...Describe your learning opportunity, what are you planning for the children to do? BE CLEAR and DETAILED. Be sure there is a connection to your anecdotal observation. My learning opportunity for the children is to plan them a challenging activity as well as incorporating basic and complex skills. My activity will help them develop cooperating, helping, regulating emotions and behavior, teamwork, and games with rules. My activity is a cooperative activity the children will be placed in teams and have to do three challenges in a minute or two. In my cooperative activity, there are three challenging games which are “Up the Escalators, The Great Wind Blows and Guess the Flavor”. In activity 1 “Up the Escalators”, there would be 5 teams of 3 players...

...to explain it to others, is when real learning has occurred and personal knowledge has been acquired. Nowadays is indeed true for learners in a variety of guided situations. The natural reaction of mulling over a complex problem or situation with others allows for deeper levels of reasoning, new perspectives, shared responsibilities and greater motivation to remain focused on the learning. A practical implication when conversation and interaction is encouraged rather than discouraged is more noise, less quiet; greater movement, reduced lecturing. When teachers have participated in workshops designed with this style of learning. Teachers need to recognize collaboration as a viable method of creating individual meaning, and learning courses. 2. Point of View 1. Defining of Learning 2. Defining of Teaching 3. Understanding of Language Learning 4. Elements of Language Learning CHAPTER II EXPLANATION Defining of Learning We use the term 'learning' all the time in everyday life. But within the field of educational psychology, the term learning is actually a specific term. Different people use different words to define learning within educational psychology, but in general, we're talking about a step-by-step process in which an individual experiences permanent, lasting changes in knowledge, behaviors, or ways of processing the world. Let's go through a few examples of different types of learning you might hear about in the field of...

...Describe and evaluate the social learning theory approach in psychology. The social learning theory approach argues that it is the mediational processes which lie between the stimulus and response, influence our behaviour and the way we act. This is when we witness a certain action and then thought processes occur, this is where we consider how we behave. For example, a child may be watching the tweenies’ and witness reinforcement for good behaviour, they then would like the same reinforcement and therefore imitate this good behaviour. Another assumption of the social learning theory is that learning can occur by observation of others, such as role models. Social learning psychologists argue that we are more likely to imitate people who are similar to us, people in high status and people who are of the same gender and are warm, supportive people. An example, many young boys may imitate David Beckham by playing football and dressing the way he does, this is because of his high status. The social learning theory also believes can be a result of direct reinforcement and indirect of various reinforcement. An example of this is a child observing another child being rewarded for a behaviour and then decides to imitate this behaviour. Indirect reinforcement is when a child in the audience watches a child receive a medal for winning in a match the child in the audience watches this and wants to do the same. ‘modelling’ is when someone is modelling out behaviour with no intention...

...Running head: How Do I Learn Best How Do I Learn Best Kelli Powell Grand Canyon University: NRS 429V September 30, 2012 What is a learning style? Well a learning style is the way a person tends to learn best. It involves your preferred method of taking in, organizing, and making sense of information, Lake Washington Institute of Technology (2012). Some people prefer to learn by doing and touching, others prefer to learn by seeing, or by hearing the information. Still others learn using more than one learning style. If a person was interested in finding out what their particular learning style is would be to take the VARK questionnaire for learning styles. The most common learning style is the multimodal, but the learner can switch from one type of learning style to another depending on what the subject is being learned and or their mood, Fleming (2011). After taking the VARK questionnaire, Multimodal learning styles was assessed as the learning style of choice. The multimodal learning environments allow instructional elements to be presented in more than one sensory mode (visual, aural, written, and kinesthetic), Sankey, Birch & Gardiner (2010). In this particular case visual and kinesthetic were the dominate methods of learning. Strategies of learning that this person uses are highlighting and underlining notes, grouping subjects together with a certain color highlighter, use of charts, graphs and images to help them learn the subject matter. They...

