Learning procedures:
Introduction:
- Introduce the concepts of financial ratios.
- Handout lecture power point slides, financial ratios concept map and key ratios graphic organiser
Body:
- Teacher explains the ratio analysis concepts and encourages students to take notes
- Teacher posts power point presentation and other reading material on Weebly (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/) for students to access them
- Students watch Youtube video (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/audio-video-resources.html) that illustrates the process of calculating financial ratios
- Teacher encourages students to search for relevant videos (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/audio-video-resources.html) to deepen their knowledge and understanding of financial ratios
Students work individually:
- Students are introduced to the interactive quizzes (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/quizzes.html) and take diagnostic test on fundamentals of financial ratios.
Students work in pairs:
- Students research and investigate the benefits of using twenty-first century note-taking applications in the classroom.
Students work individually:
- Students are presented with the blogs to provide answers for Bloom’s taxonomy questions of different cognitive objective (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/blooms-taxonomy-sequence-questions.html) and continuously reflect (http://uni.vijay.8ing.com/courses/2013/T3/FAHE11001/blog/?page_id=141) on their learning journey.
- Teacher advises students to download the resources from Weebly (http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/concepts.html) and organise them in their laptop/memory stick.
- Students note down the URL’s for Weebly, Blogs, Youtubes and interactive quizzes and then add the links to their favourites.
Teacher guidance:
- Teacher guides students in developing the skills to process the information more intensely, frame mental representations logically through the use of graphic organisers, mental rehearsal strategies and technology-rich learning resources.
- Teacher encourages students to participate actively in blogs to share their learning experiences with their peers and learn from them.
- Teacher assists and inspires students to build strong foundation for developing lifelong learning skills and further empower them to navigate their life successfully.
Conclusion:
- Revise the concept of financial ratios and the learning strategies students have attained during the lesson.
- Encourage students to refer their notes, handouts and graphic organisers to complete the homework Bloom's taxonomy sequence of questions: Cognitive level “knowledge and comprehension” http://vijay-financialratios-test.weebly.com/blooms-taxonomy-sequence-questions.html
- Encourage students to reflect on their learning in blog (http://uni.vijay.8ing.com/courses/2013/T3/FAHE11001/blog/?page_id=141).
