ADDRESSING TEACHERS CHALLENGE DUE TO COVID THROUGH SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING
ACTION PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION
A.IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN B. GOAL There are challenges that teachers When it comes to serving the facing right now, for example, both requirements of each of their students, a distance learning and academic freeze, teacher must think outside the box. understanding the various learning Different teaching styles satisfy and challenges that student’s face. There stimulate students in different ways, and will always be a wide collection of you as a teacher must put in extra hours learning abilities that demand your and effort to match their demands. attention, regardless of the class or Teachers who create these skills, on the pupils you are teaching. other hand, are rewarded with empowered and thriving students.
C. PLANNED STRATEGIES D. ACTUAL OUTPUTS
To address these challenges I I implemented both synchronous plan to implement synchronous and and asynchronous learning which asynchronous learning. Synchronous students ask questions in real-time in a means that although they will be live lecture, live chat room, phone learning from a distance, you will conference, video conference, or Google virtually attend a class session each Hangout. I provide them recorded week, at the same time as your lectures, powerpoint slides, or reading instructor and classmates. assignments that students can access Asynchronous classes run on a more on their own time and can progress relaxed schedule, with students through the learning when they want. accessing class materials during different hours and from different locations. E. OUTCOMES It has a great impact of having both synchronous and asynchronous learning for the students. For instance, we were having an online class where they feel a greater sense of community and connection to their peers when they all learn together. When shy students have time to compose well-thought-out emails rather than being pressed to speak up in a live conference, they may feel more at ease talking with their professor or colleagues. Most important, students become more engaged in their learning. F. REFLECTIONS I think the best thing that I can do during this crisis, is to make myself available whenever my students need my input and help. As teachers, let’s be compassionate and promote humanize education amidst this pandemic because teaching is an act of love, care and support. We must be resilient enough in embracing the new normal in education. We must be flexible in adapting the current trends in teaching and learn new apps that will be used to connect to 21 st century learners. I realize that, extending help, even just virtually, to our learners will somehow, make a difference.
