this really stuck with me and made me sad that i couldn't be in a class like that because you cant radiate that kinda energy through a zoom call :( so powerful
In my opinion, a good teacher is a teacher that builds strong relationships with students. Especially the ones who have a rough life at home and a teacher can make them truly happy. Also, a good teacher makes their lessons engaging and fun which actually is better for our mental health because we’re forced to study and study and study notes and do so much homework. Fun and hands on activities makes us WANT to go to their class and learn which is more effective than just giving them notes and doing boring lectures that no one’s gonna remember bc it’s boring! Idk this is my opinion though.
I remember how my chemistry teachers always told me "DON'T MEMORIZE ANYTHING, UNDERSTAND IT!!!" And then they would tell me "You don't know the name of this compound? Oh, right, you can't do it with the rules we've taught you, this one's an exception. Yeah, you'll have to memorize this one. Also these, too. Oh, and also all these ions. Oh, and also the oxidation state of these 30-40 elements. Oh, and these procedures? Yeah, they're a little counterintuitive. Memorize these steps, but understand the procedure! Why is the procedure like this, you ask? Oh, I could explain it but you wouldn't understand it. Focus on this, you'll get it on your third year." But in the actual classes and resources you wouldn't practice memory. They would just ramble for hours about how you shouldn't memorize anything, re-explaining the procedures but assuming you already memorized everything, waste time exemplifying with incredibly stupid and obvious metaphors (One of my teachers made two whole groups stand up and pass balls to eachother to make the point that Electrons travel from one atom to another, something that is taught in primary school.) Stupid teaching methods, horrible organization, continous miscommunication between teachers and assistants, they had no idea how the methods of the textbook's author worked. Horrible experience.
I don't like blanket statements about good and bad teachers that do not take into account the necessary balance of different teaching strategy - there is no problem with memorisation as a teaching strategy to keep things simple for both lower ability learners who cannot engage with data in the higher skills in Bloom's taxonomy and even just to revise and review key points if they will be important in external examinations. I had to do a fair amount of memorising in University. It is an important skill, even if concentrating on it solely would produce a damagingly unbalanced curriculum. The famous quote from Yeats is that "Education is not the filling a pail, but the lighting of a light" - and I don't think anyone could ever argue that this is not the ideal of all pedagogy, but I would argue that balanced teaching requires a fair amount of pail filling alongside the inspirational ideal.
Actually I agree with him. Memorisation is the bedrock of education. If you don't spend some time building a library of facts and data in your head, learning the processing skills that allow you to analyze data gets you nowhere. Memorization builds the knowledge base. You then have to learn how to manipulate that knowledge in order to truly learn. But it begins with rote learning and without that step you get nowhere.
I think memorization has its place he is just trying to show that concepts are supposed to be memorized implicitly through engagement and application. What you know by rote will have greater meaning to you.
"Teachers need kids to be engaged in the process!" - proceeds to talk towards kids for the entire video. Memorization isn't dead - it just comes AFTER understanding. Cognitively, understanding doesn't guarantee memorization.
The topic is about teaching. The students are learners of teaching. He’s talking to them in a way they understand (ie. what they’re familiar with, what they’ve experienced), and he pauses to engage as well as wait for responses. So no, he’s not just talking but also engaging. No one said not to memorize, but it’s not how you acquire knowledge = his entire point
I don't understand - is this the "bad lesson example"? The entire lesson he just talks "at" his students. Wasn't he suggesting at the beginning that students are supposed to be challenged and be involved, to think as part of the learning process, except he barely uses this strategy himself. His strategy is to ask a question and then give the answer himself. The student's rarely had a moment to either comment or even reflect on what he was saying. Maybe that's why it's called "virtual education"?
Students are uncomfortable because they aren't used to that way of teaching. Like tell me, how long did it take for you to get used to college (from day 1) and it's learning atmosphere. It takes time, in 2 or more sessions his students will feel like they are talking with someone they can talk to without feeling like he will yell at them for saying something inconvenient.
@@angelg3642 I understand all the principles of what he is saying - but if he wants to "show" what he means - then he needs to also hear the thoughts of his class. I didn't hear anyone in this clip speak at all, even though he asked them questions. My response to students who sit in silence when I ask a question, is to keep re-phrasing that question until I find a point of contact or familiarity. If you don't do this then you do not actually know if your class understand what you are saying. It's a pity he did not demonstrate this himself.
Not so sound judgmental but in my novice days, and I still consider myself as a novice practitioner, I used to think that I was going to become everything that this instructor talks about. Now I know that there will be days when you are there acting like you're a sitter. A bad teacher is someone who's neglectful and just doesn't care. An excellent teacher is someone that engages his/her students as part of the learning process as he talks about here.
So they can end up happy, healthy and wealthy. If the teaching is done correctly that will be their future, If not they are going to end up something in between.
This guy is making sense, but has anyone considered his delivery style? Is that on purpose? Is he saying that older people don't need to be engaged in learning, just kids and undergrads?
the eyes say he's on drugs but the body is saying that he need to do this job to stay in work hahaha but I agree with what he says as a new teacher at a college I think he's dead on the money get them doing something that's about the lesion and not just sit there doing nothing its no longer the 1920s I hate my classroom being set out in rows the ones at the back have no clue on what I am saying as they cant hear or get help when they are stuck. In stead I think if the tables are around the class room and everyone is facing in they get a better lesion.
I'm watching this right now as someone who is so frustrated with her university professors. They come to the classroom and read off the slides. Never cater to their students. Dont have a sense of enthusiasm. Literally anyone would feel like they want to fall asleep if they are in their lectures. I'm a psychology student and psychology is a VERY interesting field, but they make it very boring, and very dull with their teaching style. They have PhDs and are well versed and read in their field, but they are absolutely terrible at conveying that information and knowledge on to the students.
The video description says it's a lecture on good vs. bad teaching. He also asks who's studying education and a lot of hands go up. So I think they are students learning to be teachers...so, technically, he IS talking to other (future) teachers.
So this guy blablablas a lot for the entire 6 minutes. Tell me what you still remember at the end? I agree that he is passionate and speak loud. But it is an Ineffective lecture because the 6-minute lecture does not have a clear structure, and it is not very logical. Even the supporting example is like, so what?
@@williamzuo9358 He's most likely teaching future teachers, he's teaching them to teach with passion, to teach by giving relatable examples rather than just the dry theory, to catch the attention on his students so they listen and focus without feeling like they will fall asleep any minute. If he's putting only his personal opinion then put yours to the case as well and ask yourself "Would there be a difference If I was thought this way". For me the answer is obvious since I had a taste of both of the teaching recently. I was studying programming In Uni and I had what this guy described as a bad teacher and in the span of 4 months I ended up more confused than yesterday, ended up teaching myself from youtube vids and research and ended up learning something at least. After those 4 months I said "Well that shit is useless and a huge waste of time" and ended up dropping. Then I joined a bootcamp which had 2 months free preparation course. In that course our teacher was a guy who already had a job, he was young, and very passionate about his job (both teaching and programming). So what happened ? He started teaching his students with relatable examples, he caught our attention by showing is useful and very impressive things. He gave enough attention to literally everything, he told us that we can stop him any time we want to ask him questions. We did that and holy shit was that a night and day difference. By the way his students didn't stand up or said anything because they are still uncomfortable from that way of teaching. Like tell me, how long did it take for you to get used to college (from day 1) and it's learning atmosphere.

