Assessment For Learning Strategies
There are a range of assessment for learning strategies that can be used to help students develop language, literacy and numeracy. These strategies can
be integrated in classes where students demonstrate a diverse range in language, literacy and numeracy skills (LLN). William (2009) outlined 5
assessment for learning strategies that can be used to assist teachers in creating assessments that are not only summative but as ongoing formative
activates that students can benefit from. In this essay we will explore 4 of the strategies from the original 5 mentioned by William (2009) and discuss
how they can be integrated in the classroom and how feedback can be provided to both students and their parents. The 4 strategies include clarifying

In this process teachers can sometimes forget that students are capable of self regulation. This can happen through self assessment that teachers
integrate into the classroom. By introducing opportunities for students to reflect on their learning with aids such as logs, graphs, checklists and
scaffolded reflection worksheets they are encouraged to think critically about their own learning. Furthermore they may be asked what they believed
they did well during the assessment and what aspects they could improve on. A part of this self–assessment process may include the use of goal setting.
Fushs and Fushs (1986) found in their meta–analysis that both short term goals and long term goals used as a part of systematic formative evaluation
can improve academic performance. They also found that goal setting had a profound effect even on students undertaking special education which
would include students with a non–English speaking background. These finding would suggest that students with high LLN needs can also benefit
from the use of goals as a part of self

Teaching Strategies For Learning Style Preferences
It is in this article that Beck matches three teaching strategies to learning style preferences. During which he attempts to link the 4MAT system, Dunn's
LSI, and the Renzulli & Smith's LSI to teaching strategies associated to display individual learning preferences linked to the brain's hemispheres. The
4MAT system and Dunn's LSI is teacher driven teaching strategies while the Renzulli & Smith's LSI allows student input into their teaching strategies.
In linking the 4MAT system to teaching strategies, Beck further explores why certain teaching strategies are more successful and hemispheric
appropriate when adapted to their individual natural tendencies. Student learning tendencies are associated with left– mode, right– mode, or multi–
mode tendencies. Dunn 's LSI includes a wide range of motivations that teachers should consider when determining individual learning styles that may
include psychological and cognitive variables. However, Renzulli & Smith's LSI permits student to provide their input to list their favorite to least
favorite activities. All three LSI have significance, but it is ultimately the teacher's role to provide opportunities for each student to unharness their
potential.

The Learning And Teaching Strategies
Many great learning and teaching strategies are presented in the text, How we learn... of which a few learning tactics, namely discrimination,
perceptual learning, chunking and interleaving will be briefly discussed as to how they have relevance in my context. To begin we will examine
discrimination, the brain's ability to "detect minute differences in sights, sounds and textures. [Such is considered]...one of the first steps we take in
making sense of the world" (Carey, 2012, p.180). This learning technique occurs often during HT training as students detect differences in breathing
patterns of those being treated, l see slight tremors or body twitches that accompanies release of stagnate energy and perceived smoothness of textures
in the human energy field (Mentgen & Bulbrook, 2011). Next, perceptual learning occurs as the brain takes notice of subtle differences in techniques,
such as hand positions that seem the same but may not have the same therapeutic effect. Another learning strategy that can be useful in HT training is
chunking which is the simple act of grouping bits and pieces of information together to make a whole (or at minimal a segment) of a concept. For
example words stringed together create sentences and sentences which are connected formulate paragraph. In the case of HT chunking is necessary as
a series of hand movements and/or places equate to a specific healing technique. The final relevant strategy from the text is that if interleaving, "a

Identifying Optimal Learning Modes / Strategies
No one can deny the fact that a person's education is the most significant aspect of his/her life. Human beings every moment enhance their intellect by
learning and teaching; therefore, understanding and utilizing the perfect learning approaches are sine qua non." VARK is a questionnaire that helps
your learning by suggesting the strategies you should be using " (Fleming, 1987). Utilizing this tool can contribute people to identify optimal learning
modes/strategies in order to increase the effectiveness of the study. According to Prithishkumar & Michael (2014) "VARK is a learning style which
classifies students into four different learning modes, each mode based on different preferred senses used in information gathering namely visual (V),
aural (A), read/write (R), and kinesthetic (K)". Different learning modes provide diverse strategies which allow scholars to spend less effort while
achieving more results. After conducting the questionnaire, the results show Visual is 9(45%), Aural is 2(10%), Read/Write is 5(25%), Kinesthetic is

Adolescent Learning Strategies
I believe that every individual responds to learning in different ways and retains, develops and applies knowledge and information using methods
that are specific to them and their abilities. I believe that these strategies evolve from personal development and are preferences that have emerged
from previous success. Although, whilst we might prefer to be taught or to learn in a specific style I do not think students are unreceptive to other
methods and if information can be presented in a variety of forms, is relevant and engaging, any person, of any ability will be able to learn. However,

Guy Claxton alternatively promotes thinking and study skills, and that by promoting the ability to be resourceful, imaginative, self disciplined and
self–aware, collaborative and inquisitive within classrooms, adolescents will be better prepared for their futures and retain the capacity to learn.
Claxton believes that students who are more confident of their own learning ability learn faster and learn better, they concentrate more, think harder
and find learning more enjoyable (Claxton 2010). His theories illustrate that be providing adolescents with the opportunities to experience these
qualities at school and use them as strategies to learn they can be encouraged to develop and succeed. For example, by using a range of assessment for
learning tasks, pupils can be taught to be self reflective, to accept constructive criticism and understand how to set themselves goals to further their
achievements. By encouraging students to take risks and experiment and to accept and learn from their failures adolescents can be taught to embrace
uncertainty. Therefore by installing, developing and consistently drawing on these thinking skills adolescents can be encouraged to use them as

Why Strategies For Learning Success
Introduction
As the author of this paper I, Ashiane Odoms, I would like to present my opinion on why Strategies for Learning Success (SLS) introduction to
college is important in postsecondary education. SLS will teach you to become more familiar with the concept of college and how to adapt to the
adult setting. SLS shows you academic strategies such as making use of your time, taking notes, set attainable goals, and etc. SLS also help you learn
about yourself by helping you discover your learning styles, self–concept, and values. SLS will show you tips how to become a successful student,
inside and outside of the classroom.
At Brevard Community College in Cocoa, FL from 2004 to 2007 there was a survey on First–Time in college fall term college–prep and college
students. It was based on the retention rate of students who passed SLS with a "D" or higher compared to the students who didn't take SLS. The
results were 5.7 percent more of the students who took SLS in FTIC college–prep graduated by spring 2009 than students who didn't take the course

