Hello! I am Yousra Shakir from Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan.
I am a Junior Elementary School Teacher. So I facilitate my students with my effective teaching methods.
In my spare time I enjoy gardening and reading books.

Rote learning which depends on the memorization has long been a general approach in education, especially in system focusing on exam performance. Although it may help students temporarily remember facts, it often limits deep understanding and practical application. Students can struggle with problem solving in the real world and creative thinking. On the other hand, ideological understanding emphasizes to explain the inherent ideas and connections of a topic. This encourages students to ask "why" and "how" promotes significant thinking and long-term storage-it is necessary to succeed in modern society.

To promote ideological learning, teachers must reassess how they design and distribute. Instead of relying on repetition, teachers should use activities on hands, examples of real lives, and students should discuss to link the content. Instead of remembering formulas, for example, students can find out how they are derived and used in everyday conditions. The assessment should also be understood from easy recall and evaluate logic. When students learn ideologically, they become more curious, confident and favorable. This change not only improves academic results, but also prepares students for life success beyond the classroom.

Non-Verbal cues are effective gear in classroom control, allowing instructors to guide behavior and maintain order without interrupting the glide of a lesson. Simple moves like eye touch, hand alerts, facial expressions, or strategic movement across the room can talk expectancies honestly and flippantly. For instance, a raised eyebrow or a steady gaze can signal to a scholar that their conduct desires adjusting, without the need for verbal confrontation. These cues help keep a high-quality studying environment by means of lowering disruptions and preserving the trainer on top of things with out escalating anxiety. When used always, non-verbal verbal exchange builds a quiet, respectful surroundings in which college students understand and reply to subtle steerage. It also minimizes the lack of instructional time, as teachers can accurate behavior even as persevering with to interact the rest of the class. By learning non-verbal cues, educators can control classrooms extra correctly, promote self-consciousness among students, and create a lifestyle of mutual appreciate.

when I introduced STEAM education in my school, our senior teachers also participated and joined this platform for student learning. This method is not fun for students only but teachers also enjoying and learning from this platform.

As a STEAM focal person of my school. I have arranged a whole school competition. My talented students ae explaining their science working model in this picture.

Including art in steam (science, technology, engineering science, arts and mathematics), traditional voice changes by promoting creativity, important thinking and innovation. While VOT creates analytical and technical skills, art imagination, sympathy and design thinking encourages it is necessary to solve problems in the real world in human-centered and innovative methods. Art helps students express complex ideas visually and emotionally, which is more attractive and general learning. In the rapidly developed world, steam training students not only invented, but also to imagine better future.

@Lubna8e2f861bdf Non-verbal cues are often more honest and immediate than spoken words. By becoming more aware and intentional about them, both teachers and students can create a more connected, responsive, and dynamic learning environment.

@Lubna8e2f861bdf said in Teachers are the movers and shakers of the society:

eachers play a vital role in reshaping the society. They just no teach subjects but they also paly important role in the Character building of the Teachers bring positive changes in the Through the dedication of the teachers students become responsible citizens. When they become responsible citizens so the society becomes prosperous. So it is the teacher who are the society change agents.

Teachers play a vital role in reshaping society. They don’t just teach academic subjects — they are instrumental in the character building of their students. Through their dedication, values, and example, teachers instill discipline, empathy, honesty, and responsibility in young minds.

@Lubna8e2f861bdf welcome to the forum

@MAHNOOR-Ali Beautifully expressed! Non-verbal cues are indeed a powerful and often underrated classroom tool. A simple glance, gesture, or pause can guide behavior, maintain lesson flow, and keep the environment calm and focused. When students recognize and respond to these cues, it builds mutual respect and encourages self-awareness. Mastering this silent language truly transforms classroom management into a more positive and responsive experience.

@MAHNOOR-Ali In whole school steam activity you have to design an activity in which you can involve maximum students from every class. for example:
Grade 1: Made a circle on the board. Grade 2: Marked the center of the circle and its diameter. Grade 3: Measured the diameter and noted it down. Grade 4: Measured the circumference and measured it down. Grade 5: Divided the circumference with the diameter and noted down the answer.

@Partab-Kumar Those are really thought-provoking questions! AI definitely changes the way we learn and think, but I don’t believe it limits our brain’s natural abilities—rather, it shifts how we use them. AI can support critical thinking if used wisely, by providing information and perspectives that students then analyze and question. However, teaching emotional intelligence and empathy is still very much a human skill that AI can’t fully replicate. I think students today might be thinking differently—more digitally and visually—but not necessarily less critically. With proper guidance, we can absolutely train students to use AI as a powerful tool to boost their reasoning and creativity instead of replacing it. What do you think?

@MAHNOOR-Ali That’s a thoughtful reflection! SLO-based lesson planning truly adds clarity and purpose to teaching. When learning outcomes are clear and shared with students, it boosts their engagement and accountability. It also sharpens assessment, enabling tailored instruction and focused support. Plus, SLOs offer a valuable framework for teachers to reflect and improve their methods. Overall, this approach creates a more intentional and effective learning experience for everyone.

@ateeque-soomro Absolutely! Non-verbal communication, like gestures and eye contact, can positively impact students when used carefully. It helps manage the class, supports understanding, and builds strong connections, especially with shy or struggling learners.

@Imamuddin-Khaskh Absolutely right! Games are a powerful tool to capture students' attention and make learning enjoyable.

@Imamuddin-Khaskh said in Gamification In Education:

games are good, they attract students to pay more attention. while games take place in any subject, we should take care of the whole class and make sure that every student takes part in it.
participation of every student matters.

@Rafia-Khokhar Exactly! Games capture learners’ attention by making learning fun, interactive, and rewarding. This engagement is especially effective for younger learners or those with short attention spans, as it transforms abstract concepts into hands-on experiences. By turning lessons into challenges or adventures, games motivate students to participate actively, think critically, and retain information more effectively—all while enjoying the process.

@Engr-Zeeshan thankyou sir for encouraging me.

@Burfatmukhtiar Beautifully said! STEAM is not just a model of education — it is the life of minds. It represents what we need to grow, what we think to solve, and how we express and innovate. Science gives us knowledge, technology connects us, engineering builds our world, arts inspire creativity, and mathematics helps us make sense of it all. Together, STEAM reflects the way our minds work—curious, logical, creative, and inventive. It's not just a way to learn; it’s a way to live, think, and shape the future.
