Momento 2

Reflection Format
Design Thinking Stage: Define

Teacher: Rosa Luz Corrales M Grade: TENTH

Today you will observe a class to sharpen your focus so you can reflect on students’
experiences in a language classroom.
There are 2 ways you can do this:
1. Observe your own class with your colleague
2. Observe your own class individually
If you prefer to reflect on your face-to-face class- you can do that too.

Step 1. Observe

your teaching. Some students are afraid of speaking in English, they do not repeat after the teacher.
Some of the students don´t sing the song, they feel shy. There is not a video beam in the
classroom to see the lyrics and the video of the song.

Example: SS only spoke in Spanish, Some ss completed the exercises, others did not. Ss
did not work in groups. There was little interaction among ss. Only the same students
participated. SS did not know how to use a new platform that the teacher planned to use
in an activity.
The teacher talked most of the time. Interaction was mainly T-S
The material was not updated or attractive to students.

Step 3. Prioritize

How might we involve students in activities that prompt speaking in order for them to get more confidence?

1. Work with interesting and meaningful material so that SS feel motivated.

2. Ask students about the topics they are interested in: music, TV, you tubers.

3. Prompt conversations among partners so that they can practice together.

4. Invite people that speak English so that SS can listen to them.

Does today’s analysis confirm your initial insights in the Quest in Moment 1 or are they different? How?

Share your Impact matrix.

Step 5. You are ready for your challenges on Moodle!

Now that you have defined your priority area, you are ready to start the next stage of Design Thinking.

To prepare for the next workshop, choose 3 out of 5 challenges on Moodle. Choose the topics that are
related to the focus of your Learning Experience Labs. Remember that your Learning experience Lab can be an
activity you will apply with your students, an improvement of your written curriculum or even a redesign of your
existing activities. The information and hands-on activities on Moodle will equip you with skills so you can
experiment in your Learning Experience Lab.

Use the Quest Moment 2 to prepare for our next workshop.

Remember: design thinking is about having an open-mind and re-inventing your teaching practices by seeking
different solutions to the same pedagogical problem in order to improve students’ learning experiences.