In my grade3 class, I use the Pair–Share and the Close Reading strategies, I read about these strategies before, and now I am applying them in my
class. The Pair–Share Strategy is one of the ways that let students talk about an issue or topic in class is to use the "think/write pair–share" method.
(Lyman, 1992). In this strategy, I present a problem in the class and then give students 30 seconds to one minute to think about or write out their
response. Then, the students pair up and explain their responses to one another for 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, the results are discussed, this technique
takes only about 4 to 6 minutes of class time, and it could be done once in each class session. This strategy has worked successfully in my English
class, where I introduced a topic about "Community Service" I asked my students to think about the role of community service work then I asked
them individually about their decision and choices about doing a community service work. The class was asked to do community service work
and students who changed their ideas and thoughts about it are asked why they did so. The Close Reading Strategy improves reading
comprehension and provides engagement in the subject (Bass & Linkon, 2009). In class, I model how to read and interpret a passage while the
students follow in their books. After that, some students may be called individually to read aloud and interpret similar selections. After reading
passages of a story, students will be divided into groups of three or two and be asked to talk about and decide what the selection means, and then
paraphrasing it in their own words. I will ask the groups to give their interpretations and analysis before providing my analysis. This technique worked
well with grade 3 students, where they had to do this strategy every time we start a new reading

Learning Strategies for Students
A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning and using information. Students use learning strategies to help them understand information and
solve problems. Students who do not know or use good learning strategies will ultimately fail in school. Learning approach focuses on making student
learners more active, by teaching them how to learn and be successful.
My successes for teaching the Acquisition to Generalization Framework lesson to my student were that I was able to get my student Rickey to buy
into the strategy, of using the graphic organizer such as the KWL chart. Once I began to rationalize with Rickey, to see the value oflearning this
approach, he was more eager to learn how this approach could help him to become an effective learner. I was also able to provide Rickey with
feedback in a timely manner, and share with him the progress he made while learning the strategy.
The improvements that I could have made while teaching the Acquisition to Generalization Framework; was I needed to explain each of the steps to
Rickey more thoroughly so that he could have a better understanding of the approach. While I think, he understood most of the steps, and the reason
as to why the strategy is needed. Rickey will still be able to meet his goals of retelling a story in a correct sequence beginning, middle and end with

Teachers are always creating new ways on how to engage and motivate students to do their work. As an educator, I have to be constantly changing my
teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of the students and establish a learning environment suitable for learning. In order for teachers to become
leaders, they have to keep educating themselves professionally and implement new teaching methods to enhance the learning of the students. In
addition, effective teachers have to implement activities that are meaningful to the students and if the activities do not meet the need of the students,
then they need to be adjusted to improve the performance of the students. As an educator, I am guilty sometimes of not adjusting activities to meet the
need of the students in the classroom because I run out of time doing other school duties. In this essay, I will emphasize my plan for continual

During my PGCE placements I felt I have used a wide variety of assessment, teaching and learning strategies. I feel that this is absolutely necessary in
terms of providing the best possible service to the pupils. To be repetitive, predictable and non–contemporary with such strategies is to compromise the
effectiveness of your teaching and limit the chance of achieving your Learning Objectives.

Of course, it was crucial for me to retain overall control and direction of any tasks or challenges and to maintain an awareness of the progression of
both individual pupils and the overall progress of the group. Therefore, once a task was underway, I felt it was important that my role became more of
a facilitator and coach.
As keen as I was to encourage students in the individuality of their development, I was always aware that I couldn't simply leave the students to their
own devices.
I found that much pedagogy was involved with correcting, altering, refocusing and generally encouraging students to make progression whilst
reminding them of their overall focus. It was crucial, however, for their own development that they took responsibility for as much as possible at this
stage.
Perhaps the most crucial aspect of my teaching and learning strategies during my PGCE were the ones I utilised at the end of each piece of work.
Prior to my commencement, I had felt that the success of the pupils' learning would be reliant solely on the depth and quality of information I supplied
them with.
Experience has suggested otherwise however. In retrospect, the really important work was always done during, and particularly, at the end of a module

Example Of Reflective Learning Strategies
Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on an action so as to engage in a process of continuous learning. According to one definition it involves
"paying critical attention to the practical values and theories which inform everyday actions, by examining practice reflectively and reflexively. This
leads to developmental insight". A key rationale for reflective practice is that experience alone does not necessarily lead tolearning; deliberate reflection
on experience is essential. Students sometimes view reflective writing as an annoying interruption in the serious business of developing content
knowledge in their subject area.

A reflective learner requires time to think through ideas and its ramifications, while an active learner prefers to jump in and test theories immediately.
Reflective learners often enjoy working independently, at least before doing a group activity. Note that reflective learners are not passive learners in the
sense that they only want to receive information. On the contrary, they wish to cognitively process and reason with educator input so that it conforms
to their particular intellectual framework. Experiential learning strategy is learning through reflection on doing, which is often contrasted with rote or
didactic learning. Experiential learning is related to, but not synonymous with, experiential education, action learning, adventure learning, free choice
learning, co–operative learning, and service learning. While there are relationships and connections between all these theories of education, importantly
they are also separate terms with separate meanings. Reflective practice can be an important tool in practice–based professional learning settings where

Cohen (1998) : Learning strategies are learning processes which are consciously selected by the learner. The words "consciously select" are important
because they demonstrate the special character of strategy.
Wenden(1998): Learning strategies are mental steps or operations that learners use to learn a new language and to regulate their efforts to do so.( as
cited in Ellis, 1994, p. 531)
The above definitions show that no researchers define language learning strategies in exactly the same way. All these definitions provide insights into
understanding the process of learning a language. How to define learning strategies is crucial in underpinning the framework of researchers' study.
Definition is fundamental to laying the foundation for the areas of research. However, these definitions of language learning strategies reveals some
problems. "Learning strategies" is such a broad word that it can refer to the general approaches or specific techniques used to learn a language. Maybe
it is the main reason why the definitions are atheoretical. There are other two problems: Are learning strategies to be perceived of as behavioural or
mental? Are learning strategies conscious and intentional or subconscious?

