Unit 2 Week 5: Learning Needs Assessment, Developmental Theory, Motor Learning Flashcards
4 Phases of Kolb’s Learning Cycle
- Concrete experience (do it; here and now)
- Reflective Observation (think & reflect about it to give meaning )
- Abstract Conceptualization (think and draw conclusions)
- Active Experimentation (creatively and contextually adapt)
The Dynamic Matching/Experiential Learning Model
Thinking, acting, experiencing, reflecting
We can design the way we teach to move a client through this cycle.
Certain activities support different parts of the cycle.
Trying to get a learner through a complete cycle is the idea.
The Dynamic Matching/Experiential Learning Model states that the role fo the teacher must
connect with cycle/stage of learning they are in
If a patient is in the acting phase, the teacher must be:
A coach
Applied collaborative learner, one on one, feedback
If a patient is in the experiencing phase, the teacher must be:
A facilitator
warm affirming, personal relationship
If a patient is in the thinking phase, the teacher must be:
standard setter and evaluator
Objective results oriented, sets performance standards, structured to evaluate learning
If a patient is in the reflecting phase, the teacher must be:
subject expert
delivery of knowledge, reflective authoritative style
Assessment of the learner includes attending to the three determinants of learning:
- learning needs: what the learner needs to learn
- readiness to learn: when the learner is receptive to learner
- learning style: how the learner learns best
4 Piaget Stages of Development
sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, formal operational
Sensorimotor stage of development
0-2
understands world through senses and actions
Pre-operational stage of development
2-7
Understands world through language and mental images
Concrete operational stage of development
7-12
Understands world through logical thinking and categories
Formal operational
12 and up
Understands world through hypothetical thinking and scientific reasoning
Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years
Piaget:
sensorimotor stage
o Learning is through sensory experiences and through movement and manipulation of objects
Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years
Erikson
trust vs. mistrust (birth to 12 months), autonomy vs. shame and doubt (1-3 years)
o Building trust and establishing balance between feelings of love and hate; learning to control willful desires
Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years Characteristics
Education focuses on parents
Short attention spans, easily distracted, limited conceptual understanding
Language development limited
Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years Salient Cognitive Characteristics
responds to step-by-step commands; language skills develop rapidly during this stage
Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years Salient Psychosocial Characteristics
aggravated by personal and external limits; routines provide sense of security; will look to parents for response and teaching is often focused on parents through anticipatory guidance.
Interventions for Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years
o Procedures on teddy bears
o Simple explanations
o Sessions brief – 5 min
o Allow children to act out feelings
o Concrete explanations
Teaching strategies for Infancy and Toddlers – Birth to 2 years
o Focus on normal development, safety, health promotion, and disease prevention
o Use repetition and imitation
o Stimulate the senses
o Provide safety
o Allow for play and manipulation of objects
Early childhood 3-5 years
Piaget
preoperational stage
o Egocentric; thinking is literal and concrete; precausal thinking
Early childhood 3-5 years
Erikson
initiative vs. guilt
o Taking on tasks for the sake of being involved and on the move; learning to express feelings through play
Salient cognitive characteristics Early childhood 3-5 years
animistic thinking; limited sense of time; egocentric; transductive reasoning
Early childhood 3-5 years characteristics
o Motor skills improving
o Lack judgement
o Preoperational phase
o Able to recall past experiences
o Concept development early
o Curiosity, rule driven
o Limited sense of time
Salient psychosocial characteristics Early childhood 3-5 years
separation anxiety; play is his/her work; fears loss of body integrity; active imagination; interacts with playmates
Teaching strategies for Early childhood 3-5 years
Build trust
Allow for manipulation of objects
Use positive reinforcement
Encourage questions
Provide simple drawings and stories
Focus on play therapy
Stimulate the senses
Middle and Late Childhood 6-11
Piaget
concrete operations stage
o Developing logical thought processes and ability to reason syllogistically; understands cause and effect
Middle and Late Childhood 6-11
Erikson
industry vs. inferiority
o Gaining a sense of responsibility and reliability; increased susceptibility to social forces outside the family unit; gaining awareness of uniqueness of special talents and qualities
Salient cognitive characteristics Middle and Late Childhood 6-11
able to draw conclusions and intellectually can understand cause and effect
