Learning theories
Social learning theory proposes that people learn from observing others through processes of attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. It involves observational learning, vicarious learning from observing consequences of others' behaviors, and self-regulation through evaluating one's own behaviors. Learning can occur from real-life models like parents and teachers or symbolic models like books and films. Successful modeling requires motivation, attention, retention, ability to perform behaviors, and gaining control over one's own learning.
Motivating Teenagers in the Classroom
Motivating teeangers to learn a is not easy. IN this presentation I reflect a little on how to teach teenagers can be pleasurable and fun by using very simple activities and then I give some tips on to engage in their learning process.
Humanism vs. constructivism
Humanism is a paradigm that focuses on human freedom, dignity, and potential. It emerged in the 1960s. Key figures in humanistic models of learning include Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs and believed in human potential and dignity. Rogers believed that feelings and emotions should be included in education. Constructivism is a theory of learning where students actively construct their own knowledge rather than having it transferred from teachers. Key theorists include Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner. Piaget believed that learning is developmental while Vygotsky emphasized social interaction and the zone of proximal development. Constructivism sees the student as an active learner.
Learning styles
This document discusses learning styles and their importance in education. It identifies three primary learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners learn through seeing, auditory learners through listening, and kinesthetic learners through moving, doing, and touching. Taking learning styles into account impacts student motivation, learning responsibility, and social justice. It is important for teaching practices to incorporate activities suited to different styles, like using graphs and diagrams for visual learners or debates and discussions for auditory learners. Teachers can evaluate student learning styles through various assessments and tailor their instruction accordingly.
Engaged Learning
This document provides tips and strategies for promoting engaged learning in the classroom. It discusses the importance of student motivation and active learning techniques. Challenges to student engagement are outlined, such as a lack of intrinsic motivation from grades alone. Effective strategies include role playing, debates, response systems, and authentic assessments. The document emphasizes creating a learning-centered environment where students take an active role in constructing knowledge.
Constructivism
Constructivism argues that humans generate knowledge through the interaction between their experiences and ideas. It views learning as individuals constructing meaning based on prior knowledge and experience. Constructivism emphasizes that students learn by actively participating in learning experiences and applying what they already know to build new understandings, rather than through passive reception of information. Teachers act as facilitators, not directors, creating an environment where students learn how to learn through collaboration and problem solving.
Jerome bruner
Jerome Bruner was an American psychologist born in 1915. He received his doctorate from Harvard in 1941 and helped found the Center for Cognitive Studies at Harvard in 1956. Bruner developed a theory of constructivism which posited that learning involves constructing knowledge through discovery. He proposed that information is represented in three stages - enactive, iconic, and symbolic - and can be taught through a spiral curriculum at increasing levels of complexity. Bruner emphasized active, discovery-based learning and the role of social interaction and scaffolding in a child's intellectual development.
Week 4 Cognitive
The document discusses several cognitive learning theories, including Gestalt theory and Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Some key points:
1) Gestalt theory proposes that learning occurs through insight and restructuring experiences into meaningful wholes rather than discrete parts. Kohler's experiments with apes demonstrated insightful learning.
2) Koffka's concept of memory trace links past and present experiences, with stronger traces influencing future problem-solving.
3) Piaget's stages of cognitive development describe how children's thinking abilities develop from sensorimotor to preoperational to concrete operational stages as they progress from birth to age 11.

Motivate students to come to class ppt
This document is a presentation by six students (Pratik, Keyur, Darshan, Jay, Chirag, and Kishan) for their lecturer Ms. Komal Shukla on motivating students to attend class. It identifies student absenteeism as a problem, especially among adolescents. It discusses that motivation and engagement are important for learning. The presentation recommends making students feel a sense of belonging, providing active learning opportunities, understanding student perspectives on competence, values, and social connections, and establishing a supportive school culture and curriculum to improve student motivation.
Edward lee thorndike
Edward Lee Thorndike was an influential American psychologist who spent his career at Teachers College, Columbia University. He is known as the "father of modern educational psychology." Through his experiments with animals in puzzle boxes, Thorndike developed the theory of connectionism and the law of effect, which states that behaviors followed by satisfaction are more likely to be repeated. His work laid the foundation for modern educational psychology and influenced testing in schools and the workplace. Thorndike also created early versions of the military entrance exam still used today.
Operant Conditioning
This document discusses operant conditioning and how it influences learning and behavior. It defines operant conditioning as a method of learning through reinforcement and punishment. Behaviors are strengthened when followed by positive reinforcement or escape from negative reinforcement, and weakened when followed by punishment. The document uses B.F. Skinner's experiments with rats in a Skinner Box as a classic example of how operant conditioning shapes behavior through variable schedules of reinforcement and punishment.
A Case Study on Child Development - Matteo
Matteo is a 6-year-old boy attending John Dewey School for Children who enjoys drawing, playing with his classmates, and imitating squids. He struggles academically and needs tutoring daily. Matteo has developed well physically and socially, enjoying activities like running and playing with friends. However, he still needs work on his cognitive and emotional development, as he struggles with schoolwork and is affected by his parents' separation. Future case studies would benefit from more visits and meetings with parents to provide more information.
Adult Learning Model
The document discusses adult learning theory and instructional design for training adult learners. It defines andragogy as the art and science of adult learning, which focuses on self-directed, experience-based, problem-centered, and socially motivated learning. Malcolm Knowles' assumptions about adult learners and his theory of andragogy are explained. Heutagogy, a more self-determined form of learning, is also introduced. The document then provides Thomson Reuters' 10-step model for instructional design when training adult learners.
An overview of bandura's social learning theory
The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development.
Though rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory, Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning.
His theory added a social element, arguing that people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people.
Known as observational learning (or modeling), this type of learning can be used to explain a wide variety of behaviors.

