Reading Log 1 In chapter 1 of Learning and Instruction: Theory into Practice by Margaret E. Gredler, the reader is introduced to an abundance of information regarding theory development in relation to the classroom, rules for teaching according to different theorists and principles, developments that are grabbing the attention of teachers, such as constructivism and research on the brain, and the reader is briefly introduced to seven perspectives, or theories, that are going to be explained and
Introduction The general explanation of the paradigms Behaviorism refers to the school of psychology that is based on the belief that behavior can be measured, trained and changed. It is also a theory of learning based upon the ideas that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning and it is a systematic approach to the understanding of living organisms in relation to environmental events. It is primarily concerned with the observable and measurable aspects of human behaviors. Behaviorist view
student’s daily lives into the curriculum. This means a teacher may use poplar slang or use prior knowledge, and interest’s things such as music or sports. This can help the students feel comfortable with the teacher and they may be more receptive to learning in that teacher’s class (Rajagopal, 2015). Some may feel this method is based on a particular culture method such as the “black way” or “Hispanic way”. Just because the students are of a different race or ethnic background does not mean they need
the Learning Trajectory (LT) are used in various studies and even use a variety of terms to define these constructs. Simon (1995) is expert who first introduced the term of LT with Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT). Another term that is often used is the learning trajectory (Douglas H. Clements, & Sarama 2004), learning progressions (Corcoran, Mosher & Rogat 2009; National Research Council 2007; C. L. Smith et al. 2006). However, the use of different terms to refer to the student learning path
TS100 - Assessment 3. Student Name: Caroline Crowley Student Number: EN249359 Deadline for submission: 10a.m. Monday 8th December, 2014. Word Count: 2000 words Title: “Constructivism is about thinking and the thinking process ,rather than about the quantity of information a student can memorize and recite……………..This does not mean that content is not important . On the contrary, content is very important; however, in a constructivist classroom, a teacher does not stand and deliver most or even
to devise new conjectures. The learning gap in mathematics of high school students causes for an alarm. Many high school students who are enrolled in Algebra 2 or Geometry lack the fundamental mathematical skills to succeed. High school mathematics teachers have difficulty filling this void while meeting prescribed time frame for units and benchmarks. For this reason, I want to explore the topic: Constructivism: How does constructivism impact the teaching and learning of mathematics in four middle
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES AND STUDIES This chapter presents the discussions of related literature and studies pertaining to the concepts being established in this study. Topics discussed in the literature are Science literacy, Constructivism, Activity-Based Learning Approach, Information Processing Approach, elements of IPA and impacts of IPA in student’s performance. The related literatures and research findings are taken from books, websites on the internet, local studies, and theses. Importance
Up to now, there are a lot of theories of teaching and learning about how people learn. However, there are three sets of learning theory widely used in different disciplines. They are: Behaviourism, cognitivist, and constructivism. I will try to discuss concisely definition of these three learning theory. The principle idea of the behaviourist theory is that learning comprises of a change in behaviour based on the acquisition, strengthening and application of connotations between stimuli from the
school curriculum primarily in England and Wales. According to the new approach of autonomy, it is advisable not to load the child with a burden of information but to create a favorable environment where the child will take spontaneous interest in learning with integrity and autonomy and become responsible citizens, contributing to the growth of the country (Arlow, 2013). The teacher’s expertise will consist of creating a pedagogical content which will encourage the student into active participation
number of studies and theories have addressed the issue of simulation in nursing education, and especially how learning is being affected by the use of simulation in teaching. In published and unpublished materials, several authors have examined the different dimensions through which learning can be enhanced by the use of simulation. Constructivism Constructivism places the learner in an active role rebuilding their knowledge based on new experiences. Constructism is a theory that permits learners
