Topic: Teacher's Beliefs






As we know, the teacher has six beliefs about intelligence, about learning, about teachers and teaching and about schools and schooling.

It appeared to me that the Mathematics teacher in Majdal Anjar official high school has some beliefs about teaching-learning processes. He did not interrupt the students while solving on the board even if something is wrong, giving them the enough time to think, analyze and modify to reach the right answer. And when finishing, the teacher gives a feedback about their work. The teacher followed such strategy since he believes that everyone can get smart and that by effort (working on practice). This reminds us with belief: 1 “Beliefs about Intelligence and Children’s Capacity to Learn”. Moreover, he recalled the idea of “fractions” before explain the domain of a nominator and dominator, he is trying to stimulate the background information of students. So by their prior knowledge, the teacher is following belief: 2 known by “Beliefs about Learning”.

L esson: Redox Reactions Topic: Bloom's Taxonomy As we know, Bloom classified levels of thinking into six: 1- Remember 2- Understand 3- Apply 4- Analyze 5- Evaluate 6- Create After observing the explanation of this Chemistry teacher, it was clear that the teacher has followed “Bloom’s Taxonomy” in presenting the lesson for the class. This stands for the levels of thinking of both “teacher and students”. When the teacher started with a new type of reactions which was “redox”, he was aware to recall the definition of a reaction. What is a reaction? So by this way the teacher depend on the first level of thinking “knowledge” . In addition, when the teacher explained the method of calculation for the oxidation number of Cr in Cr 2 O 7 2- . The teacher asked a student to rephrase the method (how we get the oxidation number of Cr) in his own words. By this strategy, the teacher was following the second level of thinking “comprehension” . When the ideas

There are certain recommendations that should be taken into consideration to make the official  Chemistry book for grade nine with higher quality and achieve a high level in teaching-learning process. Here are some that is good to do and follow: 1-       Authors of the book should always be ready for an updated version, they must take into account the weak points and submit them to certain editions and changes to make the book more appropriate and interesting. (Scott Willis, 2000) 2-       Give the overview of each unit and chapter enough time to discuss when starting with any new topic, so that the teacher is setting the students in the case of critical thinking and excitement to know what the topic is going to be about. 3-       It is not professional to have a lot of useless information in each chapter, cancel the sections, subtopics, data and figures from the curriculum that are not covered by the teacher every year. It is not about “coverage-focused”, it is about quality

How to deal with dyslectic students? Teachers may have students with dyslexia disorder in their classes, so they should know how to deal with these students in order to engage these students in the academic and social processes. Several techniques and strategies are used to help people with dyslexia. These include taping lectures rather than writing notes, listening to books on tape rather than reading them, using flash cards, and using computer software to check spelling and grammar . Also the teacher can make and create an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). This will provide classroom accommodations and extra supp ort to facilitate learning. The teacher may even research summer or weekend reading programs (Alli, 2017) . Also the teacher could provide multisensory experiences for students related to each book that they read, such as using stories and coloring pages. Moreover, choose rhyming books with high repetition of words and phrases. We can also play with them sound matching
