Lecture 2 Flashcards
What is a cognitive load?
Refers to the effort used by our working or immediate memory (as opposed to long-term theory)
What are the three kinds of cognitive load?
- Intrinsic load
- Extraneous load
- Germane load
What is millers law?
Our short term memory can hold roughly 7 new facts +/-2
What is Cognitive off-loading?
The use of bodily actions and/or external devices to alter the information processing requirements of a task so as to reduce cognitive demand (counting on your fingers)
What are the 4E theories of Cognition?
- Embodied Cognition
- Embedded Cognition
- Extended Cognition
- Inactive Cognition
What is Embodied cognition?
Cognition cannot be fully described in terms of abstract mental processes (terms of representation). Rather, it must involve the entire body of the living system (brain and body)
What is embedded cognition?
Cognition is not an isolated event separate from the agent’s ecological niche.
Instead, it displays layers of co-determination with physical, social, or cultural aspects of the world.
What is Extended cognition?
Cognition is often offloaded into biological beings and non-biological (non-human) devices to serve a variety of functions that would be impossible (or too difficult) to be achieved by only by relying on the agent’s own mental processes.
What is Enactive cognition?
Cognition is conceived of as the set of meaningful relationships determined by an adaptive two-way exchange between biological and phenomenological complexity of living creatures and environments they inhabit and actively shape.
What is TPAC?
Technological Pedagogical Content knowledge.
What is CK (Content Knowledge)
The depth and breath of understanding about the ideas, topics, or subject-matter knowledge that a teacher is planning to teach to students.
-What we teach-
What is PK (Pedagogical Knowledge)
The depth and breath of understanding about a variety of instructional practices, strategies, and methods to promote students learning
-How we teach-
What is PCK?
Pedagogical Content Knowledge
The understanding needed to teach particular subject matter, including an understanding of assessments, common misconceptions, and adaptive instruction to diverse learners in specific subject matter.
What is TK?
Technology Knowledge
The depth and breath of understanding about technologies (new and old) for use in educational context.
-what we teach/learn with-
What is TPACK?
It is the framework that combines three kinds of teacher knowledge and tries to take into account how each of these knowledge work together in process.
What is TCK?
Technological Content Knowledge
Understanding of the reciprocal relationship between technology and content.
What is being taught often defines and is constrained by technology and their representational functional capabilities; what is being taught affords or suggests some technologies over others.
What is PTK?
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge
An understanding of technology and pedagogical practices, which can, and should, constrain and afford one another.
True or false:
Technologies are neither neutral nor unbiased
True.
Technology cannot be neutral as it can cause change.
What is media Ecology?
The study of media as environments
What did Neil Postman say about technology and education?
Technological change is neither additive nor subtractive. It is ecological
How is a technology ecological?
Because it has effects and side effects that reverberate through societies, affecting culture, politics, ect.
What is a tool-using culture?
Tools have two main purposes:
- to solve urgent physical problems
- support culture, that is to serve the symbolic world of art, politics, myth, ritual, and religion.
What is Technocarcy?
Tools play a central role in the thought-world of the culture to the point where tools bid to become the culture. Mechanical devices and bureaucracies increasingly arrive in the scene.
What is Technopoly?
Tools overtake the culture, and become a kind of technological theology. A technopoly flourishes when our defenses against a deluge of information breakdown and fail.
True or false:
- Every technology amplifies some aspect of our human experiences while simultaneously reducing another
True.
What did McLugan believe about media?
Media/information form the all-important ground against which all our perceptions and actions are figure.
What are McLugan’s 4 laws of Media?
- What dose it enhance?
- What will it Reverse?
- What dose it Retrieve?
- What dose it Obsolesce?
What is purpose of the four laws of media?
To sharpen our perception and understanding of technology
What is Ruben Puentedura’s SAMR model?
- Substitution (enhancement)
- Augmentation
(enhancement) - Modification (Transformation)
- Redefinition (Transformation)
What is Substitution within the SAMR model?
The computer Substitutes for another technological tool, without a significant change in the tool’s function
(Tech acts as a direct sub with no functional change)
What is Augmentation within the SAMR model?
The computer replaces another technological tool, with significant functionality increase.
(Tech acts as a direct sub, with functional improvement)
What is Modification within the SAMR model?
The Computer allows for the redesign of significant portions of a task to be executed.
(Tech allows for significant task redisgin)
What is Redefinition within the SAMR model?
The computer allows for the creation of new tasks, inconceivable without the computer.
(Tech allows for the creation of new tasks, preciously inconceivable)
What is an example of Substitution?
Microsoft word - Google docs
something else
What is an example of augmentation?
Google docs allows for peer editing and review on the fly. (word dose not)
(something extra)
What is an example of Modification?
Google docs connects with other google platforms
something new
What is an example of
redefinition?
Allows you to publish work directly to the web, connect to other cites and forms of media without ant hassle.
(completely new)
