    Notes on slide 1

    Thorndike and Skinner coined the terms influenced behavior and operant behavior respectively.Operant behavior is so because one is operating on, or influenced by the environment. Compared with classical conditioning, where the stimulus triggers a response; operant conditioning calls for the response to trigger the stimulus and thus, the response determines whether the stimulus occurs again. However, the influenced response must have resulted through a prior environmental change, or event.Our game conditions the user by rewarding or providing positive stimulus, acceleration, for correct or incorrect answers. Additionally, the user is provided a stimulus based upon the speed at which they respond. The quicker the response, the better the chance of reaching the finish line first.The reinforcement of the response with either a positive or negative stimulus is an example of positive or negative reinforcement.

    Building on what we already know- need classroom instruction of what multiplication isRepetition – playing on a regular basisBy breaking down skills or information into smaller chunksChunking – whole game series touches on all math factsPurpose & Interest – winning as a goal - fast pace holds interest – choose color of car (shows identity of student)

    With automaticity – more practice the betterDecision making skills – they have to choose the answer instantlySomething that does not happen consciously – pace & repetitionTeacher choosing learning activity – routine for effective transmission of knowledge – better than paper pencil timed tests

    Associations – relevant to what is covered in classPractice – game done regular basis will improve knowledge – availability outside of the classroomOther situations – can not be done in isolation, must also include connection back to the classroom Distractions – other cars and competition could be distracting (NEGATIVE ASPECT OF GAME) – however, can play by themselves at their own pace if competing against others is too stressful

    Rewards – trophy, beating classmatesSubject matter – having fun in a race - unique activity - fun vs. chore

    Program routine skills – duhReward with + reinforement – exciting fuhn game with trophyDirect Assessment – In order to get them right, need to apply knowledge thru classroom instructionClear Goals – learn info that was taught in class, LEARN X Facts and feeling comfortable doing it quickly

    2. Arcademic Skill Builder ArcadeGrand Prix Multiplication
      Successful technology software that touches on the Behaviorism method of learning
    3. 4 Behavioral Concepts
      Operant Conditioning
      Positive Reinforcement
      Shaping
      Missing Concepts – Prompting, Cueing & Fading
    4. Operant Conditioning
      Conditioning behavior – a simple form of learning involving the formation, strengthening, or weakening of an association between a stimulus and a response.
    5. Positive Reinforcement
      Increase desirable behavior
      Stimulus follows response
      Positive Reinforcement increase correct answer by car moving forward in race
    6. Shaping
      Method of successive approximations
      Variant of operant conditioning
      Behavior molded into desired form
      As student becomes successful at the game after playing on a regular basis, multiplication facts will be known quickly
      Student will perform better on curricular activities that require them to multiply
      Students will have more confidence with their mathematical skills when solving multiplication problems
    7. Behavioral Concepts Missing
      Prompting & Cueing
      Hint & Crutch
      Artificial Support
      i.e. allowing learners to try again if they get a question wrong
      Fading
      Reducing strength of prompt
      Eliminating help over time
    8. Prompts, Cueing & Fading?
      Positive
      Helps learners understand the correct answer before moving on to another question
      Negative
      Reduces speed of game
      Reduces competition
      Solution
      Level system
      Use of fading
    9. How do we learn?
      Building on what we already know
      Repetition
      Chunking
      Purpose & Interest
    10. How do we transfer learning into other contexts?
      With automaticity
      Decision making skills
      Teacher choosing learning activity
    11. How do we forget?
      No associations with material
      Not enough practice with skill
      Not applicable to other situations
      Distractions
    12. What drives us to learn?
      Extrinsic rewards
      Interest in subject matter
    13. What does it mean for teaching?
      Program that teaches routine skills
      Has reward or positive reinforcement
      Direct Assessment
      Clear Goals
    14. How can technology help?
      Helps with motivation and interest
      Game gives immediate feedback
      Interactive
      Seeing games as educational tools – rather than just a way to pass time
      We are math champions!
