Hello friends of steemit today I will be participating on @fantvwiki learning challenge titled SLC | S22W6 : Get to know your students

Elaborate on your understanding of student characteristics, as discussed in the subject matter post. Explain comprehensively and develop your understanding of this.

Getting to know a student characteristics plays an important role for effective teaching because every particular student comes with a unique and different system of learning,interacting and even responding to challenges concerning education. If a teacher could recognize this different characteristics they can create a more engaging and a supportive environment for learning.

COGNITIVE ASPECT This is simply the way the students understand learn and think. This include their learning styles and stages of cognitive development. A good example is some students can be visual learners who understands what they are being taught through writing, diagrams or even charts. And they are also some students who are called auditory learners because they learn mostly by listening to teachers when they are explaining. When a teacher understand this difference between students they teach their lessons based on the diverse needs of the students.

Emotional aspects this aspect is on how students mange their feeling and their motivation aso a student emotional stability can impact in their learning significantly and their learning experience.
A good example is a student who is struggling with anxiety may find it very difficult to concentrate during lessons. Then a teacher can come in at this point and help by creating a positive learning atmosphere that encourages communication and emotional support. Also recognizing students motivation either it is external or physical reward or it may be inner desires. Also this can also help teachers in providing encouragement for students.

Social aspects this involves on how student interacts with others and communicate with their groups and their teachers. Some students excel greatly in group interaction and other are perfect when they work alone. If a teacher understand this dynamics of social aspects it will do a great help to them. And it will aid group work to facilitate effectively,making sure that all students feel valued and among.

Physical Aspects this is the seen development and health in a student which are the age height and weight and skills. This can affect participation in physical activities or even classroom engagement for example a student that can interact and learn from others may struggle with his or her writing skills. Teachers should be aware of these factors and should adapt to the activities accordingly to make sure that all students can fully participate.

Psychological aspects this is one of the personality traits and self concept because students can identify the introverts and the extrovert within them and learn how to engage with themselves in class discussion. If a teacher understand this traits he or she may be able to design activities for different students and personalities. For example an introvert students can excel greatly in writing task because it will aid them to express their selves without experiencing stage fright in front of the class.

Spiritual Aspects this are part of the moral values and beliefs that influence the students behavior and interaction in school. A teacher should learn how to respect these values so as fostering an inclusive environment where all beliefs are acknowledged

Ok I and my friend went to a jamb class I noticed that he is an introvert because when we were being taught maths he went aside and sit but I was there learning after the class I now called him out and asked him why he went aside and he said that he cannot understand when there are multiple people around. So I now discovered that he is a kind of person that learns when he is with less people. So I tried the cognitive aspects of learning of learning which is learning visually and teaching with diagrams. So I taught him step by step using diagrams and I taught him interactively.

According to you. Providing questions, tasks, or projects that require critical thinking and in-depth analysis, more suitable to be given to students who have the ability of which characteristic category? Give us an explanation of this.

When it to assignment which requires critical thinking, they are best suited for students who have strong cognitive abilities because this students can analyze complex problems and can develop solutions effectively. A good example is projects that that have to do with research tasks this will help the learners to engage very well in straightforward memorization exercises.

According to you. When a student feels depressed or anxious, especially in an evaluation situation. What category of characteristics does such a student belong to? Explain your answer and how to solve it. (2 points)

Addressing Anxiety

Many students who feel anxious during evaluation struggle with emotional stability and they may belong to the category of learned that need additional information and support to help them manage their feelings. Such students can create a calming environment before tests by offering relaxing techniques or providing reassurance about evaluation process.

So In essence creating a conducive environment for teaching is very good and effective for students learning.