The Organizational Learning Strategy And How It Is...
This paper will summarize the organizational learning strategy and how it is significant as well as essential, specifically in the course of the
progression periods of a company, or once new technology or new techniques within an industry are implemented. As a result, organizational learning
has established itself to be one of the most efficient ways for an entire company, a division or a team to accept a wide range of new polls, tactics and
concepts to allow for growth and improvement (Senge, 1990). Thus, when comparing to traditional learning techniques, or classrooms, individual
learning schedules and other techniques are employed, organizational learning has proven itself to be far more efficient and effective overall, while
costing less time and money among other resources.
Nonetheless, Senge (1990) states that when working out an organizational learning strategy, there's one objective above all that must be considered.
Setting clear and concise goals, as by means of all impartialities, is utmost significance. Upon conducting a training needs assessment, or planning out
how organizational learning will be disseminated, and eventually figuring out what the final result in goal should be, clear and present goals for each
and every step, as well as an ultimate goal, are important to management along with organizational strategy.

Teaching Learning Styles And Strategies Essay
ABSTRACT: The objective of an English teacher is to make the learners learn English successfully and to enhance their communicative competence as
this is the need of the hour. In the present scenario the learners themselves are coming forward to learn English and they are actively participating in the
classroom activities. With little guidance of the teacher they attempt to become the efficient scholars of English. So there is a complete shift from
teacher oriented approach to a learner centered approach. The learners tend to participate actively when the class is interesting. To make the class more
interesting the teacher selects the topics that interest them. Gradually this approach changed to an interest oriented learner centered approach. In this
process of learning the language learners adopt their own methods and strategies depending on their styles of learning. They select the more appropriate
strategies to fit their learning styles. This paper focuses on the role of learning styles and strategies in a language classroom.
It is the responsibility of the teacher to be aware of the learning styles of the learners so as to make the learning teaching process an effective one.
Moreover the learning style of one learner is different from another learner. So the strategies they employ in learning a language also differ. For
example some of the learners prefer listening to lectures on language to writing or reading the language. Some learners may be comfortable to read

Strategies For Lifelong Additional Language Learning Essay
Strategies for lifelong additional language learning
The ability to evaluate whether something is worth learning is considered a meta–skill (Siemens et al. 2005). This reference to meta–skill is remiscient
of the metacognitive processes involved in learning. Thinking about the learning process is an important aspect as it allows learners to reflect on
strengths, areas of improvement and make adjustments to learning plans (Starkey, 2012). Considering the large breadth of material (vocabulary,
grammar, social and cultural contexts) in learning an additional language, planning an additional language learning path is crucial to an additional
language learners success (Anderson, 2002). A lifelong commitment to learning a new language does not come without the potential benefits of the
strategic planning, monitoring and thinking about learning processes. Metacognitive training is associated with promoting learner autonomy and
allowing students greater control over managing their studies (Kangli, 2002). Sucesss and high proficiency in learning an additional language is
contingent on the learner's ability to prioritize, organize and evaluate strategies related to comprehension (Gu, 2008; Oxford, 2001; Anderson, 2002).

Guided Notes A Learning Strategy
Guided Notes: A Learning Strategy
Research shows that a number of students with disabilities have poor academic performance, especially in middle and high school (Larwin, Dawson,

These students are at a disadvantage due to poor note taking (Boyle, 2001Нѕ Haydon, Mancil,
Kroeger, McLeskey, & Lin, 2011). This may be due to an inability to determine which information is pertinent or focus on lectures, or difficulty with
fine motor skills. The need to write, listen, or a combination of both, makes traditional note taking especially difficult for students with disabilities, and

Still, researchers (Bahadourian, Tam, Greer, & Rousseau, 2006Нѕ Boon, Burke, Fore, &
Spencer, 2006) question whether guided notes assist in developing critical thinking skills. In
GUIDED NOTES: ALEARNING STRATEGY 6 theory, guided notes should provide a scaffold for more effective and independent traditional note
taking (Neef et al., 2006). This can only be done after students are trained to complete and use guided notes correctly and effectively. Finally, Austin,
Lee, and Carr (2004) discuss whether students who have been trained to use guided notes will be able to generalize the information learned to
additional settings (other classes, lessons) and whether that information will be maintained long term.

Guided notes are a useful tool for increasing academic performance of students with disabilities across many subject areas and grade levels. The
numerous ways to personalize and modify this learning strategy adds to its practicality. Research in support of its efficacy has helped to increase its

The School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI) is a self–report tool designed to determine student performance across a
comprehensive set of behaviors representing learning strategies, academic motivation, and test–taking. This inventory is unique in that it is designed
especially for use with school–aged youth. There are two forms: a Child Form for students aged 8–12 years, and a Teen Form for students aged 13–18
years. Both forms consist of over 100 items written at a third grade reading level, which should take from 20–30 minutes to complete. The SMALSI
can be administered individually or to a group; the form also can be read to students who have difficulty reading. The SMALSI is intended for use in
both general and special education for the purposes of: (a) screening to facilitate identification of topics for group instruction; (b) prereferral
intervention, which may ameliorate learning difficulties and avert the need for special education; (c) special education assessment, which is linked
directly to intervention in areas that may exacerbate academic difficulties; and (d) research related to understanding the nature of these skills and to the
development of effective interventions for learning strategies, test taking, and academic motivation.

Learning And Study Strategies Inventory ( Lassi ) Test
The LASSI is a crucial component in its prime for the developing student who strives to be the best they can be in many aspects of academic work
ethic. The LASSI as a whole notes these aspects and evaluates a student based on their thoughts and actions towards said aspect(s). This diagnostic is
supposed to structure students to perform at their best ability and manipulate their habits to ultimately work for them and their peers. Not only does the
Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) Test help students in their use of learning and study strategies, but it also provides awareness for
these skills as well. When you break this test down it hones in on ten scales, each with their own unique way of describing a student on their beliefs,
attitudes, and skills. This test primarily focuses on the component of strategic learning by skill, will, and self–regulation. Each part relates back to the
ten scales in which they are categorized under. Many tests evaluate students based on pure skill when this one differentiates from the others based on
its counseling ability. The LASSI is a tool that can be used as a form of counseling in college orientation programs, learning assistance programs,
learning centers, etc. The LASSI is also extremely reliant considering the answers are self–generated and at your disposal immediately. Other tests have
to be graded at a set pace that may jeopardize a student's way of evaluating and assessing their scores to benefit them. Claire Ellen

