Διαχείριση των παιδιών στο φάσμα του Αυτισμού, στο πλαίσιο της σχολικής τάξης
Η ομιλία πραγματεύεται τις προκλήσεις και τις δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζουν οι μαθητές που βρίσκονται στο φάσμα του αυτισμού, μέσα στο πλαίσιο της σχολικής τάξης. Δεδομένου όμως του ότι η εκπαίδευση δεν είναι και δεν πρέπει να είναι μονοδιάστατη, είναι απαραίτητο να κατανοήσει και να γνωρίσει ο εκπαιδευτικός τον τρόπο με τον οποίο λειτουργούν και μαθαίνουν τα παιδιά στο φάσμα του αυτισμού. Οι διαφορετικοί τρόποι αλλά και προσεγγίσεις που χρειάζονται τα παιδιά αυτά, αποτελούν ενίοτε μεγάλη πρόκληση για τον εκπαιδευτικό. Είναι όμως απαραίτητο τα ίδια τα παιδιά να νιώθουν αποδεκτά και να υπάρχει συμπερίληψη και ενσωμάτωση μαζί με τον υπόλοιπο μαθητικό πληθυσμό. Όλα τα παραπάνω θα παρουσιαστούν και θα αναλυθούν μ ε τρόπο ώστε να είναι άμεσα εφαρμόσιμος, εντός του πλαισίου της τάξης, με σκοπό την βελτίωση των συνθηκών για το μαθητικό πληθυσμό, αλλά και τη δουλειά του εκάστοτε εκπαιδευτικού.
Gamification in Grammar, Make Learning Fun for Everyone
Grammar has been associated throughout the years with blunt memorization of set rules that must be followed to the letter. Such a tedious labor will always act as a deterrent to both learners and educators alike, hindering them from consolidating the focal educational points of the lesson. Gamification is an innovative pedagogical approach that has become an integral aspect to learning as it ignites students’ interest in the lesson. Find out how to make your class more engaging by infusing it with techniques that will not only make your students more susceptible to learning, but have an entertaining time doing so.
