Q

Cognitive skills

A

-horizontal decalage (apply new cognitive skills to all kinds of problems)
-The emergence of problem-solving rules from experience and trial and error (not necessarily age linked)

(does not mean you can transfer it to different things)(snow and you need to coat)-do not have the immediate capacity to apply what they learn from one thing to another
-if the shape of clay is different then the younger kids would say it is a different amount of clay (they may think the length is bigger…at 9-10 they would see that they weigh the same while before
-it is similar to conservation
-verticle declare same cognitive function at different stages ex, brought toddler in room can you move from here to that door, the child problem solve and get there, at 11 or 12 asks if they can draw a map from here to that door, same skill but different application, do it with physical body and do it with their mind

-EXAM How cognitive transfer in thing
Add picture from phone what is the relationship between horizontal decalage and conservation

Q

EXPERTISE

A

more knowledge an individual has about a topic the more efficient their information-processing system will work (despite age)
advanced skills in one area does not improve general levels of memory or reasoning
-experts in some areas without it influence expertise in all areas
-go after what things they are interested in example cars, doesn’t mean experts in math
-if child doesn’t believe they are good at math or read and sense of expertise decrease and affects their learning negatively

Q

Literacy

A

Balanced Approach- reading instruction that combines explicit phonics instruction with other strategies for helping children acquire literacy
early elementary school years are the best time to identify and help poor readers

-need to understand so they can apply
-helping at younger age is better because you can help push them forward and when you learn you read you do not need to apply
-why is it better 6-8, compared to 9-12
When you ar elittle there is no embarrass about their reading skills
At 9-12 they are older enough to know that others can be better than them and kids who do not like school because they have no motivation

21
Q

Emotional Intelligence
3 components:
🌲A
😃👍A
🥅T

A
  1. Awareness of our own emotions
  2. ability to express our emotions appropriately
  3. and the capacity to channel our emotions into the pursuit of worthwhile goals
    children’s ability to exercise control over their emotions in early childhood is strongly related to measures of academic achievement in high school

-like do not like math because you think your friend hates you and ruins your whole mind site
-this si used to say why do i feel good or bad on certain days that affect learning
-we need to attend to emotional intelligence things get easier because students are ready to learn
-learning about who you are and what you need to learn

22
Q

Achievement-

A

assess specific information learned in school (do you know it or not) ex, what are Erikson’s stages

-final exam is achievement

23
Q

Assessment

A
  • formal and informal methods of gathering information that can be used to improve learning (no grades or marks) -professor wants assessment test because you want to what your learning and how your learning-what people do care about how you take that knowledge and help people in the health care)
    Achievement tests may not measure what child learns in school (child may have learned the skill at home)

-final exam is achievement

24
Q

GROUP DIFFERENCES

A

when total scores in schooling are broken down into several separate skills some long-standing (and perplexing) patterns of gender differences emerge:
-girls have always achieved better school marks than boys for all subjects- especially language studies but also in science and math (with the latter going against the common narrative)
-girls have higher scores in schools
-the child who sits for long period time and sit the females are learning better because they try harder
-if you are not taught in a way that your not excelling
-this is an example of gender differneces
-you learn to take tests and get better and you adapt and then there is reduction in group differences

QHy group differences
Could be due to learning stylesL ANalytical (tendency to focus on the details of the tasks suits the school system) vs relational(tendency to ignore the details of the task in order to focus on the big picture)
If there is no systemic bias then there should be no differences in people droppin out

25
Q

ADHD IN FOCUS
premat risk factor not likely BED

A

The root cause is unknown; however, twin studies suggest a genetic basis
premature birth is a risk factor not likely due to the environment, diet or brain damage

26
Q

CHARACTERISTICS OF ADHD

A

Higher activity level, lower ability to sustain attention and control impulses. Treating/managing ADHD behavioural strategies, and/or stimulant medications

27
Q

Why would adhd be problematic in school and school achievement?

A

-the more sectional sctuides are neurodivergence
-there is a circular problem they do not achieve because they have different learning patterns and it if there reaction is bad with the school system they may have bad attitudes
-we need to take a look at some bias looked upon adn strip it down to not a group of people
-it is important to change the school system that finds childs needs so that they are successful

28
Q

SOCIAL COGNITIVE
Industry vs inferiority (Erikson)

A

development of a child’s sense of competence through mastery of culturally defined learning tasks

29
Q

SOCIAL COGNITIVE
Reciprocal determinism (Bandura)

A

interaction of personal, behavioral, and environmental factors
provides insight into the mechanisms that drive the development of self-efficacy
-if a child acts out they get punished, then a child who received the consequence this child has believed that the teacher hates him, are going to act out or act well in class
-school were developed in maximizing students and happens to be females

30
Q

SELF CONCEPT

A

from 6-12 kids’ understanding of themselves improves
The child moves through the concrete operational periods, the psychological self becomes more complex, more comparative, less tied to external features, and more centered on feelings and ideas

-influenced by the people in your life a
-slow decline and each part is not significantly different not a big drop

32
Q

MEANINGFULNESS

A

-when teachers and children learn together, share decisions, and respect and trust one another, children and teachers develop a stronger sense of who they are as humans in the world

-your desire to learn and retain information better if you enjoy it

33
Q

SOCIAL COGNITION
