What are the “d” zones? (Hattie 2009)
- below 0: straight bad - reverse effects actually do harm
- 0-0.15: what students could achieve without schooling - effects from development and maturation
- 0.15-0.4: typical effects of teachers on students that can be accomplished in a year of teaching
- 0.4 and above: zone of desired effects
purpose of the course?
dedicated to effective classroom management practices informed by principles of educational psychology, sociology, and brain based research. and modeling best practices
human development is…
- cognitive/thinking
- social
- personal (personality)
- physical
(maturing takes place over time, not same for everyone)
three questions across all theories?
- nature or nurture?
- continuity vs discontinuity?
- timing
continuity?
smooth and upwards
discontinuity?
when you move along, something happens, and then you change
three principles of development?
- occurs at different rates
- is relatively orderly (progress - up) (learn and unlearn)
- happens gradually
Four influences of development:
- biological maturation
- activity
- social transmission (talking and learn from each other)
- equilibration (when challenged, there is disequilibrium)
what is a gloquex
type of diffuser thing, emits electromagnetic waves, helps change moods
what is a scheme?
mental system or category of perception and experience.
- basic building blocks of thinking, as more organized thinking takes place, a new scheme develops.
we are born with two basic tendencies (or invariant functions)..
organization and adaptation
4 qualities of organization
combining, arranging, recombining, and rearranging
2 ways of adaptation:
assimilation, and accommodation
what do we do when you assimilate?
fitting new information into existing schemes (gather what I know and conclude something)
what do we do when we accomodate?
altering existing schemes or creating new ones in response to new information
difference between assimilation and accommodation?
- assimilation occurs when they incorporate
new objects into the scheme - accommodation occurs when a new object does not
fit into the existing scheme
Equilibrium / Disequilibrium
searching for balance between cognitive schemes and the world we live in
- scheme works: = equilibrium
- scheme doesn’t work = disequilibrium
what to do when experiencing cognitive disequilibrium?
use assimilation and accommodation
invariant functions define
our “basic instincts” or inherent tendencies. Organization and Adaptation.
organization define
combining, arranging, recombining, and rearranging behaviour and thoughts into coherent systems. It is our tendency to organize our thinking into schemes
scheme define:
an organized system of action or thought that allows us to think about the objects and events in our world. (sucking scheme -
schema define:
a basic structure for organizing information: a concept (brining new info, you can add to it)
adaptation define:
adjusting to environment through assimilation and accommodation
equilibration define:
searching for balance between cognitive schemes and information from the world we live in. As we seek this balance, we organize and adapt.
accommodation define:
when the existing schemes do not fit, we change our schemes to make new information fit.
assimilation define
when we use existing to make sense of events in our world. It involves trying to understand something new by fitting it into what we already know
concept map
concept maps are useful because students make up a definition of words and whatnot and cater it to their own understanding/learning
scheme theory
short “a” sound
- scheme works for bat, fat, etc
- scheme doesn’t for gate date, etc
we then assimilate and then accommodate (to create a new scheme)
Piaget’s 4 stages of cognitive development
- sensorimotor
- preoperational
- concrete operational
- formal operational
sensorimotor stage general info and age
0-2yrs, where thinking involves the 5 senses
sensorimotor stage, more in depth
develop our 5 senses, simple reflexes, how we build habits (object permanence- understanding things still exist after they are hidden or gone. only 1 POV in the world
preoperational stage general info and age
2-7yrs, when beginning to use symbols (ie words) to represent objects
preoperational stage, more in depth
learn to speak and understand words, and symbols, and drawing family, playing pretend. age 4: we ask lots of questions - intuitive age. we think others see the world like we do
concrete operational stage general info and age
7-12 yrs, when beginning to think logically about concrete, hand-on, problems
concrete operational stage, more in depth
discover logic, sorting objects in order, inductive reasoning, if we see someone pour glass (tall glass big glass idea). reversing operations (5+3=8 and understand that 8-3=5)
formal operational stage general info and age
12-adult: when able to think hypothetically and deductively. solves abstract problems
formal operational stage more in depth
teenagers - think about abstract concepts, why ppl behave the way do and maybe becoming compassionate - philosophize, egocentric
sensorimotor science
- object permanence
- logical goal directed actions emerge