Diverse Learning Strategies
In my classroom I plan on meeting the needs of all learners, however, some strategies are more effective for certain learners than others. In order to
reach my students who are culturally and linguistically diverse I will use a variety of strategies. One strategy that I will use is to use multiple
modalities. When you use multiple modalities you are displaying the information visually, through auditory, or by allowing the use of movement
through kinesthetic or tactile learning. The use of this strategy will help culturally and linguistically diverse learners because they can choose which
format works best for them and will be able to learn the information in a way that they understand and that makes sense to them. Another way to meet

| Selecting Main Ideas (SMI) Percentile Score: 5 | The Selecting Main Ideas Scale assesses students' skill at identifying important information for
further study from among less important information and supporting details (sample item: When studying, I seem to get lost in the details and miss
the important information). Students who score low on this scale may need to develop their skill at separating out critical information on which to
focus their attention. Tasks such as reading a textbook can be overwhelming if students focus on every detail presented. | Study Aids (STA)
Percentile Score: 1 | The Study Aids Scale assesses students' use of supports or resources to help them learn or retain information (sample item: I use
special study helps, such as italics and headings, that are in my textbooks). Students with low scores may need to develop a better understanding of
the resources available to them and how to use these resources to help them be more effective and efficient learners. | Time Management (TMT)
Percentile Score: 20 | The Time Management Scale assesses students' application of time management principles to academic situations (sample item: I
set aside more time to study the subjects that are difficult for me). Students who score low on this scale may need to develop effective scheduling and

Learning Strategies
The learning strategy developed and taught to a class of students with learning disabilities was how to ask for help. The acquisition of students
learning to ask for help is important to obtain current knowledge of this strategy through a pretest. The pretest in this case includes questions.
Examples of the questions being asked to the students with learning disabilities are; How many students ask for help when they need it? Yes or
No?,How many know what asking for help means? Yes or No?,Are you comfortable asking for help? Yes or No?. By answering these questions it
allows me as the teacher to get an understanding of if the students fully understand what asking for help is and if there are reasons they are not taking
advantage of this.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
An example would be raising their hand or quietly walking over to their teachers desk when it is an appropriate time. Creating cue cards to be
displayed on their desks is a very effective process. This helps remind students how to ask and that it is ok. While the teacher is presenting a lecture
if a student is struggling have them jot down on a piece of paper what they need help with so when the teacher is done speaking they will remember
what to ask. As always it is very effective for students with disabilities to have visual reminders in their settings. Once an explanation has been given
out to the students it is essential that a modeling strategy takes place by me the teacher demonstrating how to ask questions as a student. During this
time I will fully explain what I am doing and why this is effective. Once my demonstration as a student is complete I will then ask the children to join
in my pretending to lecture and have the students all take part in raising their hands to ask for help. Demonstration is very important for students with
disabilities and has been proven to be a very effective way for them to learn. Next me as the teacher should help in assisting the students by rehearsing
the strategy steps and going over in full expansion of what every step means. Making sure the students have an understanding of what is being taught
helps with rehearsal. Students learn through visuals and repetition. Rehearsing helps put this strategy in the student's mind and

Adult Learning Strategies
Adult learning can be difficult to address for faculty in nursing education. It has become increasingly important to develop greater clinical thinking and
reasoning skills in nursing students. However, students are stretched thin with busy lifestyles and often do not learn effectively from traditional
teaching techniques. Nursing educator faculty must be knowledgeable in the latest research on adult learning and effective teaching strategies to engage
learners and provide an active learning environment. Strategies that can be utilized are case studies, concept mapping, journaling, utilizing a flipped
classroom for self–directed learning, and clinical simulation. Exploring these different learning strategies and comparing the advantages ... Show more

Harrison and Gibbons (2013) interviewed students to gain their perspective on the effectiveness of concept mapping in nursing education and the results
were positive for "motivated, open–minded students," (p. 395) . Issues arose in students that perceived concept mapping as difficult and enforced,
often feeling as if instructors were "telling us we were going to learn another language" (Harrison & Gibbons, 2013, p. 397). Students would find
themselves discouraged and not as open to using concept mapping as a positive and valuable learning tool. Harrison and Gibbons suggest instructors

Active Learning Strategies
What effect do active learning strategies have on a middle childhood learner? Each child in different stages has different behaviors and interest. Based
on my observation of children in the middle childhood stage, I have seen them think more differently and logically than early childhood stage. In this
stage they like to choose what they want. According to Piaget, at this stage a child develop logical thinking, hypothesizing abilities, possibilities to
grow in understanding and knowledge, develop critical thinking and analytical skills and choose what is appropriate for them. Therefore, in the

Translating the overall strategy into action
An overall LTD strategy may be valid over a long timeframe, though it may need to be revisited regularly as circumstances change. It is an overall
statement of intent and needs to be given more detail to give guidance on how it will be implemented and who will translate this intent into practice
The sections below set out some of the questions that need to be asked and the choices that organisations need to make so that LTD practice achieves
its strategic aims. Organisations may set these policies as a set of organisational rules, or as guidance and communicate them to managers and staff.
Performance management
LTD activities need to be planned for in the same way as other organisational activities, through the performance management process. Responsibilities
will be allocated to line management and HRD specialists, targets set, and individual performance measured against achievement. This applies to the
HRD function and to line managers who achieve business targets by, amongst other things, making sure their teams have the right level of capability.

Discussing the Teaching and Learning Strategies
Teaching and learning strategies used in an actual session and to be delivered during professional practice.
The strategies to be used will depend on several different components, e.g. the ability, knowledge and background of learners, the subject, differing
learning styles etc.
John Dewey (1859–1952) believed that formal schooling was falling short of its potential. He emphasised facilitating learning through promoting
various activities rather than by using a traditional teacher–focused method. He believed that children learnt more from guided experience than from
authoritarian instruction. He subscribed to learner–focused philosophy and argued that learning is life, not just preparation for life. This is also
applicable to adult ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As can be seen in my first observed session (Appendix .....) at HOL I chose to use different learning strategies and styles to my peer teach session.
Mainly due to the different audience and time scale too. Baring in mind the feedbacks I have received for the peer teach, I wanted to include some of
the things mentioned and therefore creating a all around better lesson, one in particular including students through more nominated questions.
Unfortunately I got drawn into the more active students answering questions straight away and demanding my attention. This made it more difficult for
me to include the quieter students. I believe towards the end of the lesson my efforts started to work and the quieter students started to join in too. Due
to this experience I was very surprised on the student feedback I have received. (Appendix.....) All students commented on the involvement they
experienced. 'Getting up and doing was the best'. This was a very valuable experience and will assist for my future studies and teaching.
Prior to the delivering of the session 'Planning and Negotiating' learning is key. 'If you don't know where you are going it is difficult to select a
suitable means for getting there'. Mager (1984)

