25
What thinking about "Learning with technology" what would a Mindtool be?
Technological tools thatc an support and enhance problem solving and critical thinking.
26
What is the practical application of mindtools?
Advances in software and/or hardware tools can be used to solve problems, and construct and represent new knowledge.
27
What are some Generic tools that are used? | within the idea of mind tools and learning with technology
Spreadsheets, Databases, Multimedia, Construction, Concept mapping, ect.
28
What dose it mean to create computational artifacts/solutions?
You work transparently with computational tools to create computational artifacts and/or computational solutions.
29
What is the role of the learner when they are using computational tools?
They will engage in hypothesis testing, designing, planning, model building.
30
What are the three dimensions of mind tools?
Engagement Generativity Control
31
Within the three dimensions of Mind-tools, what two sub section is each dimension broken into?
Engagement: - Active - Passive Generativity: - Presentation - Creation Control: - Teacher/system - Student.
32
What are the three ways we learn in accordance to technology?
Learning about technology Learning with technology (mindtools) Learning from Technology.
33
What do we know about what learning is?
- Brain plays a role - Environmental & surrounding stimuli play a role - Based on associations - Occurs in social and cultural contexts
34
What learning model is most commonly used when looking at machine learning?
- Neural Network model
35
What is Operant Conditioning?
B.F. Skinner attempted to describe human behavior in terms of rewards and punishments.
36
What secondary theory was closely linked to Operant Conditioning?
Instructionalisum
37
What is the core foundation of operant conditioning?
Behaviors lead to consequences Consequences shape behaviors
38
What is a consequence in regards to operant conditioning?
A reinforcer that is designed to encourage the desired behavior.
39
What is the difference between classical and operant conditioning?
Classical - looks as a cause and effect relationship outside of punishment (bell = salivation) Operant - looks at the behavior as a response of avoidance of punishment.
40
What is another term for Direct Instruction?
Instructionism or Programmed Instruction
41
What is Instructionism?
A school of thought in which emphasis is placed on the teacher as the instructor, having complete control over what is to be learned and how it must be learned.
42
What is the role of the learner within Instructionism?
The learner is a passive recipient of knowledge, due to this being TEACHER CENTERED LEARNING
43
How is learning structured within Instructionism?
Learning is receiving content & exploring ideas of the teacher defined goals
44
What is the goal of education within Instructionism?
Education is about changing student behavior.
45
What was Jean Piaget's theory of education?
ConstructiVism
46
What is the idea around ConstructiVism?
A learner must construct/build their own knowledge progressively through experience.
47
What is a Stage Theorist?
The idea that there is a link between intellectual ability and biological development.
48
What are the four stages of intellectual development within ConstructiVism?
1. Sensorimotor (0-2) develop object permanence 2. Preoperational (2-7) - egocentric language 3. Concrete operational (7-12) - better understanding of physical objects 4. Formal operational (12-death)
49
What is the process of ConstructiVism?
The individual learns to build internal knowledge representations through the process of: - assimilation - accommodation - equilibration resulting in: Schema
50
What is Assimilation within ConstructiVism?
Fit the practice to the theory - Complex but familiar external objects are simplified to fit pre-existing categories in your head.
51
What is accommodation within ConstructiVism?
Fit theory to practice: - You have to change the ideas in your head to fit the realities of external objects.
52
What was Vygotsky's contribution to ConstructiVism?
He developed Social ConstructiVism
53
What is the difference between ConstructiVism and social ConstructiVism
ConstructiVism: focuses on the individual Social ConstructiVism: Focuses about the community
54
What is the core concept around social ConstructiVism?
Children co-construct knowledge through interactions within others (adults, peers, advanced peers)
55
Within social ConstructiVism: complete this statement - Learning can lead ____
Development.
56
Can development be separated from its social context?
No it cannot.
57
What is the one of the central aspects within the role of development ?
Language is a cultural tool that leads to development.
58
What is the social environment within social ConstructiVism?
Self-regulated, private speech, thought & language. The Zones proximal to development.
59
What is Buner's ConstructiVism?
The idea that learning thinking is on a continuum from concrete thinking to abstract thinking.
60
Within Bruner ConstructiVism, what are the three categories of thinking within the continuum?
Concrete thinking - Inactive (doing): learning through actions with objects - iconic (images): Learning through actions with images - Symbolic: learning through actions with symbols. Abstract thinking
61
What is the Bruner's Spiral Curriculum?
Complex ideas can be taught at a simplified level first, and complex levels later. Gradually increasing in difficulty.
62
What is Bruner's Discovery Learning theory?
A ConstructiVism learning theory that takes place in problem solving situations, the learner draws on past experiences and existing knowledge to discover facts and relationships.
63
Within the discovery learning theory, how do students learn?
They learn through their interactions with the world. Through exploring and manipulating objects, wresting with questions, or performing experiments.
64
What is the key concept of the Discovery theory?
Students are more likely to remember concepts when knowledge is discovered
65
What is Constructionism?
A theory that empathizes the idea that learning happens most felicitously when the learner is engaged in the construction of something external or at least shareable.
66
What is the core concept around Constructionism?
Building involves both process and Product.
67
What are the four pillars of Constructionism?
1. Designing meaningful projects in a social context. 2. Creation of tangible artifacts using objects (virtual or concrete) 3. Powerful ideas empower the learner 4. Reflection and refine artifacts through social interaction and sharing.
68
What is top down learning?
Learning from an already established medium of knowledge
69
What is bottom up learning?
