Way Of Teaching And Learning

This week, our group has chosen the way of learning through e-learning and also Online learning. E-Learning stands for Electronic Learning meaning that it is a learning system based on formal teaching but with the help of electronic resources while Online learning only uses online media or the internet in learning. The reason why we use this way of learning is that it is one of the most frequently used methods after a pandemic and it has become a new normal in the learning process with which the whole country began to use it. Besides, this way of learning is also more effective which is more freedom that allows the student to study at their own time and study anywhere, with no restriction on areas and at the same time they still can remain in contact with their teacher.

LESSON PLAN 

COURSE CODE: BIO460

CHAPTER 3 :BACTERIOPHAGE LIFE CYCLE

 

TERMS	POINT
Learner	Science student in Kuantan
Purpose	To gain students’ understanding regarding virus discovery.   To introduce and explain virus components and shape.   To teach the student about characteristics of a bacteriophage.   To allow the students to acknowledge the contrast between bacteriophage lytic and lysogenic life cycle.
Course/content	At the end of lesson, 1. Students should be able to know the contribution of scientists in the discovery of viruses.        I. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723) - Contributions toward the establishment of microbiology as a scientific discipline.      II. Louis Pasteur (1822 – 1895) - Contribution on discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization.     III. Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch (1843 – 1910) - Identified the specific causative agents of tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax and also gave experimental support for the concept of infectious disease.     IV. Charles Chamberland (1851 – 1908) - Invented a porcelain water filter in 1884.      V. Dmitri Ivanovsky (1892) - Concluded that the bacteria was so small.     VI. Martinus Beijerink - Discovered that the agent cannot be cultivated on nutrient media (need a host)   VII. Wendell Meredith Stanley (1935) - Crystallization. 2.  Students should be able to introduce and explain virus components and shapes:          I. Glycoproteins.          II. Envelope.          III. Capsid.          IV. Single/ Double stranded DNA/RNA.          V. Helical.          VI. polyhedral/ Icosahedral.          VII.Complex combination ( helical and polyhedral).          VIII. Spherical shape   3.  Students should be able to describe the characteristics of a bacteriophage            I. Non-life                    -They are acellular, with no cell nucleus, organelles or cytoplasm.                     -It cannot move and reproduce on their own.            II.        Life        -They only reproduce within the living cells that they infect.                     -Use their genetic information to force the host cell to replicate.   4.  Students should be able to explain bacteriophage life cycle.       I.        Lytic cycle.          - The virus destroys the host cell.      II.        Lysogenic cycle.          -The viral genome usually becomes integrated into the host cell.
Method of instruction	Online learning and e-learning Online learning and e-learning are used because schools are temporarily closed due to Covid-19 pandemic. Students are having online distance learning (odl) at home.
Technology	Google meet  The teacher and the students make the live lessons Two way-learning can be achieved (teacher can ask student question regarding to the lessons topic and student can ask teacher to be more understand) For the best result, the internet connection should be strong The teacher records the meeting The purpose is to give the student who has the internet problem during the live lessons to watch it again when the internet connection is stable enough. The teacher can also watch it again and detect if the lessons have any misinformation or not.   Google classroom  Teacher can put the recorded lecture  Student can use it for study to face the examination Give the opportunity to the students to be more understanding when they watch it again. Teacher prepares the homework or assignment for the students The teacher can set the due date for any assignment at the space that the students need to submit it.  Any kind of assignment are available to be submitted in this application such as videos, slides, reports and paperwork   Kahoot/quizizz/google form  Test the student understanding The teacher needs to inform the student early to make them be more prepared for the quiz except for the pop quiz. Teachers can detect which students are not mastered yet for any topic that had been taught.
Assessment	One-sentence summary  To demonstrate whether or not students are able to understand concepts . Example : ask the question “Who? When? Does what? Where ? Why? How?” Do this assessment with a discussion forum or in a group so that it can make the online environment fairly easy to engage students especially among the peers.   Set up a quiz and test  Set some essay question type and be available for 1-3 minutes  For example : “ what is the type of bacteriophage life cycle and explain the process” Can make revisions to teaching materials to address areas that students did not cover in the question.

Animation

i) “In your opinion, why do you think animation can help with students’ learning engagement?”. 

In the modern age of education, there have various ways that can help with student learning engagement. The most widely used method is by using animation. By using animation, it can increase student interest in the learning process which it combining audio messages with tailored visual cues and graphics, to serve the dual functions of explaining complex concepts. Besides, using animation provide greater flexibility in self-directed learning and understanding. This is because the students can repeat the video at any time they want on parts they do not understand. Additionally, animated graphics are found to improve learning in various age groups, ranging from young children to high-school students. This is because interesting animation can keep the focus of students in the learning process and at the same time it also can increase the level of understanding of students.

ii) “Choose your favorite animation movie and talk about why the animation used in the movie captured your attention”

My favorite animation is ‘Raya and the last dragon’ which was a fantasy action-adventure film. This animation movie captured my attention because the animation graphic was so wonderful which it has 3D and colorful graphics. Besides, the voice used is suitable for the character in the movie and the background music makes the movie more interesting where it plays a major role in showing the situation of the story. Other than that, the animation makes it easy to understand the storyline which it was a story of a girl who wants to save her kingdom from dark magic by asking for help from the last dragon. From this movie I also can understand the value they want to convey to the audience which is a level of trust to others, efforts bring success and use kindness in solving problems.

Innovative technological tool that can be used for education to review.

 

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application or web-based technology used to plan, implement and assess a specific learning process. LMS is an eLearning-based institution that allows instructors and administrators to efficiently manage elements such as user registration, content, calendars, user access, communication, certifications, and notifications. LMS is used for knowledge which refers to gathering, organizing, sharing, and analysis of an organization's knowledge in terms of resources, documents, and people skills.

A feature that provides an LMS is it can organize eLearning content in one location. Therefore, we can store all of the learning material in one location instead of the material spread out over different hard drives and devices. Thus, it will provide the audience unlimited access to eLearning materials. Hence, the audience can log in whenever they want and can revise on the part that they are still bad on. Besides, LMS is very useful to the teacher because it has the ability to tracks learner progress and performance. From that, the teacher can help the student by giving supplemental resources to improve their performance.

Guidelines on getting started on the LMS:

Step 1: Put together your implementation team.

This will usually consist of a team leader, project manager, e-learning specialist, and system administrator.        

Step 2: Spell out your goal.

Determine what to need to accomplish and understand what success looks like so you can know whether you have succeeded.

Step 3: Compile LMS requirements

Create a list of must-have capabilities to help inform and direct your effort.

Step 4: Create a strategy

This includes project scope, data migration, integration, your timeline, and the rollout approach you will take.

Step 5: Get your content in order

Consider an element such as a learning path, course structure, and format and whether you will use in-house or pre-built content.

Step 6: Test before you launch

Use a group of learners to give the system a trial run before your go-live date. This will help you catch and fix the error so users have the best experience possible.

Step 7: Ask for feedback.

Have a system in place for getting feedback on how you can improve the LMS.
