Hi, so this week's Prezi is going to be on

learning theories and the first thing we have is Peta

joji, not quite sure if I'm pronouncing that.

Right? So my understanding of this term was kind of

just a study of different teaching methods, um all the

different kind of teaching styles, feedback assessment, um, things like

that, and then we have the constructive schism, construct activism.

Excuse me.

Um so my understanding of this was that students are

able to build up their knowledge, um so they're gaining

new knowledge and they're kind of building that on top

of knowledge that they have previously learned and they're kind

of in a way forming um connections.

Um I think a great example would be like working

in groups with other students are kind of feeding off

of each other and um, things like that.

Um so who are the proponents of this theory?

Um, Jean Pigott is considered the father of this theory,

um and then we are to give an example, so

in math class, we like, during, when we're adding, we

give our students give our students um like a variety

of ways that they can choose to add, so we

have things like they can use number blocks, um they

can use what we call counting rings, we have a

number chart that they are able to use, we have,

like this kind of white board looking thing that they're

able to use.

Um and then another big thing in this theory is

that students are just really actively engaged in their learning

versus like the teachers, so the teacher is kind of

more to the side and the student is more you

know actively um kind of their own teacher in a

way I want to say.

Um So neck I already answered that question.

Sorry. Yeah and then I gave that example as well.

Um so we have behaviorism.

Um so the big thing with behaviorism um I've studied

this quite a few times now is um operate conditioning,

so it's using um positive and like negative reinforcement or

punishments to kind of control or um help a behavior

become more constant, so you know, noticing um whenever you

give praise to the student, when they do well in

a test, you know they're not, you notice that they

keep doing well so that you know, Prezi would be

considered a positive reinforcement.

Um So an example of this would be in my

classroom, we have a certain student that has trouble keeping

um on their hands to themselves, so with every class

um If they are able to keep their hands to

themselves and have good behavior and stand task, they get

a check mark.

And for every three check marks, they are rewarded with

10 minutes of iPad time.

So I think that's a great way that we are

using positive reinforcement in my classroom and then you know,

if they aren't having bad behavior then you know it's

no ipad, so that kind of can turn into a

negative reinforcement as well and then the and then let

me skip through here and then the founder of that

um theory behaviorism was B.

F. Skinner and the next we have bloom's taxonomy.

Um so this kind of, it literally is a pyramid

with kind of different levels.

Um it's a model to classify different categories and also

within those categories are um subcategories um in the classroom.

So it's kind of like thinking, learning, understanding, remembering, memorizing,

listing kind of things like that.

And I think this is widely used by all teachers

and professors no matter the grade level.

Which is really cool.

Um So who Benjamin bloom was the founder of this

theory. And like I said before it is widely used

by teachers and professors from kindergarten all the way up

through college level.

Um so an example of this um I remember in

third grade we were given like a list of literally

all the propositions and we were told to memorize them

and then um you know when we thought we had

them all down we would give our list to our

teacher and we would have to re site all the

propositions without missing a single one.

And after we were done then um you know we

we moved on from from that and then we also

did the same thing with us capital.

So now I absolutely no all of my capitals and

all my propositions to this day.

Um So the cognitive learning theory.

Um This kind of my understanding is that both internal

and external factors can have an influence on us students

like learning process.

So I think it's um mm more focused on like

learning the wise to the behaviors or like, you know,

a student comes up with a certain answer and it's

kind of like looking behind the answer and and wondering

how did they come to that conclusion from this theory?

Um so we'll go to the next slide.

Um so an example of this was that in my

classroom whenever we see a student um do a certain

behavior that's not appropriate or something like that, we'll ask

them, hey, you know, why did you do such and

such? And they kind of give us an idea or

you know, they'll try to and it really gives us

a better understanding of what was the trigger and you

know, how can we prevent this from happening next time?

I think this theory is really helpful in my classroom

because we're really able to understand how certain behaviors um

or what what triggers certain behaviors in my classroom and

then who um that was again, jean Pigott, he is

a very famous psychologist, so the social emotional learning theory.

Um so my understanding of this um is a lot

about just self awareness, controlling your emotions, forming relationships with

other people, managing yourself, managing your emotions um and you

know, building relationships with your peers and um those kind

of that real social, those real social skills that you

need. Yeah.

Um so who this was James um Komar and I

believe this is implemented in a lot of um elementary

classrooms, especially at my school, um I'll kind of float

into my next slide further an example.

So every morning at my school we bring my students

to their home room for the first hour and they

have self time, which is social, emotional learning time.

So this was absolutely like a super super cool theory

to like learn about, I didn't even know it was

an actual theory until just learning about this in this

class. Um so yeah, every morning we go in for

their cell time and we learned a whole bunch of

different um you know, skills sometimes we're working in groups

with their peers and I remember um trying to think

of what we did today.

Um so today um it's um anti bullying months.

So we went out with begs to talk and we

did like words of kindness all around the school on

the sidewalk, so that was super fun.

Um We've done different kindness books and you know, going

around and thinking of ways where we can be kind

and just things like that.

Um so why is it that are important to learn

different theories?

Um I think it's it's great resources for um future

teachers to have, so they are able to kind of

learn about, you know, the foundation of these theories and

kind of think to themselves, okay, do I want to

implement some of these into my classroom and how can

I implement them into my classroom and you know, for

me, um just learning about social emotional learning theory, I

um so want to implement this into my classroom, I'm

kind of going into the next side And then my

theory is absolutely a social emotional learning theory.

Um I plan to 100% make um my first hour

of my, you know, school school day teaching, uh there's

a cell time, so, you know, social emotional learning through,

I think it's so amazing for, you know, young kids

to start learning about how to manage their emotions and

how to form rightful relationships with others and just learning

how to manage themselves, you know, I was never taught

a lot of things about my emotions growing up and

that caused me to kind of have some problems as

I was older, so I think this is just so

amazing that these kids are able to just start so

young learning about, you know, we call it at my

school jones of regulation, you know, and how to move

from the red zone and how to get into the

Blue zone in ways that we can move how students

can move to that zone on their own and just

coming up with ways to cope and things like that.

I just think it's just so important for kids to

know.