Five reasons for student misbehavior
Five reasons are provided for student misbehavior:
1. Students have previously been rewarded for misbehavior through attention, even if negative.
2. Different expectations between home and school cause students to feel uneasy and misbehave.
3. When basic needs like food, rest aren't met, students are more likely to misbehave.
4. Students sometimes misbehave to test boundaries and authority. This allows teachers to reinforce clear rules.
5. Students want to assert independence, which they do by controlling situations like refusing assignments.
Piaget vs vygotsky
This document summarizes Piaget's theory of cognitive development and Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective. It describes Piaget's four stages of development and some criticisms of his approach. It then outlines Vygotsky's view that cognitive development is influenced by social and cultural factors like language, collaboration, and the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky argued culture transforms basic mental functions into higher order thinking through tools like language.
Learning Approaches
The document discusses several theories of learning including behaviorism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism, multiple intelligences theory, information processing theory, and the humanistic approach. It provides definitions and key aspects of each theory, with behaviorism focusing on observable behaviors, cognitivism on mental processes, social learning theory on observational learning, and social constructivism emphasizing socially constructed and contextualized knowledge. Theories like multiple intelligences and information processing look at different types of intelligence and how knowledge is acquired and represented. The humanistic approach stresses self-actualization and meeting individual student needs.
Effective questioning
The document provides guidance on effective questioning techniques for teachers. It recommends creating an accepting atmosphere by asking for and answering student questions. It also suggests using a variety of pre-planned and emerging questions, avoiding yes/no questions, and addressing questions to the group. The document outlines 9 types of questions including those that gather information, insert terminology, explore relationships, probe student thinking, generate discussion, link ideas, extend thinking, orient students, and establish context. It advises avoiding multiple questions and providing answers too quickly.
Student engagement
The document discusses strategies to increase student engagement through interaction with course content, peers, and faculty. It emphasizes the importance of student engagement and provides suggestions for fostering engagement, such as being an engaging teacher, using active learning exercises, and incorporating feedback and assessment. Specific techniques are outlined, like connecting content to students' lives, giving students control over their learning, and ensuring content and assessments align with course outcomes. The document draws heavily from the book "Student Engagement Techniques" by Barkley.
Motivation and Learning
Slidecast based on a presentation given on October 29th 2009. An attempt to drill down to find concrete strategies to encourage optimal motivation for learning. Far from being an expert on this, this was an opportunity for me to explore a topic of interest.
Cooperative learning
Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to help each other learn. It is not focused on individual work or competition between students. For cooperative learning to be effective, groups need members who view their roles as contributing to the whole team, interact with each other, are accountable both individually and as a group, and have interpersonal and leadership skills. Cooperative learning provides learning benefits and can be used across content areas, though groups must remain small to stay balanced.
COGNITIVISM THEORY
Cognitivism theory examines how people think and gain knowledge through learning, memory, problem solving, and intelligence. It views the mind as a "black box" where learning occurs through recalling and making sense of stored information. Key factors that influence learning according to cognitivism include a person's existing schemas and previous experiences. Memory plays an important role through encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Learning theories best explained by cognitivism include reasoning, problem solving, and learning with clear objectives. Major theorists in cognitivism include Piaget with his cognitive development theory and Ausubel with his meaningful learning theory.