Memorization isn't everything in education, but it has its place. I can't imagine learning a foreign language without ever memorizing anything.
Actual learning of language has very little to do with memorization, it happens to do with utilization of the language and interaction in the culture.
Without memorization you cannot utilize words. Memorization is the first step.
I have been teaching English in China for 5 years now and I really think this guy is speaking my feelings. Amazing principals of teachings . thank you
Hi ermal, hope you will be fine, could u pls let me know how i get the teaching job in china, currently i m doing tesol certificate.thanks
this really stuck with me and made me sad that i couldn't be in a class like that because you cant radiate that kinda energy through a zoom call :( so powerful

MEMORIZING IS LEARNING....THAT'S HOW I KNOW THE ALPAHABET AND TIMES TABLES TODAY.

The Jim Carrey of education! Love it!

Memorize something that you can't simply google and find within 2 minutes. That's what you must memorize.
100% right I use to force my students to memorize now I believe that I was wrong I'll try to make them think and understand.
no, just master how to make them memorise important stuff
I wish i'd have that kind of a teacher :(

Lol, in college atm, profs want me to memorize everything .
Brilliant teacher wish he was mine back in the day maybe I would have learnt something 😂
1:28 is so important for me

this is the video about 'teaching on meth'?
Great lecture
Oh Captain... My Captain
Hi could you give me more videos about this how to be a good teacher
organic chemistry is a college level course and everything has to be memorize
why do you have to force people to learn?
You don’t. But for some things, you know better than the student
So they can end up happy, healthy and wealthy. If the teaching is done correctly that will be their future, If not they are going to end up something in between.
So nice show .
This guy is making sense, but has anyone considered his delivery style? Is that on purpose? Is he saying that older people don't need to be engaged in learning, just kids and undergrads?
FANTASTIC!
coba kalo ad guru keq gini di sklh gw... setiap hari gw inget apapun yg dia ngomong
Nice!!
Mr. Burger was my great teacher
the eyes say he's on drugs but the body is saying that he need to do this job to stay in work hahaha but I agree with what he says as a new teacher at a college I think he's dead on the money get them doing something that's about the lesion and not just sit there doing nothing its no longer the 1920s I hate my classroom being set out in rows the ones at the back have no clue on what I am saying as they cant hear or get help when they are stuck.

is passion a drug ?
A good teacher is a like acter so he do it well. I like his behavior ..

Peter Parker
Great.
Interesting
He should talk about this topic to other teachers, not students! It's inappropriate!
The video description says it's a lecture on good vs. bad teaching. He also asks who's studying education and a lot of hands go up. So I think they are students learning to be teachers...so, technically, he IS talking to other (future) teachers.

structure is only for linear thinkers
its a part of a lecture dumbass
It wasn't supposed to be some sort of panacea for teaching.
How is it not logical ?
Too much acting
+LB22peter I think he's great. You'd remember one of his lessons, and we're talking about him so he must be doing something right!
I think he is true definition of bad teacher
