Lessons fit to introverts

Conclussion

Introverted students prefer working on their own

learning style of introverts is "reflective".

According to Mecchia (2017), the introvert students :

prefer to work on their own,

prefer to be allowed to observe

get uncomfortable when they are called out or pressured to answer or speak publicly

need to participate in class in a meaningful manner; if not, they will become rather absent minded

are influenced by different changes of pace and this requires a lot of readjustment time for them

Encourage asynchronous communication such as writing

asking the student to respond rather than waiting for him to raise his hand.

Using certain applications that could provide students with the chance to contribute to in-class discussions

Group assignments that work for introverts

Speaking and presenting in class

Another useful strategy is the “think-pair-share”

gives them the chance to have a private space to express their thoughts and ideas in their own way

Such as the teacher can do the rotation

With this rotation, all students will take part in the activities in a certain sequence.

This will encourage introvert students to be actively involved in the classroom

can also help class engagement and class participation for introverts

brings less pressure and can be done individually.

Example : online activity via Moodle or Kahoot

Introvert student may perform in small group

They will perform well if every members know their own role in groups.

Giving a different role to each member is an important element in this activity because otherwise, the introvert will be dominated by the strong and expressive extroverts in the group.

introverts can help by taking notes, giving ideas

One common thing introvert students have is being uncomfortable and anxious when called upon in class.

Public speaking is simply not their strong suit, especially full-class discussions can switch their attention and focus

Making changes in the way group assignments and presenting in class can bring introverts and extroverts closer together and encourage them to shine in their own unique way.

Teachers must do the presenting activities in groupping

When the teacher ask a question, they can discuss with their partner.

In this way, they only have to share their answers with their partner, rather than the whole class.

They will not be ashamed to give their opinions and answers

Teachers must accept introvert students like other normal student so that they do not feel neglected and unappreciated

effort of using appropriate mechanisms can help introverts feel appreciated in the classroom