Behavior management presentation1
The document discusses techniques for behavior management in classroom settings. It describes four key techniques: extinction, which removes reinforcement for undesired behaviors; positive reinforcement, which provides rewards to increase desirable behaviors; counter conditioning, which replaces undesired responses with new responses; and social imitation, where learning occurs through observing others. The document provides examples of how each technique can be applied in classroom settings to shape student behavior and maintain discipline.
Motivational Learning Theories
The document discusses motivation and motivational theory in education. It defines motivation and describes John Keller's ARCS model of motivational design. The ARCS model includes gaining student attention, establishing relevance of content, building confidence, and providing satisfaction. The document also discusses using goal setting theory and teaching self-regulation strategies to motivate students. Motivated students are more productive and help organizations succeed.
Learning style
This document discusses learning styles, which are individual preferences for acquiring and learning information. It identifies three major categories of learning styles: cognitive, sensory, and personality.
Cognitive styles consider mental processes and include field independence/dependence, global/analytic, and reflective/impulsive styles. Sensory styles focus on physical channels and include auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and multi-sensory styles. Personality styles examine traits like extraversion/introversion and tolerance for ambiguity.
Understanding learning styles can help teachers design lessons catered to different preferences and allow students to identify their own strengths. Accommodating various styles can improve the learning process.
How children think and learn
1. Teaching children is different than teaching adults in several key ways. Children learn based on their interests, needs, and developmental characteristics which are physical, emotional, and conceptual.
2. Children have less control over their lives and learn best in their native language as they are still developing physically, emotionally, and conceptually. They also have shorter attention spans and get bored more easily.
3. Younger children are focused on developing literacy and numeracy skills while older children nearing puberty can learn more complex grammatical expressions. All children benefit from stimulating learning experiences.
How children learn
The document discusses learning styles and principles of effective teaching. It describes three common learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. It also lists 12 principles of learning, such as active involvement, social participation, relating new information to prior knowledge, and developmental differences. The document provides examples of classroom strategies for each principle. It emphasizes that teachers should understand their own learning styles and create a positive environment to address students' varied needs.
How Do Children Learn?
The document discusses the different learning styles that children have and how they learn best. It identifies the main learning styles as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, analytic, global, and environmental. Visual learners learn best by seeing information like pictures and objects. Auditory learners learn best by listening and talking. Kinesthetic learners learn best through movement and touch. Analytic learners learn best through organization, lists, and details. Global learners learn best through intuition and quick processing. Environmental learners learn best through factors like sound, light, and temperature. The document concludes that recognizing these different learning styles can help teachers be more effective.

Together these theories recognize the importance of environmental stimuli and reinforcement in the learning process, while acknowledging individual differences that can be addressed through customized stimulus. Elements of all three theories have influenced the American education system with varying levels of success.
How children learn language
1. The document discusses the development of children's speech production and comprehension from babbling to first words to telegraphic speech to rule formation. It explains that speech comprehension precedes production and the relationship between thought, comprehension, and production.
2. It describes characteristics of parentese/baby talk that aid language learning like exaggerated intonation and simplified grammar and vocabulary. Imitation, rule learning, and correction play roles in acquisition.
3. Memory and logic also facilitate language learning as children form word-object associations through memory and use inductive and deductive reasoning. Abstract words are learned later through experience and metaphor.

To fully engage children, teachers must put effort into continually developing new and interactive ways of teaching, and teach with enthusiasm, animation, and excitement to stir the children's interest and motivation. The general principles advise starting from concrete, hands-on experiences before abstract concepts, and motivating children to learn by connecting it to their interests and making it a positive experience.
Early years foundation stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is defined in the Childcare Act of 2006 and was implemented in 2008. It focuses on supporting children's development and learning across six areas. In 2012, the framework was simplified to focus on three prime areas and four specific areas of learning, assessed using an EYFS Profile at age 5. The EYFS requires practitioners to consider each child's needs and interests, plan engaging activities, address any development concerns with parents, and support all children's learning and development.

Children have individual learning styles that engage different types of intelligence like linguistic, musical, spatial, interpersonal, and kinesthetic intelligences. Effective teaching for children provides clear instruction, encouragement, and allows mistakes without fear of consequences.
How children think and learn
This document discusses how children think and learn. It notes that children's needs and interests should be at the center of teaching. Children learn differently than adults due to physical, emotional, conceptual, linguistic, and developmental differences. Their thinking progresses through cognitive stages described by Piaget and social constructivist theories proposed by Vygotsky. Children have individual learning styles that can be visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or involve multiple intelligences. Effective teaching considers a child's unique way of learning and provides a stimulating environment without fear of mistakes.
Cognitive development
Cognitive development involves complex processes of thinking, problem solving, understanding, and learning that begin prenatally and continue throughout life. It involves acquiring and using knowledge, skills, and experiences to build mental models called schemas to manage and understand information. Cognitive development is shaped through interaction with one's environment and experiences that are hands-on, language-rich, allow for exploration and practice, and meet children's developmental readiness. Providing varied, stimulating yet unhurried interactions and experiences best supports children's cognitive growth.
