Q

What are the “d” zones? (Hattie 2009)

A
  • below 0: straight bad - reverse effects actually do harm

  • 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

39
Q

preoperational science

A
  • thinking begins to become separate from action
  • semiotic function: use symbols to represent objects (language, gestures, pictures)
  • egocentrism: assuming others see the world the same way as you
  • collective monologue: tendency to speak without interaction or communication
  • difficultly with reversible thinking and conversation
40
Q

concrete operational science

A
  • conservation - the number or amount of something stays the same as long as nothing is added or taken away. Some characteristics of an object remain the same despite changes in appearance
  • decentering: focus on more than one aspect at a time
  • compensation: changes in one dimension can be offset by changes in another dimension
  • classification: grouping objects into categories
  • reversibility: to think through a series of steps and then mentally reverse the steps to the starting point
  • seriation: arranging the objects in sequential order by one aspect such as size, weight, or volume
41
Q

formal operational science

A
  • abstract thinking
  • hypothetico-deductive reasoning: a problem solving strategy in which one begins by identifying all the factors that might affect the problem and then deduces and systematically evaluates specific solutions.
42
Q

implications of Piaget’s theory for teachers

A
  1. gives understanding of how students think: “match” teaching approach to each cognitive stage
  2. since learners construct knowledge, teachers can build on what is learned
  3. students learn through PLAY (important)
  4. disequilibrium motivates learning
43
Q

limitations of Piaget’s theory for teachers

A
  • the trouble with stages: some young ones can do things older kids can do (overlap)
  • understanding children’s abilities
  • cognitive development and culture
44
Q

sociocultural theory

A
  • human activities take place in social settings and cannot be understood apart from these settings
  • social interactions create our cognitive structures and thinking processes
45
Q

diff between Piaget and Vygotsky

A

piaget: not natural for all children
vygotsky: learning proceeds cog dev. - we know kids can learn from peers and adults

46
Q

indigenous vs west

A

important to know that western cultures encourage competition vs indigenous focuses on encouraging family

47
Q

three main influences of cog dev (vygotsky)

A
  • social sources of individual thought
  • cultural tools
  • role of language
48
Q

sources of individual thought

A
  • knowledge is co-constructed through shared activities

- the co-constructed idea are then internalized

49
Q

cultural tools

A
  • material (physical)

- psychological (language and symbols)

50
Q

role of language

A
  • language is central to sociological theory because it is the primary means of information transmission between expert and learner
  • private speech guides development / a form of self-regulation
51
Q

development is shaped?

A

shaped by a cooperative dialogue between children and more knowledgeable members of society. we develop on an interpsychological level first and an intrapsychological level next

52
Q

Vygotsky states?

A

“every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice; first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (interpsychological).

53
Q

cooperative dialogue and steps in self-regulation… language is used

A
  1. by others to shape and regulate our behaviour
  2. by us to shape and regulate the behaviour of others
  3. private speech to regulate our own behaviour
  4. silent inner speech to regulate our own behaviour
54
Q

vygotsky: cultural tools in depth

A
  • the real tools and symbols are passed from adult to child through formal and informal interactions
  • real tool: pens, paper, ruler, etc
  • private speech (self talk) eventually becomes inner speech (hot stove example)
55
Q

psychological / symbolic tools

A
  • language numbers, maths systems

- “psychological tools mediate all higher order mental processes such as reasoning and problem solving:

56
Q

zone of proximal development

A

the phase at which a child can master a task if given appropriate help and support

57
Q

role of capable mentors

A
  • prompt
  • cue
  • structure
  • break into parts
  • provide examples
  • scaffold
58
Q

prompt

A

activate’s students’ minds to help them go searching for info (in their tool kit) to help them apply their learning (IMPORTANT NOT TO SKIP)
- ex: what do readers do? what information do you have? what strategy is most efficient?

59
Q

cues

A

supports provided to students that point them in a successful direction without giving an answer narrowing the search by providing a directional guide
- ex: look at your notes. review page 47? what does this prefix mean?

60
Q

scaffolding

A

supports learning and problem solving that allows a student to grow in independence
- ex: providing visual models, showing examples, providing analogies/metaphors

61
Q

putting it all together step by step (vygotsky)

A
  1. more capable members of society co-construct knowledge with less capable members
  2. co-construction is a social process in which we interact and negotiate to create meaning or solve a problem
  3. we use cooperative dialogue to co-construct knowledge
  4. children develop on a interpsychological (social) level first and an intrapsychological (personal) level next
  5. zone of proximal development is where kids need to be in order to master a task with help and support
  6. we use cultural tools to assist in the co-construction of knowledge
62
Q

6 implications of vygotsky theory for teachers

A
  1. adults should listen and guide learning
  2. adults can assist students by scaffolding learning. give them story starters, outlines, and break learning into small units
  3. adults can assist students by prompting, reminding, and encouraging
  4. give students “tools” such as organizational strategies, dictionaries, word processors, the internet
  5. encourage dialogue in the class
  6. allow private speech for young children
63
Q

limitations to vygotsky’s theory

A
  • consists mostly of general ideas. vygotsky developed few applications of his theories for teaching
  • vygotsky did not detail cognitive processes underlying developmental changes
  • humans may be more biologically predisposed to learn

Erikson psychological theory

A

• Our identity is developed in our relationships with others and our culture.

• Each stage is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life. If the stage is
handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery. If the stage is managed poorly, the
person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy.
• The stages are interdependent so the impact of how one stage is developed can positively
or negatively impact other stages.