...Describe and evaluate the learning theory explanation of attachment. Attachment is a strong emotional bond between an infant and their caregiver. When an infant is attached to their primary caregiver (usually their mother) they show signs of distress when they are separated and pleasure when they are reunited. The leaning theory suggest that these attachments are learned and the learning is motivated through drives such as hunger. These kind of drives which are related to biological needs are known as primary needs. Learning can be due to associations being made (Classical conditioning) or behaviour can be altered by reinforcements or punishments (Operant conditioning). Learning through association is called classical conditioning. It’s a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired to the point where the response that happens from the unconditioned stimulus now happens when only the conditioned stimulus is present. This is because they have been associated. An example of this in attachment is between a baby and its other as they provide it with food when it’s hungry, getting rid of the hunger and instead making it happy. Eventually the mother then becomes associated with the satisfaction of the unconditioned stimulus (the food) and so becomes the conditioned stimulus. Meaning the baby shows signs of happiness when they are present even if the food is not. Operant conditioning is the process of changing behavior by rewarding or punishing a subject...

...Module 1 DQ 1 I believe that the undergraduate learning experience is a period where there is the introduction to new information. This information is embedded in subject area of concentration that is delivered by the instructor. During this undergraduate period there is a change that happens in the mind of the student as they become familiar with the subject being studied. The student begins to adjust their thinking to the principles, terms and theories of the subject. In a graduate learning community the student has a level of knowledge that is now being expanded upon. The purpose of this in my opinion is to develop a level of mastery in the subject. The student also learns how to develop a deeper understanding of the subject that exceeds that of the undergraduate student and has the ability to develop ideas based on subject mastery that can possibly progress the development in that area of study going forward. I would describe a graduate learning community as a group of students and staff that share the same interests in objectives based on an area of study; that allow these people to learn, grow and develop together. In the learning community I believe that the key elements would include a malleable structured environment for learning that permits both the instructors and students to have input in the way in which the classes are designed. Learning communities must also promote an environment that creates a thirst for knowledge based on both instructor and student perspectives...

...Abstract Teachers are expected to create their own lesson plan. It is a guideline for teachers learn pedagogical concepts in students’ education. It is also a conceptual methodological tool that helps teachers in making a lesson plan on a desire topic so that they can implement the lesson plan and assess its results. An objective is very important part of the lesson plan due that it describe the purposes and aims of the learning outcomes. Learning outcomes outline the significant learning results that the students are expected to achieve and demonstrate at the end of the class. In this process students can identify the skills and knowledge they have learned after the subject is taken place. The ABCD method is also a big part in creating a lesson plan that helps in writing instructional objectives that could integrate Bloom’s taxonomy of learning theory and two dimensional frame works. These methods are essential tools in guiding the teacher in preparing and implementing his or her lesson plan properly and orderly. Key words: instructional objectives, learning theory, learning outcomes The ABCD method of writing objective is widely uses in every structure instructional objectives. The ABCD methods can be used in Grade 7 Math class with multicultural classroom. In today’s classroom population are increasingly diverse. With these type of population teachers should and must strive to meet the standards set by government and school district in reaching these students...

They will need to research this information for their chosen rock of study and apply it to their short poem and timeline included in their pamphlet. If students are choosing to create a pamphlet about marble, for instance, they will need to understand that this rock is classified as a metamorphic rock and is often used for sculptures and countertops. Students will also need to describe the rock cycle in order to successfully create a timeline that demonstrates how marble is formed. Students will also need to practice fluency and creative expression skills. Specifically, students need to be able to read accurately, at an appropriate pace, and with meaningful expression. Teachers will want to use the exemplars provided in this cornerstone to support students in applying previous knowledge and skills to this project. PLACEMENT WITHIN THE UNIT Before:...

...a. Explain a learning theory observed in the video. The Learning theory used in this video is cognitive learning. The basics of cognitive learning theories view thought as an active pursuit, a basis of experience is used to form new information, a persons view detailing new information, a social environment to take on new knowledge, and practicing with this new knowledge to build on new information .By learning in a social environment, children enlarge their collection of experiences by considering the experiences of others. The process of learning is intensified with memory of past experiences and with new ones. By using these thoughts to form a learning environment the teacher makes the learning environment more natural to the students. Cognitive learning theories infuse the classroom curriculum with meaningful interaction .This theory had major input from theorist Piaget who believed that child play is critical for development of intelligence and that children learn by doing more so than other learning methods. Cooperative learning is part of Cognitive learning. During cooperative learning students must work in groups to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals. Students are shown how to help each other overcome problems and complete whatever task has been assigned. This may involve episodes of peer tutoring, temporary assistance, exchanges of information and material, challenging of each others reasoning, feedback, and encouragement to keep one another motivated...
