Tuesday did a group questionnaire with Semiah and Anis as group secretaries:Anis for group 1(Mohamed,Dhia and Wassis)and Semih for group 2(Oussema,Ridha and Manel).
Anis and Semih were very good in giving their feedback.
Wassin was quiet as usual though he seems he's got the level to participate more but doesn't seem particularly interested maybe a different topic?
Oussema was also quiet but maybe participated a bit more than
Wassin.Group 2 worked together much better than group 1 at doing and discussing the task and the outcome whilst group 1 was mostly dominated by Mohamed but later he did realise he had to give Wassin an opportunity to speak.
Is it a problem
of age and experience?Wassin
and Oussema are the youngest and perhaps feel less confident in their speaking but Dhia,who is much older is often quiet who could speak and participate more but he over the past few months he has improved.
From the book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms,Richards,J.C.,in the chapter,approaches to classroom investigation,some important procedures are recommended:
Bailey 1990,Porter et al.1990,Walker 1985 state that it's important to make entries on a regular basis and immediately spend time after the lesson in writing up about the lesson
In addition to review the journal entries as some things which were not obviously apparent might appear so later on.
On page 16 Richards,J.C. mentions some reflection questions to guide thé writing of the journal:
What did you set out to teach?
Were you able to accomplish your goals?
What teaching materisls did you use?
What grouping arrangements did you use?
Did anything amusing or unusual occur?
Did you discover anything new?
Did students contribute actively to the lesson?
Were the students challenged by the lesson?
What do you think the students really learned from the lesson?
What did they like most about the lesson?
What didn't they respond to?