Instructional Strategies Of Learning Math Class
I have spent twenty hours throughout this semester observing a first grade classroom at P.S 152; Gwendolyn Alleyne Elementary School located in
Woodside, NY. On October 23rd, Friday, I had the opportunity observing a math class. The teacher allowed me to observe her math Class, which meets
Monday through Friday from 12:45 pm–2:15 pm. I did not have any prior direct experience in the math classroom, so this was relatively a new learning

levels like scholastic and science magazines, fiction, non–fiction, kids discover, national geographic world and so on. Throughout the class, there were
some hanging instructions on how to take good notes, how to be a good listener, and how to nurture positive behavior. There was a shelf containing
different categories of manipulatives that include – multi–colored counters, pattern blocks, dollars and coins, time chart, measuring cups and spoons,
measure scale, everyday math decks, 3–D shapes, flats, longs, cubes, and dolls. Each student had their own kit to help them better understand and

The Importance Of Learning Strategies For Students
(REQUIRED) 1a) Identify one instructional strategy or student activity from the outline of plans that could be challenging for the student, considering
the description of the student's learning disability.
According to the description, the student Alex does not join into whole–class conversations or contribute to group learning situations. Participation in
class and group discussion would be definitely a challenging activity for him.
(REQUIRED) 1b) Explain why the strategy or activity you chose could be challenging for the student, based on specific aspects of the student
description.
Participation in class and group discussion is an essential activity to accomplish the learning goals of the unit and it's done more than one time along
the three instructional days. Based on specific aspects of the student description of a self–isolating person who does not readily join into whole–class
conversations or contribute to group learning situations, this activity would be challenging for him.
(REQUIRED) 1c) Describe how you would adapt the strategy or activity you identified to meet the needs of the student.
The first adaption I would make to the activity of participation in group or class discussion is, to place Alex in a group with high level students.
Second, I will promote small groups, instead of big groups or class discussion. Students with special learning disability may gain confidence and

Teaching / Learning Strategies For Learning
When knowing different strategies for learning, the student feels confident to explore, and mistakes most likely are to be minimized and engagement
increased. Lessons and activities that enhance and support learning are teaching /learning strategies that when cooperatively done contributes to a
lifelong learning/knowledge. Students ' skills activities allow me to provide feedback that can be shared and/or discussed by the whole class increasing
learning. Opportunities lead to sharing that leads to learning. By literally teaching the vocabulary/material learned in the classroom I increased my
ELLs understanding on the subject being taught and gave to all my students the opportunity to grow into the new material.
Group activities help with gathering the knowledge to learn the content given. These strategies help students to be more explicit as well as instigate
participation. The students were using the knowledge acquired in the classroom in order to perform the football skills. Hands on activities (very
helpful when teaching ELLs and LEPs) is a fundamental tool, especially in Physical Education classes, to promote and enhance students learning. It
also engages ELL and LEP students into the activity easily because it is a very visual activity that clarifies, engages, and promotes learning.

Learning Target Strategy
We decided to implement the strategy of Learning Targets in math in hopes of the students improving their goal setting and ownership of learning. We
wanted to understand the significance of goal setting and purposeful teaching of learning targets. Furthermore, by taking ownership over their own
learning, students will be prepared to successfully communicate during the student lead conference.
We acquired this idea of learning from our desire to improve our daily instruction and mastery of math standards.
Our Learning Target strategy included the study of math concepts. We utilized the Learning Target strategy five days a week for 45 minutes. Weekly,
we conferenced with each individual student after whole–group instruction. Each week, the classroom teachers selected the targeted goal for the
students for the week. Both classrooms planned a six–week schedule of targeted goals.
We collected qualitative data from parent surveys, teacher interviews, random student interviews, and teacher journal observations. We designed and

myself on the material. When exams approach, I reread the materials from the slides and lectures and use the online flashcards I created to study for
3–7 days depending on the subject. I would change my learning plan by focusing less on the highlighting and rereading and more on the quizzing
myself. I would also space out the quizzing more to allow for more difficult memory retrieval– thereby, engraining the material further into my long

Once we begin to learn about other topics such as infection I will interweave those topics into the already established notecards and be able to

an answer to the question I am being asked and check it rather that assuming I know the answer and moving on. I will also incorporate mnemonics into
my
studying to help early draw the corresponding information from the depths of long term memory. I plan to implement a more structured study time to
help my learning plan succeed. I will have to plan out my free hours of the day to allow for studying for all my classes. I will also have to block out
and structure study hours on the weekends to re–quiz the material for that week and for previous weeks and use that time to make the consolidated
summary sheets. Some hinderances I might encounter are finding the time to implement this type of learning plan for all my classes. Also I will

Cooperative Learning : A Successful Instructional Strategy
Introduction
There are multiple strategies and theories in the education world that allow for student success and growth. One strategy that some teachers use to
promote effective classroom management is a strategy called cooperative learning. Cooperative learning is a successful instructional strategy that
allows student learning and positive social–behavior skills to foster based on small group work where each group member's success is dependent on
one another. Cooperative learning is an efficient strategy to include diverse learners and students who may have struggles in behavior management to
build upon their skills by working with their peers.

In a cooperative learning classroom setting the teacher becomes the resource or tutor for the students, but they do not provide all of the course content.
Students find the content themselves through research, teamwork, and critical thinking. Instructors willing to implement the cooperative learning
approach in their classrooms must be willing to take risks, see learning from different perspectives, and engage in the critical thinking of their students
(Vermette & Foote, 2001).
Benefits of Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning is more than just letting students sit next to each other and complete an assignment together. If
implemented the wrong way cooperative learning can become ineffective for the students, therefor stunting their ability to grow as learners. A
cooperative learning environment will exist if groups are structured in a way that group member's co–ordinate activities to facilitate one another's
learning (Van Dat, 2013). In order to achieve this kind of environment there are five elements that must be present in a cooperative learning classroom:
positive interdependence, face–to–face interaction, individual accountability, interpersonal & social skills, and group processing. Let's look further
into these give elements to have a better understanding of cooperative learning. In order for cooperative learning to be successful students need to be

