides are clear and concise; not overwhelmed with text Review Section Description/Comments 6. MANAGEMENT (uses time wisely; attends to course interaction; demonstrates leadership ability; maintains discipline and control; maintains effective e-platform management) Allowing students to work in small groups helped to engage them and the time dedicated to this seems appropriate 7. SENSITIVITY (exhibits sensitivity to students' personal culture, gender differences and disabilities, responds appropriately in a non-threatening, pro- active learning environment) 8. ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS (assists students with academic problems) 9. PERSONAL (evidences self-confidence; maintains professional comportment and appearance) Excellent 10. PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF CLASSROOM (optional) (state location and physical attributes of classroom, number of students in attendance, layout of room, distractions if any; list any observations of how physical aspects affected content delivery) Strengths observed: This class session covered a complex topic efficiently and interestingly. Kateri demonstrated mastery over the topic, with a professional enthusiasm for the topic. She crafted the class to have plenty of time for students to meet in groups and work through some applications. All students seem engaged in this, asking each other questions, and then flagging Kateri when they were confused. This allowed her to teach in a small-group setting but also to understand which topics were tripping students up. Students seemed confused at times but there was movement towards clarity throughout. Suggestions for improvement: Perhaps start with applications so that students understand the value of this topic before diving into graphs. I was a bit confused by the transition, late in the class, to hydrologic models but I may have missed something. Perhaps checking in with students during the next class to ensure they understand this material would be a good move, particularly because so many of them seemed somewhat confused. Overall impression of teaching effectiveness: When observing another’s teaching and classroom environment, I can’t help but start a list of lessons for my own teaching. One aspect of my own teaching that I am working on is how to introduce students to complex topics without their eyes glazing over. I appreciated Kateri’s plan for interspersing small-group discussion/exercises with lecture. She also did a really nice job of asking questions, keeping students engaged and also checking to see if they were following her. She adjusted to wrong answers nicely (hard to do all the time). I’d like to do more of this in my class and I’m encouraged to bring more complicated material into my class, essentially asking more of my students. She sets an expectation for engagement, which I try to do in my own classes, with mixed results. I predict that Kateri is an effective teacher and that her students will be able to apply principles of landscape hydrology in various scenarios. Download 19.08 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
