What have you learned in Part Four-Broadening the context and Learning Module

4? Please share at least two insights

The major insight drawn from Module Four is the replication study. According to a

replication study, differentiation strategies used by instructors in classrooms have not changed

over the past ten years. Compared to instructors who do not employ replication, teachers who use

replication have more professional development experiences in gifted education, but these

experiences do not seem to be reflected in the way they teach. Even if children only receive

direct treatment for one hour each week, many teachers still believe that their gifted program

meets the needs of their high ability/gifted students. This implies the need for more, longer, or

diverse professional development experiences. Additionally, teachers need greater assistance and

motivation to put the training into practice if the new insights about ways for satisfying the needs

of capable children are to be applied. High ability/gifted students receive curricular adjustments

more frequently from teachers who have had professional training in gifted education. This can

be because they use the techniques in their classes to fulfill the coursework requirements for

gifted education.

The second lesson I took away from the session is that when technology is properly

integrated into curricula, there is a growing opportunity to have a good effect on pupils and

increase retention. Because excessive gaming might result in attention deficit disorder, teamwork

and creativity are concepts that must be taught in the twenty-first century. Some pupils may not

fully grasp the lesson in this case since they are so fascinated by technology. Teachers work hard

to maintain their pupils' interest in the learning process. This change is brought about by a

change in how teachers engage pupils, which influences their decision to teach novel ideas. It

can be boring for a teacher to just deliver a lecture without any interaction or hands-on activities.
Now, a teacher can use interactive educational games to engage pupils in learning throughout a

lesson, a process known as gasification. Gasification is a teaching and learning strategy that

encourages student learning. This has created a new space for instruction, learning, evaluations,

and progressions.

2. During the COVID-19 pandemic, what technologies have been applied in your

working (or studying) environment? What do you think about them?

Numerous social and economic challenges, including student debt, online learning, the

Internet, and disability services, have gained attention because to technology. In the face of the

pandemic threat, technology has provided a means and a solution to continue the quest for lives

of people and the education of students and workers. By developing platforms that enable virtual

meetings, new technology has reduced the stress of communication, particularly amid the

ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. These platforms provide features that make video conferencing

efficient and engaging, such Zoom and Ding Talk. I now know that people are now required to

work from home due to social distancing laws and the coronavirus's serious threats to the

business world. The module aids the learner in balancing the pros and disadvantages of various

platforms and the aspects that should be given priority when selecting a platform. Employees

that operate remotely imply that they no longer need to speak in-person at a convenient office.

Instead, videoconferencing equipment enables people to work comfortably at home. Companies

must adapt online techniques to continue serving their clients and holding meetings due to the

restriction of movements and physical contact to stop the virus from spreading.