Assessment For Learning Strategies

  • 1. Assessment For Learning Strategies There are a range of assessment for learning strategies that can be used to help students develop language, literacy and numeracy. These strategies can be integrated in classes where students demonstrate a diverse range in language, literacy and numeracy skills (LLN). William (2009) outlined 5 assessment for learning strategies that can be used to assist teachers in creating assessments that are not only summative but as ongoing formative activates that students can benefit from. In this essay we will explore 4 of the strategies from the original 5 mentioned by William (2009) and discuss how they can be integrated in the classroom and how feedback can be provided to both students and their parents. The 4 strategies include clarifying learning ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In this process teachers can sometimes forget that students are capable of self regulation. This can happen through self assessment that teachers integrate into the classroom. By introducing opportunities for students to reflect on their learning with aids such as logs, graphs, checklists and scaffolded reflection worksheets they are encouraged to think critically about their own learning. Furthermore they may be asked what they believed they did well during the assessment and what aspects they could improve on. A part of this self–assessment process may include the use of goal setting. Fushs and Fushs (1986) found in their meta–analysis that both short term goals and long term goals used as a part of systematic formative evaluation can improve academic performance. They also found that goal setting had a profound effect even on students undertaking special education which would include students with a non–English speaking background. These finding would suggest that students with high LLN needs can also benefit from the use of goals as a part of self ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Teaching Strategies For Learning Style Preferences It is in this article that Beck matches three teaching strategies to learning style preferences. During which he attempts to link the 4MAT system, Dunn's LSI, and the Renzulli & Smith's LSI to teaching strategies associated to display individual learning preferences linked to the brain's hemispheres. The 4MAT system and Dunn's LSI is teacher driven teaching strategies while the Renzulli & Smith's LSI allows student input into their teaching strategies. In linking the 4MAT system to teaching strategies, Beck further explores why certain teaching strategies are more successful and hemispheric appropriate when adapted to their individual natural tendencies. Student learning tendencies are associated with left– mode, right– mode, or multi– mode tendencies. Dunn 's LSI includes a wide range of motivations that teachers should consider when determining individual learning styles that may include psychological and cognitive variables. However, Renzulli & Smith's LSI permits student to provide their input to list their favorite to least favorite activities. All three LSI have significance, but it is ultimately the teacher's role to provide opportunities for each student to unharness their potential. The focus of this article was to perform research on the Preferred Teaching Approach Inventory (PTAI) including psychometric properties.

  • 3. The Learning And Teaching Strategies Many great learning and teaching strategies are presented in the text, How we learn... of which a few learning tactics, namely discrimination, perceptual learning, chunking and interleaving will be briefly discussed as to how they have relevance in my context. To begin we will examine discrimination, the brain's ability to "detect minute differences in sights, sounds and textures. [Such is considered]...one of the first steps we take in making sense of the world" (Carey, 2012, p.180). This learning technique occurs often during HT training as students detect differences in breathing patterns of those being treated, l see slight tremors or body twitches that accompanies release of stagnate energy and perceived smoothness of textures in the human energy field (Mentgen & Bulbrook, 2011). Next, perceptual learning occurs as the brain takes notice of subtle differences in techniques, such as hand positions that seem the same but may not have the same therapeutic effect. Another learning strategy that can be useful in HT training is chunking which is the simple act of grouping bits and pieces of information together to make a whole (or at minimal a segment) of a concept. For example words stringed together create sentences and sentences which are connected formulate paragraph. In the case of HT chunking is necessary as a series of hand movements and/or places equate to a specific healing technique.

  • 5. Identifying Optimal Learning Modes / Strategies No one can deny the fact that a person's education is the most significant aspect of his/her life. Human beings every moment enhance their intellect by learning and teaching; therefore, understanding and utilizing the perfect learning approaches are sine qua non." VARK is a questionnaire that helps your learning by suggesting the strategies you should be using " (Fleming, 1987). Utilizing this tool can contribute people to identify optimal learning modes/strategies in order to increase the effectiveness of the study. According to Prithishkumar & Michael (2014) "VARK is a learning style which classifies students into four different learning modes, each mode based on different preferred senses used in information gathering namely visual (V), aural (A), read/write (R), and kinesthetic (K)". Different learning modes provide diverse strategies which allow scholars to spend less effort while achieving more results. After conducting the questionnaire, the results show Visual is 9(45%), Aural is 2(10%), Read/Write is 5(25%), Kinesthetic is 4(20%). Overall, strong visual learning preference is chief recommended, read/write learning is secondary and the third one is Kinesthetic. Visual learning style focuses on visual sensory learning by reviewing or drawing illustrations, maps, graphs, charts, diagrams, figures and plans to approach the learning outline (VARK, 2016).

Adolescent Learning Strategies I believe that every individual responds to learning in different ways and retains, develops and applies knowledge and information using methods that are specific to them and their abilities. I believe that these strategies evolve from personal development and are preferences that have emerged from previous success. Although, whilst we might prefer to be taught or to learn in a specific style I do not think students are unreceptive to other methods and if information can be presented in a variety of forms, is relevant and engaging, any person, of any ability will be able to learn. However, this idea has been debated on numerous occasions, and psychologists and professionals continually disagree over the relevance and need to identify and ...

Guy Claxton alternatively promotes thinking and study skills, and that by promoting the ability to be resourceful, imaginative, self disciplined and self–aware, collaborative and inquisitive within classrooms, adolescents will be better prepared for their futures and retain the capacity to learn. Claxton believes that students who are more confident of their own learning ability learn faster and learn better, they concentrate more, think harder and find learning more enjoyable (Claxton 2010). His theories illustrate that be providing adolescents with the opportunities to experience these qualities at school and use them as strategies to learn they can be encouraged to develop and succeed. For example, by using a range of assessment for learning tasks, pupils can be taught to be self reflective, to accept constructive criticism and understand how to set themselves goals to further their achievements. By encouraging students to take risks and experiment and to accept and learn from their failures adolescents can be taught to embrace uncertainty. Therefore by installing, developing and consistently drawing on these thinking skills adolescents can be encouraged to use them as strategies to learn, to reflect on what they've they done so they can improve, to be receptive to advice and to have the ...

