ASSIGNMENT 4
4a)
2.1.1 Inclusive teaching and learning is defined as the learning and teaching environment in
which all the participants are fully engaged and respected, also it enables all participants to
be open to ideas, perspectives and inbuilt the ways of thinking that are different from
specific thoughts (Hockings et al., 2012).
2.1.2 The inclusive learning and teaching is an important model because it encourages the
involvement of parents, students and teachers in the education. It tries to foster the culture
and environment for the individual with belonging and respect and also enables one to learn
about individual differences and accept those (Hockings et al., 2012).
4b)
1.1.4 It is important to identify and address individual learner’s needs for the following
reasons
Achieve quality
In every education setting there are children with different requirements like social,
behavioral, physical or emotional challenges, when the teacher identify their needs and
address them the quality enhances
Developing talent
This helps in developing the learner’s abilities and talent
Creating interest
Identifying and addressing learners needs boost up their morale and helps develop interest

It helps organize and plan day to day activities as per interest and needs of the children
learning (IqualifyUK., 2019).

2.2.2 Teaching material is the umbrella term used for all the resources used by a teacher in
teaching the students, it holds great importance to select appropriate learning resources
and teaching approaches for the children as per their specific requirements as it enables the
individual to learn better with help of the resources and understand the concepts well.
Including simple practical based approaches helps in better understanding and later
acquiring more theoretical tangible material for teaching helps in the process of inclusive
teaching (Lazar., 2015).
4d)
2.2.3 To engage and motivate children or learners teacher should give them a sense of
control, define objectives, offer variety of experience, change the scenery, use positive
competition, offer rewards, distribute responsibilities, create safe environment, build
rapport with them, prepare engaging lessons, and foster sense of competence. It is also
seen that to engage the students in class the teacher needs to collaborate with them,
embrace partnership within them, establish positive and fear free relationship, make the
learning aimed and targeted toward aims, use divided learning, create a routine, use
explanatory images and study maps and try to engage with the students in dialogue during
sessions.

Method Strengths
When would this
method be most
appropriate?
Limitations
When would this
method be less
appropriate?
Would you use this
in your specialism?
Give reasons for
your answer
1. Flipped
classroom
(inverting
the class)
Helpful in motivating
students for self-
learning
Not applicable when
concepts are new and
students cannot
understand on their
own
Yes I would use this
in explanation of
some of the basic
lessons where
previous knowledge
can be sued to
enhance current
concepts
2. Design
thinking
(case method) This helps in
enhancing critical
thinking and
partnership working
with practical base to
work in
It is not applicable for
the lessons that do
not have much
practical implication
Yes I would like to
use this method a
lot in my style of
teaching as this
helps in better
understanding of
concepts and
clarification of
doubts while
enhances the
abilities of the
learners to work in
groups and solve the
4

problems
3. Self-
learning Useful in places
where resources are
not accessible and the
concepts need to be
understood well by
critical own reflection
It is not applicable in
places where the self-
reflection and own
evaluation cannot be
done
This kind of
technique is useful
but I would use it
judiciously as it
provides path to
wide information to
the students but
analysing the
information on their
own may become
difficult at times
4. Gamificatio
n Use of gaming is very
useful as it inbuilt
interest in boring
subjects
Cannot be used in
setting where
students are highly
distracted
I would incorporate
this style in my
practice as it proves
to be beneficial in
engaging students
and achieving their
cooperation
5. Social
media Use of social
networks and media
for education I useful
in contemporary
world
Not useful in setting
with low network
availability
I will include this in
my practice at
certain level to be
used for information
sharing and
assessment detail
sharing using social
media
5

6. Online
learning
This can be beneficial
in setting where the
students are well
aware of using IT and
applications
Not useful in areas
with low knowledge
and supporting aids
Use of online
courses and learning
will be included as it
helps in delivery of
practical and visual
knowledge and
target more sense
than a classroom
can.

Teaching or learning cycle is a five staged model that enables one to plan their teaching
accordingly that will target the minds of the learners and help in better understanding of
concepts.
The five stages of this cycle are

it enhances the quality of teaching and education.

The second stage enables the individual to plan and design appropriate activities for the
learners as per their needs
3. Delivery ad facilitation
The next stage enables the teacher to facilitate the delivery of the planned and designed
activities to teach the children
4. Assessment
This stage allows the tutor to assess how well the learning are incorporated in their learners
by organizing the assessment of the learners
5. Evaluation
This stage enables the teacher to evaluate the benefit of learning and the outcomes of the
learning’s provided to the learners (Kuijpers et al., 2010)

3d) The boundaries of my role in relation to my learners would be the acceptance and
evaluation of the feedback I receive after the course. It is essential for me to set the
boundaries with my learners as it provides standard rapport between them. Breach to
student welfare is considered to be violation of the professional student teacher
boundaries. Throughout this cycle it is necessary to take care of these boundaries as while
identifying needs teacher should not involve emotionally with the student, while planning
and designing teacher should provide help to certain level, there should be no bias while
assessment and evaluation of the learning as per personal rapport (Jahreie and Ottesen.,
2010).
