EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES 2
Introduction
Teaching and learning require a suitable environment for it to take place effectively
(Burk, 2014). Knowledge is perceived to be the process through which learners acquire skills.
There are various factors which have to be present for learners to learn effectively. This paper
outlines ways through which teaching and learning can be made more successful and enjoyable.
Part A – CHCEDS026
Task 1
Application of the given principles of practice to the given scenario
Learning requires a supportive and productive environment. Students most likely achieve
the expected outcomes when they feel connected to their education (Barr, 2016). In this scenario,
it is advisable to vary the style of learning to favor all learners. All students cannot do better in
group discussions. The instructor needs to allow the students to explore different ways of
learning which can make their understanding useful.
Secondly, for learning to take place adequately, the environment must promote self-
motivation, interdependence, and independence among the learners. Independent learners
improve their performance efficiently (Mulyono, 2017). The fourth-year students need to
establish the expected goals for the numeracy task. It will help them see if their set strategies are
productive in achieving the expected learning outcomes.
The interest, perspective, and background of learners should reflect in their learning
program. It is essential to help students feel connected in what they are learning (Paolini, 2015).

The instructor can help them to realize how the concept they are gaining is applicable in their
real-life situations. In this scenario, the teacher should help the learners see how the idea of
digital scales can improve their living standards.
Challenging learners during the teaching and learning process is essential. It improves
their levels of understanding and application of different skills in different life dynamics. The
instructor in this scenario should realize that every class contains a wide range of students
(Wieman, 2014). The task he or she gave to the learners can be easy to some learners while at the
same time be complicated for others.
Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. The teacher could have given the
learners a task first to help them know how to handle overweight objects. The exercise will help
the instructor to see if there could be any other way to teach the concept of digital scales (Amua-
Sekyi, 2016).
The learning process is beyond the classroom. It strongly connects with the community.
It should be related to the interests and needs of each student (Ito, et al., 2013). In this scenario, it
could have been better if the teacher could have brought in some activities that could have made
the learners feel connected to their work, for example, the involvement of videotapes and
outdoor activities that elaborate how to measure weights and its importance.
Task 2
Difference between learning styles and principles of practice
Students learn differently. A learning method is a way, in which a student grasps,
processes, comprehends and retains data that they read (Tabrizi, Alizadeh, & Koshavar, 2013).

One of the methods that a learner may employ is linguistic learning. A semantic is a learner who
can learn through necessary language skills such as speaking, writing and listening. For example,
a learner can read about a particular ability, listen to an audio that explains the talent and make
short notes about the craft. Secondly, visual learning is another learning style (Hatami, 2013). In
this case, the learner learns more with the aid of visual learning models such as pictures, graphs
or diagrams
On the contrary, practice principles are the factors which have to be kept constant for
learning to take place effectively. They are necessary conditions which help the learner to
achieve the desired goals effectively. These practices include drawing high expectations for
every learner. Practice principles promote learners intellectual engagement and personal
awareness.
