access to pre-requisite knowledge plus ample practice with feedback
to develop declarative knowledge you need to
- make it meaningful
- use visual images and keywords
- use mnemonics
- use rote memorization
to develop procedural knowledge you need to
- automatize basic skills
2. domain-specific strategies
some applications of constructivist theories in the classroom are:
cooperative learning and service learning
in order to encourage students to become motivated learners, teachers need to have…
an in-depth understanding of the complexity of motivation.
is hardworking vs lazy a good explanation for motivation
NO
motivation is in part influence by
our personal experience and the attributes that we assign to our experience
our success and failure play a crucial role in determining whether we are
likely to put an effort into a task
what interferes with learning by taking up mental space that could be used for problem solving and self regulation
anxiety
what encourages teachers to carefully consider their choices in learning tasks, instructional management and feedback
target
learning and motivation are influenced by
complex personal and social factors as well as classroom environment
personal factors are
self efficacy, attributions, needs, goal orientation and emotions
social factors are
modelling self efficacy and agency
classroom environment is
target model
effort to create a positive learning environment begin with
goo planning, setting clear rules and procedures, organizing classroom space
discipline problems are inevitable. Teachers need to exercise their caring concern to deal with them
effectively, relying on their empathy and active listening
teachers’ interventions should be delivered in
a firm assertive but non punitive manner reinforcing natural consequences and individual responsibility
effective learning requires
ample planning
good classroom management begins
at the beginning of the school year
discipline and resolution of conflict both involve
active and empathetic listening
teachers need to choose appropriate grading practices that balance
objectivity with authentic real life applications
high stakes testing can help
ensure accountability and provide some information about the effectiveness of schools
teachers should use results to
improve instruction, not to stereotype students or justify lower expectations
according to the cognitive view, knowledge is
learned
both behavioral and cognitive theorists believe reinforcement is
important in learning
behaviorist maintains that reinforcement
strengthens responses
cognitive theorists see reinforcement as
a source of feedback
the cognitive approach suggests that one of the most important elements in the learning process is
knowledge the individual brings to the learning situation
the human brain seems to both impact and is impacted by
learning
learning changes communication
among neurons
the path from sensory input to recognizing objects is
feature analysis or bottom-up processing
one explanation for how features are organized into patterns are
the Gestalt principles
working memory is both
short-term storage in the phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad and processing in the episodic buffer
to keep information activated in working memory for more than 20 seconds, people use
maintenance rehearsal (mentally repeating) and elaborative rehearsal (making connections with knowledge form long-term memory)
the capacity of working memory can be circumvented by
the process of chunking
cognitive load refers to
the volume of cognitive resources
if the cognitive load is high, it can decrease
the ability to perform a task
declarative knowledge is the knowledge that can be
declared in words. It is knowing that
procedural knowledge is
knowing how
self-regulatory knowledge is
knowing when and why
explicit memory is
semantic or episodic
implicit memory is
procedural, classical conditioning or priming
a concept is a category used to
group similar events, ideas objects…
concepts provide a manner of
organizing diversity among members of a group
long-term memories include concepts that
enable people to identify and recognize members of a group
what learning processes improve long-term memory
the way you learn information
the dual coding theory suggests that information coded
both verbally and visually is easier to remember
information lost from working memory
truly disappears
information in long-term memory
may be available given the right cues
declarative knowledge develops as
we integrate new information with our existing understanding
the most useful and effective way to learn and remember is to
understand and use new information
two types of procedural knowledge
automated basic skills and domain-specific strategies
three stages in the development of an automated skill
- cognitive
- associative
- autonomous
to support domain-specific knowledge, teachers most
provide opportunities for practice and application
what are the three metacognitive skill to regulate thinking and learning
planning, monitoring and evaluating
what are the sources of individual differences in metacognition
different paces of developments or biological differences among learners
how to help to develop metacognitive
for younger student use ‘look inside’ and for older build self-reflective
what are learning strategies
special kind of procedural knowledge, knowing how to do something
what key functions do learning strategies play
they help students become cognitively engaged focus. they encourage students to invest effort, make connections. They regulate and monitor their own learning
what are some procedures for developing learning strategies
develop motivation to use the strategies and tactics .
provide direct instruction in content knowledge
expose students to a number of different strategies
when will students apply learning strategies
if they are faced with a task that requires food strategies. think the effort to apply the strategies will be worthwhile and believe they can succeed
to apply deep strategies students must
assume that knowledge is complex and takes time to learn
what is problem-solving
it is both general and domain-specific
problem-solving strategies usually include the steps of
identifying the problem, setting goals, exploring possible solutions and consequences
both general and specific problem-solving are
valuable and necessary
to represent the problem accurately, you must understand both
the whole problem and its discrete elements
schema training may improve
this ability
