Week 1 Reflection

WEEK1

REFLECTION

 

As has been early intended and decided by TVTC in Saudi Arabia to share with the experts from HAAGA-HELIA University of Applied Sciences the extremely successful experience, I started my programme at this University in Finland on Monday 2 April. As soon as I got going on the programme I felt there would be extraordinarily immense challenges.

 

 

All participants from TVTC were all received and welcomed warmly by the instructors and staff members of the programme. As a result, I have recognized that it is quite significant to deal with fresh trainees in a very friendly and polite way. Also, I was very surprised by the fantastic collaborative learning activities that had been guided by the programme instructors inside and outside the classroom.

 

In addition, In the few past days, I have learned the best way of introducing students to each other and I liked the activity instructors used because it was more practical when they made the classroom as a map of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and each participant should go to his region. I have been informed with the principles and objectives of the programme and my responsibilities for the whole period, so I learned from this teaching technique that it is essential for teachers to make a complete plan to the whole period of their course. One of the most useful and active teaching activity that I have learned this week is the activity used by the instructors to review what participants had learned the day before by asking them questions and writing hints on the board. We have learned the differences and similarities between Finish and TVTC vocational learning and it's very important for me as a participant to choose the best for my students. I have learned how to start working the learning journal and how to use the moodle. So that is very important for me to learn it in order to use media and technology in my class in the future. Really it was amazing learning week.
