Q

Explain Thorndike’s Law of Readiness

A

This law suggests that a person must be ready or prepared to learn. If an individual is ready to perform an act, doing so is satisfying, while not being able to perform it causes frustration. Likewise, if someone is not ready to perform an act and is forced to do so, it will be unpleasant.

Q

Q

Explain Thorndike’s Law of Exercise

A

According to this law, the more a behavior is practiced or repeated, the stronger the learning and the more likely the behavior will be performed correctly. Conversely, without practice, the learned behavior weakens.

Q

What is rote learning?

A

It’s when you learn something by repeating it over and over again until you remember it.

31
Q

Who was the proponent of the Subsumption/ Meaningful Reception Theory?

David Ausubel

For learning to be meaningful, you need to understand the new information and see how it fits with what you already know.

32
Q

Who was the proponent of the Gestalt Learning Theory? What was this theory all about?

A

Wolfgang Kohler; People learn best by understanding the entire situation or problem (the “whole”) rather than just focusing on separate parts of it.

Also, who was the proponent of this theory?

A

34

According to Piaget, this demonstrates what process of cognitive development?

A

Accomodation

35
Q

A child sees a cat for the first time and calls it a “dog” because it has four legs and fur. The child is trying to fit the new animal into their existing understanding of what animals are like.

A

Assimilation

36

A

Chronosystem

46
Q

[proponent’s] [name of theory] highlights the importance of social interaction, culture, and language in learning and development.

A

Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory/Social Constructivism

47
Q

Who coined the Zone of Proximal Development and what does it mean?

A

Lev Vygotsky

It refers to the range of tasks that a child can perform with the help and guidance of others but cannot yet perform independently. (I can do math if T.Thess gives me a hint)

48
Q

According to Kohler, the principle of [blank] suggests that the human eye is inclined to follow paths, lines, or curves in a continuous flow rather than perceiving abrupt changes.

A

Continuity

49
Q

According to Kohler, the principle of [blank] states that objects that are alike in appearance (such as color, shape, size, or texture) are perceived as being more related than objects that are not alike. Our minds group alike elements together.

A

Similarity

50
Q

According to Kohler, the principle of [blank] suggests that objects that are close to each other are perceived as being related, more so than objects that are spaced farther apart. Our brains group nearby elements together.

A

Proximity

51
Q

According to Kohler, the principle of [blank] emphasizes the importance of contrast in perception. It refers to the way we distinguish an object from its surrounding background.

A

Figure/Ground

A

Person variables

62
Q

What metocognition variable is being described below?

63
Q

What metocognition variable is being described below?

Q

What question would you ask a student if you were trying to decide whether they were an active vs reflective learner?

A

Do you prefer learning by doing or by thinking?

66
Q

What question would you ask a student if you were trying to decide whether they were an sensing vs intuitive learner?

A

Do you prefer concrete facts or abstract concepts?

67
Q

What question would you ask a student if you were trying to decide whether they were an visual vs verbal learner?

Do you prefer learning through images or words?

68
Q

What question would you ask a student if you were trying to decide whether they were an sequential vs global learner?

A

Do you prefer a step-by-step approach or understanding the big picture first?

Q

According to Ausubel, Subsumption is the process where new information is added to an existing framework of knowledge.

Enumerate and differentiate the two types of subsumption.

A
  1. Correlative Subsumption: This occurs when new information elaborates or modifies existing knowledge.
  2. Derivative Subsumption: This happens when new information is a specific example of a general concept that the learner already knows.
70
Q

What is the difference between active vs discovery learning?

A

Discovery Learning: Focuses on students discovering new knowledge on their own, with minimal guidance.

Active Learning: Involves students in activities that require active engagement with the material, often with more structured guidance from the teacher.
