1.How does instructional alignment affect student learning?

Instructional alignment is ensuring your learning objectives, the assessments of

those learning objectives, and the instructional strategies are aligned. Why is it important? This
foundational principle can increase student learning outcomes by 1 to 2 standard deviations.

2.Are assessment tasks and learning outcomes aligned?

By directly aligning assessment with course learning outcomes, you can achieve numerous
benefits. For example: Students can see clearly what to focus on, and how to demonstrate
their learning during assessment. ... Staff can use learning outcomes when
planning learning and assessment activities and tasks.Oct 17, 2018

3. How can you ensure alignment of classroom assessment to learning

standards?
Assessments should reveal how well students have learned what we want them to learn while
instruction ensures that they learn it. For this to occur, assessments, learning objectives, and
instructional strategies need to be closely aligned so that they reinforce one another.

Tips for Educators on Accommodating Different Learning Styles

We all have a way in which we best learn.  Odds are, every student in your class has a different preferred
learning style, which can make it difficult for you to be the most effective teacher.   However, by trying to
incorporate various methods into your teaching, you may be able to reach the majority of your students.   At the
college level, it is expected that students have an idea of how to adapt to most teachers, although it cannot hurt
to help them out a little! Below we have the three major learning styles and ways in which you can
accommodate them.

How can knowledge of the different types of learner help in teaching?
Allowing students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their
academic confidence. By understanding what kind of learner you and/or your students are,
you can now gain a better perspective on how to implement these learning styles into your
lesson plans and study techniques.

Learning strategies vs. learning styles:

* Broadly speaking, learning styles can be defined as general approaches to
language learning, while learning strategies are specific ways learners choose to
cope with language tasks in particular contexts.
* Learning strategies are the ways in which students learn, remember
information and study for tests. They refer to the actions and behaviors students
use to learn but learning styles refer to the general approaches that students use
in acquiring a new language or in learning any other subject.
* The strategies a student uses to learn depend greatly on his/her own learning
style.
Learning styles:
Each student has his/her own style of learning. As a result we have different
students with different learning styles inside the classroom as shown below:
1. Visual or spatial learners:
They need to see things to fully understand them. They learn best from visual
objects such as diagrams, charts, etc. They prefer to write things down.
2. Auditory or musical learners:
They learn mainly through listening so they learn best through discussions and
talking. They benefit most from reading texts aloud and using a tape recorder.
3. Physical or kinesthetic or tactile learners:
They learn through using their body, hands and sense of touch. They tend to use
their muscles so they can be used well in playing, tidying, cleaning the board,
collecting activity books, etc. They learn best through using their hands making
things, fitting things together or taking them apart so hands-on activities are
ideal to help those students learn best.
4. Social or interpersonal learners:
They prefer to learn in groups or with other people. They have the ability to
understand others’ feelings and intentions.
5. Solitary or intrapersonal learners:
They prefer to work alone and use self-study. They have the ability to understand
well their feelings, strengths and weaknesses. They tend to write personal diary,
achieve independent projects, discuss feelings about certain topics, express likes
and dislikes, etc.
6. Verbal or linguistic learners:
They prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
7. Logical or mathematical:
They prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
Learning strategies:
Many students use learning strategies automatically without any awareness of
them. The role of teachers here is to:
* recognize their students’ learning strategies,
* make them explicit to students, bring them to their attention and talk about
them.
* encourage students to use them in the classroom
* make them more effective to the learning process,
* base teaching process and techniques on these strategies.
Students use the following learning strategies most often when learning a
language:
1. Cognitive strategies which enable the learner to manipulate the language
material in direct ways, e.g. through reasoning, analysis, note-taking, and
synthesizing
2. Metacognitive strategies which are used to manage the learning process
overall, e.g. identifying preferences and the need for planning, monitoring
mistakes, and evaluating task success.
3. Memory-related strategies which help learners link one item or concept
with another but do not necessarily involve deep understanding, e.g. using
acronyms, sound similarities, images, key words.
4. Compensatory strategies which help make up for missing knowledge, e.g.
using gestures, miming or guessing the meaning from the context.
5. Affective strategies which help learners manage their emotions, such as
identifying one’s mood and anxiety level, talking about feelings, rewarding
oneself, and using deep breathing or positive self-talk.
6. Social strategies which enable the learner to learn via interaction with
others and understand the target culture, e.g. asking questions, asking for
clarification, asking for conversation help, talking with a native-speaking partner,
and exploring cultural and social norms.
To be able to use the suitable strategies for you, you should know first your
learning style BUT What is your learning style? Click and take a few minutes to
do a quiz to be aware of your learning style.