In my grade3 class, I use the Pair–Share and the Close Reading strategies, I read about these strategies before, and now I am applying them in my class. The Pair–Share Strategy is one of the ways that let students talk about an issue or topic in class is to use the "think/write pair–share" method. (Lyman, 1992). In this strategy, I present a problem in the class and then give students 30 seconds to one minute to think about or write out their response. Then, the students pair up and explain their responses to one another for 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, the results are discussed, this technique takes only about 4 to 6 minutes of class time, and it could be done once in each class session. This strategy has worked successfully in my English class, where I introduced a topic about "Community Service" I asked my students to think about the role of community service work then I asked them individually about their decision and choices about doing a community service work. The class was asked to do community service work and students who changed their ideas and thoughts about it are asked why they did so. The Close Reading Strategy improves reading comprehension and provides engagement in the subject (Bass & Linkon, 2009). In class, I model how to read and interpret a passage while the students follow in their books. After that, some students may be called individually to read aloud and interpret similar selections. After reading passages of a story, students will be divided into groups of three or two and be asked to talk about and decide what the selection means, and then paraphrasing it in their own words. I will ask the groups to give their interpretations and analysis before providing my analysis. This technique worked well with grade 3 students, where they had to do this strategy every time we start a new reading ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Learning Strategies for Students A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning and using information. Students use learning strategies to help them understand information and solve problems. Students who do not know or use good learning strategies will ultimately fail in school. Learning approach focuses on making student learners more active, by teaching them how to learn and be successful. My successes for teaching the Acquisition to Generalization Framework lesson to my student were that I was able to get my student Rickey to buy into the strategy, of using the graphic organizer such as the KWL chart. Once I began to rationalize with Rickey, to see the value oflearning this approach, he was more eager to learn how this approach could help him to become an effective learner. I was also able to provide Rickey with feedback in a timely manner, and share with him the progress he made while learning the strategy. The improvements that I could have made while teaching the Acquisition to Generalization Framework; was I needed to explain each of the steps to Rickey more thoroughly so that he could have a better understanding of the approach. While I think, he understood most of the steps, and the reason as to why the strategy is needed. Rickey will still be able to meet his goals of retelling a story in a correct sequence beginning, middle and end with 100% accuracy on 8 out of 10 trials; and to apply knowledge of word structure, and context clues to determine the meanings of unfamiliar words at 80% ...

As an educator, I have to be constantly changing my teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of the students and establish a learning environment suitable for learning. In order for teachers to become leaders, they have to keep educating themselves professionally and implement new teaching methods to enhance the learning of the students. In addition, effective teachers have to implement activities that are meaningful to the students and if the activities do not meet the need of the students, then they need to be adjusted to improve the performance of the students.

I feel that this is absolutely necessary in terms of providing the best possible service to the pupils. To be repetitive, predictable and non–contemporary with such strategies is to compromise the effectiveness of your teaching and limit the chance of achieving your Learning Objectives.

Of course, it was crucial for me to retain overall control and direction of any tasks or challenges and to maintain an awareness of the progression of both individual pupils and the overall progress of the group. Therefore, once a task was underway, I felt it was important that my role became more of a facilitator and coach. As keen as I was to encourage students in the individuality of their development, I was always aware that I couldn't simply leave the students to their own devices. I found that much pedagogy was involved with correcting, altering, refocusing and generally encouraging students to make progression whilst reminding them of their overall focus. It was crucial, however, for their own development that they took responsibility for as much as possible at this stage. Perhaps the most crucial aspect of my teaching and learning strategies during my PGCE were the ones I utilised at the end of each piece of work. Prior to my commencement, I had felt that the success of the pupils' learning would be reliant solely on the depth and quality of information I supplied them with. Experience has suggested otherwise however. In retrospect, the really important work was always done during, and particularly, at the end of a module (or section of a module).

According to one definition it involves "paying critical attention to the practical values and theories which inform everyday actions, by examining practice reflectively and reflexively. This leads to developmental insight". A key rationale for reflective practice is that experience alone does not necessarily lead tolearning; deliberate reflection on experience is essential.

A reflective learner requires time to think through ideas and its ramifications, while an active learner prefers to jump in and test theories immediately. Reflective learners often enjoy working independently, at least before doing a group activity. Note that reflective learners are not passive learners in the sense that they only want to receive information. On the contrary, they wish to cognitively process and reason with educator input so that it conforms to their particular intellectual framework. Experiential learning strategy is learning through reflection on doing, which is often contrasted with rote or didactic learning. Experiential learning is related to, but not synonymous with, experiential education, action learning, adventure learning, free choice learning, co–operative learning, and service learning. While there are relationships and connections between all these theories of education, importantly they are also separate terms with separate meanings.

The words "consciously select" are important because they demonstrate the special character of strategy. Wenden(1998): Learning strategies are mental steps or operations that learners use to learn a new language and to regulate their efforts to do so.( as cited in Ellis, 1994, p. 531) The above definitions show that no researchers define language learning strategies in exactly the same way. All these definitions provide insights into understanding the process of learning a language. How to define learning strategies is crucial in underpinning the framework of researchers' study. Definition is fundamental to laying the foundation for the areas of research. However, these definitions of language learning strategies reveals some problems. "Learning strategies" is such a broad word that it can refer to the general approaches or specific techniques used to learn a language.

This paper will summarize the organizational learning strategy and how it is significant as well as essential, specifically in the course of the progression periods of a company, or once new technology or new techniques within an industry are implemented. As a result, organizational learning has established itself to be one of the most efficient ways for an entire company, a division or a team to accept a wide range of new polls, tactics and concepts to allow for growth and improvement (Senge, 1990). Thus, when comparing to traditional learning techniques, or classrooms, individual learning schedules and other techniques are employed, organizational learning has proven itself to be far more efficient and effective overall, while costing less time and money among other resources. Nonetheless, Senge (1990) states that when working out an organizational learning strategy, there's one objective above all that must be considered. Setting clear and concise goals, as by means of all impartialities, is utmost significance. Upon conducting a training needs assessment, or planning out how organizational learning will be disseminated, and eventually figuring out what the final result in goal should be, clear and present goals for each and every step, as well as an ultimate goal, are important to management along with organizational strategy.

  • 20. Ap English Language Learning Strategy What strategies do I currently use in my classroom that are effective for vocabulary instruction? The virtual lessons in each of my classes contain written text. All domain–specific (Tier 3) vocabulary words are used in the lesson's text. Most are also explained in the lesson. There is no "typical" assignment. Students will see a mix of short answer questions and research questions that require longer responses. Some questions ask students to explain domain – specific (Tier 3) vocabulary words. Students must answer each question in their own words. After a student submits their work I review their work and write an individual reply to that student. Students have up to three opportunities to revise their work and demonstrate mastery. Why does this strategy work well? Including new vocabulary terms in the context of the lesson's text give students an opportunity to figure out the meaning of words using context clues.

