CHCEDS026/CHCEDS027: Education Support & Teaching Programs

This assignment delves into the critical aspects of education support, focusing on creating productive and supportive learning environments. It addresses key elements of teaching and learning programs, emphasizing the importance of independence, interdependence, and self-motivation in students. The work also explores how to cater to diverse student needs, backgrounds, and perspectives within the learning program. Furthermore, it discusses strategies for challenging students to develop deeper levels of thinking and the role of assessment practices in the learning process. The assignment also covers different learning styles, such as visual, verbal, logical, and social, and how these styles can be accommodated in various learning environments like classrooms, playgrounds, and activity rooms. It also addresses technical problems students may face and provides appropriate responses. Finally, the assignment identifies potential issues for students with disabilities and suggests support strategies for small group work, large class discussions, individual work, and outdoor sports activities.

Part A
Task 1
a) Students learn the best when the learning environment is productive and supportive. This
means that the students are supported during their learning process then they learn quickly and
this learning becomes productive. By productive, it means that the students inculcate the
knowledge and creates ways and means out of their rational mind (Jonassen and Easter 2012).
b) Students learn best when the learning environment promotes self-motivation, interdependence
and independence. The outcome of the learning procedure is always useful when the students
find themselves to be independently dealing with the problem-solving. Interdependence is a
scenario in which the group of the six students can devise the ways of weighing the object that is
beyond the capacity of the weighing machine. Also, beyond all the interdependence and the
dependence comes the self-motivation and this helps the students to stay focused even if they
have problems (Kopnina 2012).
c) It is obvious that the students learn the best when the interests, perspectives, backgrounds and
the needs of the students are included in the learning program. It is an established fact that not all
the students in a class will have the similar learning potential and capability. But it is important
to note that the when the learning program takes into the needs of the all the student, then such a
learning program gets a holistic approach. Considering the scenario, forming groups can enhance
the nature and the quickens the learning as well as problem-solving capabilities of the students
(Entwistle and Ramsden 2015).
d) Students learn the best when they are challenged and supported so that they can develop the
deep levels of thinking. It is because when students come across the challenging tasks, students

are forced to think in and find a solution to a problem. Like the students in the scenario are
provided with objects that can be weighed with neither the digital kitchen scales nor the digital
personal scale. This will thus enhance the problem-solving capability of the student by making
predictions.
e) Students learn best when the assessment practices are an integral part of the learning and
teaching because learning without proper assessment procedures is incomplete. Assessment
procedures help the students to check themselves whether their process of learning perfectly
aligned.
f) Students learn well when the learning connects strongly with the communities and practices
beyond the classroom because the learning is a continuous process and it is not just confined
within the classroom. Learning also takes place by gaining knowledge from the surrounding and
also by observing and questioning the natural process (Pianta, Hamre and Allen 2012).
Task 2
The different learning styles that will be employed by the students are as follows:
 Visual- this is for the learners that learn the best when they have an image to
process the information.
 Verbal- this the type of learning is preferred by those that learn through the
writing and verbal instruction.
 Logical- this learning style is for the students that emphasis on the logic and have
the ability to perform complex calculations.
 Social- these learners are the ones that prefer to learn by staying in a group
(Pritchard 2013).

Part B
1)
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
Location in the school Classroom Playground Activity room
Describe the approach
Social
(interpersonal)- the
learners learn here
by getting involved
in the extracurricular
activities.
Physical
(Kinaesthetic)- the
learners will be
learning through the
animated objects
and they themselves
will learn by copying
the moves.
Aural (Auditory-
musical)- the
learners learn by
responding to the
sound.
What do you believe are
the benefits of this
approach?
The students get a
chance to socialize
Students are able to
make models
Develop a sense of
pitch and rhythm
How did the children
respond to this
approach?
Students responded

Is it a ‘content’ or
‘technical’
problem?
How would you respond to this
situation?

presentations. Sarah has

able to log into the computer

his project from Clip Art but is
not able to locate a specific

classroom teacher for approval.
The email won’t send and has
bounced back into your inbox.

I will assist nerve and check whether
the power cables are connected properly
The classroom teacher has
talked to you about a new app he
would like to use with the
students to record rainfall. You
have attempted to access and
download the app several times
but the system is not allowing
you to install it.
Technical
I will check whether the downloading
procedure is proper.
3) The five issues that may be encountered by the students with the disabilities are movement,
physical activities, visual teaching strategies, any visual calculation, communication.
4) the supported strategies that will be implemented with the students that are in need of the
additional support are as follows:

7EDUCATION SUPPORT
a) small group work- for small group work the two support strategies that can be used are
giving assignments to such small groups so that they can solve it together. Another support
strategy can be providing study materials for self-study.
b) Large class discussion- the support strategy can be like providing a discussion topic to
the class so that the students can make an extensive discussion. The next support strategy can be
providing study materials so that the class itself can work upon it (Lamberg 2013).
c) individual work- The support strategy can be like providing small assignment so that
the student can work upon it. The second support strategy can be like providing study material to
work upon in individually.
d) Outdoor sports activity- the two support strategy for the outdoor sports activity are: active
sports activities that promote team spirit and the second strategy is outdoor games that increase
physical activity (O'Neil 2014).
