Who are mystudents?
1.
Describe the students in
your class and explain the
factors that may affect their
learning in thiscontext
APST 1.1, 1.2, 1.3
Approx. 150 words.
(Bullet points or prose)
Economic factors
Students coming from the rich backgrounds and with good
financial status usually do not have many tensions. Thus
they can concentrate on the classroom lessons without much
fear. However on the other hand, the students coming from
the poor economic backgrounds often have the tension of a
proper meal or any other basic necessities of life. These
students might witness many fights between their parent at
home and this naturally affects their concentration level at
classroom.
Parents’ education- Parents play a major role in educating
the children. Parents coming from a well to do and educated
background will naturally help their children with the
classroom lessons and will provide them the actual moral
support that they need. These students are often active
learners. However parents with less or no education will not
be able to help their children with any kinds of moral
support or additional support.
Students with special needs-The disabled or the especially
able students often tend to stay back at the classroom
sessions. Special efforts like ICT methods must be used in
order to help these students.
Cultural factors-Student coming from aboriginal or other
minority backgrounds often suffer from a feeling of

depression.
What are the students ready to learn?
2.
Using evidence, justify
what the students are ready
to learn using assessment
data
APST 5.4
Approx. 150 words.
(Bullet points or prose)
I realized that as a teacher have to understand the learning
capacity of each student. The first thing that is used for this
purpose to develop a two way or a horizontal form of
communication with the students. This has immensely
helped me to understand the learning capabilities o the
students. I have also taken weekly assessments in order to
evaluate the learning capacity of the individual students. I
have also made sure that is assigns the homework or the
assignments as per the capacity of the students I do not
believe in over burdening the students.
Parent-teacher meetings have also been an important aspect
to known about what the students need to learn. Parents
have actively supported me to know about the interest of
their students. It is evident from my assessment data that
children coming from non native English speaking
background have problems in speaking English with the
right pronunciations.
How will I help the students to learn?

3.
Incorporate your
knowledge of research into
how students learn, to
justify your intended
teaching approaches
APST 1.2, 1.3

I have seen that the mental factors play a major role in
understanding how the students learn. Often students
undergo poor mental health due to severe family problems.
They might also suffer from a huge distance from their
parents thus they tend o stay back at the classroom
activities. Thus I will use much group discussion kind or
group activities so that these students can b r encouraged
and in this way they will also get the support from their
peers.
The linguistic and cultural backgrounds of students also
play a major role. For an instance the children who came in
my class from the minority groups or from non native
English speaking backgrounds had difficulty in understand
the texts that are being taught in English, They often suffer
from the feeling of isolation . They tend to keep mostly
silent without responding as they feel that they will not be
able to converse properly. Thus I will focus on history and
English. History will help me to teach them about the
emergence of each social and cultural group. This will help
them to know that each and every cultural group is unique
in its own way and they must never feel discouraged
because of their cultural or social backgrounds. However at
the same time I will have to teach the English vocabulary to
the students so that they can interact with one another in
their classes. English as an Additional Language or Dialect
or EALD will be taught to the students so that they face no
issues in learning the English words with the right kinds of

pronunciations.
Studies of Society and Environment (SOSE) will be used as
this will help me teach them the chronological emergence of
all the historic events. I feel that in order to develop a good
professional position in future each of the student must
know about their pas in a very nice and detailed manner.
