I remember the first time a treated a topic in Mathematics known as Surds, at the end of the lesson, I decided to assess my students’ level of understanding; only to realize that a particular student never understood anything from the beginning to the end and he never raised the issue in the course of delivery. It was quite frustrating and I had to make out time, with lots of energy input to attend to his needs specially on the topic.
I got to realise that the reasons for his inability to cope were:
1. The speed with which I delivered the lesson was faster than he could cope.
2. The methods I used in solving the problems were too cumbersome for him to comprehend.
3. He had a number-related (Maths) difficulty in learning.
4. He was the shy type, who never wanted to be looked at as a dummy. He had that complexity.
The time a student didn’t understand my lesson, I felt ineffective, frustrated, vexed and sad.
Four things that can make a learner not to understand a lesson are:
The method of lesson delivery
Failure to tailor lesson delivery to student’s need.
Learner facing some disturbing problems at home.
Teaching content too high for the learner’s level.
Whenever I discovered that student did not understand my lesson, I feel very bad and frustrated. It is as if all my effort is invain.
Four Reasons Why a Student might not understand a lesson are:-
1. When the teacher adopt the passive teaching method rather than participatory method.
2. If the learner has poor coordination.
3. Teacher’s inability to identify the learners need.
4. If the student is having learning difficulty.
I once had to teach a tricky topic in numeracy – bearings, to a group of Year 8 pupils and barely all could not comprehend. I felt frustrated as I made frantic effort to try to push through the lesson but to no avail.
REASONS WHY A STUDENT MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND A TOPIC:
1. If the topic is not developmentally appropriate
2. If the student lacks prior knowledge that he could build the new learning on.
3. Teaching style/Learning style mismatch.
4. Some external factors such as mood of the learner and environmental condition.
When pupils do not understand my lessons ,even when I try to push through , most time I felt bad ,unprepared and frustrated ,
Reasons while students might not understand the lesson.
(1) Distraction /Lack of Concentration
(2)When a teacher involves in passive
teaching instead of participatory teaching method.
(3) In ability of teacher to recognize learner’s needs
(4)when teachers do not plan his or her lesson to the level of learner’s.
I love the sandwich method of feedbacks is awesome.
I have experienced a situation in which a student did not understand what i was teaching. Reasons this could have occurred include:
– the terminology being used were rather foreign to the student
– their background in that concept being taught may have been limited and i was probably teaching at a higher level
– I was unable to breakdown the concept to a level the student could actually understand
Four reasons students might not understand a lesson are :
1. When they don’t like the teacher
2. When a teacher have a distracted look
3. When a teacher is boring
4. When a teacher is not knowledgeable of the subject.
My experience with nagative feedback was discouraging and frustrating for me.
There was a time a particular student of mine couldn’t grasp simple numerical problems. I was deeply concerned. It inspired into undertaking my first educational research.
4 reasons why a student might not understand a lesson
1. Lack of Concentration
2. Dislikes on the teacher by learners
3. Poor Planning
4. Terminology towards learners
