CLASS DISCUSSION
                        Discuss  with  your  friends  and  share  the  result  of  the
                        discussion to whole class



              Objective:

            The  objective  of  this  class  discussion  is  to  explore  and  understand  the
            diverse  ways  in  which  learning  needs  can  vary  among  individuals.  By
            discussing  the  factors  that  contribute  to  this  variability,  we  aim  to
            appreciate  the  importance  of  adapting  our  teaching  methods  to
            accommodate the unique learning requirements of all students.

              Duratio n:
            Approximately 45 minutes


                                                   Format

       Introduction (5 minutes)
       The lecturer introduces the topic by explaining the significance of recognizing and
       addressing diverse learning needs in an educational setting.
       Group Discussion (outside of class/Asyccronous, 15 minutes)
       Students are divided into small groups of 4-5 members. Each group is given a set of
       questions related to learning variability to discuss among themselves.
       Sample Questions:
           How do you believe individuals' prior experiences impact their learning needs?
           Can you think of instances where cultural differences affected how someone learns?
           What role do personal motivations play in determining learning needs?
           How might different learning styles affect how students grasp and retain information?

       Group Sharing (10 minutes)
       Each group presents a summary of their discussions to the entire class. A designated
       group spokesperson highlights the key points and insights that emerged during their
       conversation.

       Class Discussion (10 minutes)
       The lecturer facilitates an open class discussion by inviting students to share their
       thoughts,  questions,  and  personal  experiences  related  to  learning  variability.
       Encourage  students  to  provide  examples  that  illustrate  the  diversity  of  learning
       needs they've encountered.

       Guided Reflection (5 minutes)
       The  lecturer  guides  students  to  reflect  on  how  understanding  the  variability  of
       learning  needs  can  influence  their  approach  to  teaching,  communication,  and
       collaboration in both educational and professional contexts.
       Homework Assignment
       Reflect  on  a  personal  experience  where  you  encountered  someone  with  different
       learning  needs  from  your  own.  Write  a  brief  reflection  paper  discussing  how  this
       experience impacted your understanding of the importance of tailored education.