Most the assignment at my school contain one or more short answer questions.

  • 21. Teaching Learning Styles And Strategies Essay ABSTRACT: The objective of an English teacher is to make the learners learn English successfully and to enhance their communicative competence as this is the need of the hour. In the present scenario the learners themselves are coming forward to learn English and they are actively participating in the classroom activities. With little guidance of the teacher they attempt to become the efficient scholars of English. So there is a complete shift from teacher oriented approach to a learner centered approach. The learners tend to participate actively when the class is interesting. To make the class more interesting the teacher selects the topics that interest them. Gradually this approach changed to an interest oriented learner centered approach. In this process of learning the language learners adopt their own methods and strategies depending on their styles of learning. They select the more appropriate strategies to fit their learning styles. This paper focuses on the role of learning styles and strategies in a language classroom. It is the responsibility of the teacher to be aware of the learning styles of the learners so as to make the learning teaching process an effective one. Moreover the learning style of one learner is different from another learner. So the strategies they employ in learning a language also differ. For example some of the learners prefer listening to lectures on language to writing or reading the language. Some learners may be comfortable to read rather ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 22. Strategies For Lifelong Additional Language Learning Essay Strategies for lifelong additional language learning The ability to evaluate whether something is worth learning is considered a meta–skill (Siemens et al. 2005). This reference to meta–skill is remiscient of the metacognitive processes involved in learning. Thinking about the learning process is an important aspect as it allows learners to reflect on strengths, areas of improvement and make adjustments to learning plans (Starkey, 2012). Considering the large breadth of material (vocabulary, grammar, social and cultural contexts) in learning an additional language, planning an additional language learning path is crucial to an additional language learners success (Anderson, 2002). A lifelong commitment to learning a new language does not come without the potential benefits of the strategic planning, monitoring and thinking about learning processes. Metacognitive training is associated with promoting learner autonomy and allowing students greater control over managing their studies (Kangli, 2002). Sucesss and high proficiency in learning an additional language is contingent on the learner's ability to prioritize, organize and evaluate strategies related to comprehension (Gu, 2008; Oxford, 2001; Anderson, 2002). Brown (2013) clearly defines metacognitive activity in additional language learning as three distinct stages––planning for additional language learning, reflecting on the processes as they are taking place as well as monitoring the production and/or comprehension of ...

  • 23. Guided Notes A Learning Strategy Guided Notes: A Learning Strategy Research shows that a number of students with disabilities have poor academic performance, especially in middle and high school (Larwin, Dawson, Erickson, & Larwin, 2012). These students are at a disadvantage due to poor note taking (Boyle, 2001Нѕ Haydon, Mancil, Kroeger, McLeskey, & Lin, 2011). This may be due to an inability to determine which information is pertinent or focus on lectures, or difficulty with fine motor skills. The need to write, listen, or a combination of both, makes traditional note taking especially difficult for students with disabilities, and also hinders participation in classroom discussions and activities (Austin, Lee, Thibeault, Carr, & Bailey, 2002). Guided notes offer an alternative... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Still, researchers (Bahadourian, Tam, Greer, & Rousseau, 2006Нѕ Boon, Burke, Fore, & Spencer, 2006) question whether guided notes assist in developing critical thinking skills. In GUIDED NOTES: ALEARNING STRATEGY 6 theory, guided notes should provide a scaffold for more effective and independent traditional note taking (Neef et al., 2006). This can only be done after students are trained to complete and use guided notes correctly and effectively. Finally, Austin, Lee, and Carr (2004) discuss whether students who have been trained to use guided notes will be able to generalize the information learned to additional settings (other classes, lessons) and whether that information will be maintained long term. Conclusion Guided notes are a useful tool for increasing academic performance of students with disabilities across many subject areas and grade levels. The numerous ways to personalize and modify this learning strategy adds to its practicality. Research in support of its efficacy has helped to increase its prevalence in classrooms, although further investigation is required to determine how useful it is for promoting critical thinking skills and ...

School Motivation And Learning Strategies Inventory School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory Introduction The School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI) is a self–report tool designed to determine student performance across a comprehensive set of behaviors representing learning strategies, academic motivation, and test–taking. This inventory is unique in that it is designed especially for use with school–aged youth. There are two forms: a Child Form for students aged 8–12 years, and a Teen Form for students aged 13–18 years. Both forms consist of over 100 items written at a third grade reading level, which should take from 20–30 minutes to complete. The SMALSI can be administered individually or to a group; the form also can be read to students who have difficulty reading. The SMALSI is intended for use in both general and special education for the purposes of: (a) screening to facilitate identification of topics for group instruction; (b) prereferral intervention, which may ameliorate learning difficulties and avert the need for special education; (c) special education assessment, which is linked directly to intervention in areas that may exacerbate academic difficulties; and (d) research related to understanding the nature of these skills and to the development of effective interventions for learning strategies, test taking, and academic motivation.

The LASSI as a whole notes these aspects and evaluates a student based on their thoughts and actions towards said aspect(s). This diagnostic is supposed to structure students to perform at their best ability and manipulate their habits to ultimately work for them and their peers. Not only does the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) Test help students in their use of learning and study strategies, but it also provides awareness for these skills as well. When you break this test down it hones in on ten scales, each with their own unique way of describing a student on their beliefs, attitudes, and skills. This test primarily focuses on the component of strategic learning by skill, will, and self–regulation. Each part relates back to the ten scales in which they are categorized under. Many tests evaluate students based on pure skill when this one differentiates from the others based on its counseling ability. The LASSI is a tool that can be used as a form of counseling in college orientation programs, learning assistance programs, learning centers, etc. The LASSI is also extremely reliant considering the answers are self–generated and at your disposal immediately.

In a cooperative learning classroom setting the teacher becomes the resource or tutor for the students, but they do not provide all of the course content. Students find the content themselves through research, teamwork, and critical thinking. Instructors willing to implement the cooperative learning approach in their classrooms must be willing to take risks, see learning from different perspectives, and engage in the critical thinking of their students (Vermette & Foote, 2001). Benefits of Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning is more than just letting students sit next to each other and complete an assignment together. If implemented the wrong way cooperative learning can become ineffective for the students, therefor stunting their ability to grow as learners.
