The following blogpost discusses the interesting idea of superstitions being related to operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is when individuals learn to behave in specific ways based on antecedents and consequences. In regards to superstitions, as behavior becomes encourages by the rewards, the specific habits are formed. In the gambling example, the players receive positive reinforcement when they win money.
Operant conditioning is another vital tool that educators should understand. This type of conditioning gives students reinforcement or punishment based on the behavior. In my classroom, I will establish reinforcement when I want students to continue behavior. Then, I will create punishments when I do not what students to continue a specific behavior. The ideas of operant conditioning from B.F. Skinner can be applicable in my future classroom.
The following video is a clip from the television show, "The Office". During this scene, Jim classically conditions Dwight to salivate at the sound of a restarting computer. This clip effectively demonstrates Pavlov's findings on classical conditioning. Jim pairs the neutral stimulus (computer restart sound) with an unconditioned stimulus (Altoids), which creates a conditioned response.
The information regarding classical conditioning is vital for any educator to know. Classical conditioning can be useful when create classroom transitions. For example in my future classroom, I can condition my students to clean up their activities and prepare for the next lesson when I turn the lights off. Classical conditioning can be a useful tool in my future classroom.
The comic illustrates the eight different types of Gardner's Multiple Theory of Intelligence. Howard Gardner argued that there are eight different types of intelligence individuals can have. Through finding our intelligence, we can determine ways we learn best. The comic organizes the eight types of intelligence and provides examples of how each type learns and understands the world around them.
In my future classroom, I plan to fully implement the ideas of Howard Gardner. I will create activities and lessons that revolve around different intelligences. For example, I can create a math lesson where students practice addition and subtraction using themselves and moving around the room. This activity would help bodily-kinesthetic students. There are many opportunities for me to add areas for each type of intelligence to grasp the concepts.
The photo not only provides a quirky saying, but also a reference to giftedness. This refers to a student with an IQ score of 130 or above. These students have high levels of performance, a grand general knowledge, and the ability to learn quickly. This photo refers to the faster track of learning known as Advanced Placement courses. Advanced Placement courses provided gifted students with an accelerated approach of curriculum.
In my future classroom, I plan on differentiating curriculum for students that are identified as gifted. Curriculum packing can be beneficial to these students. Along with allowing for these students to move ahead with the material. I will also plan more complex and applicable scenarios for gifted students.
This chart focuses on four types of cognitive learning theories. We heavily discussed Piaget's theory and Vygotsky's theory in class during the cognitive learning theory section. The chart helps organize the types of theories by how children learn, and the psychologists behind them. The chart also compares cognitive learning theory to other learning theories.
The learning theories chart can be very useful in my future classroom. When determining ways to educate my students, I can assess the different theories and how the children learn. The chart also gives me the basic understanding of how students learn through each theory.
The following chart was in an article discussing information processing. The chart gives principles of using information processing to help students remember the material. Then the chart gives ways for teachers to implement the principles. Information processing is so vital in the classroom, because it determines if students will remember what is discussed in class.
I found this chart to be a very helpful tool to me as a future educator. Knowing how important information processing is, it is necessary that I apply the principles in my classroom. The chart gives me various methods to ensure the principles are being met. In the future, I plan to implement information processing through using the principles and their methods discussed in the chart.
The infographic provides key statistics about the prevalence of bullying in schools. The statistics shown are shocking and educators should be aware of the types of bullying. As discussed in class, bullying can be a traumatic experience and detrimental to student success.
The statistics shown in the infographic are shocking to all, especially educators. Being with students daily, it should be part of my job to put an end to the bullying epidemic. In my classroom, I will discuss with my students what bullying is and how dangerous it can become. I hope that I can educate my students to become determined to stop bullying.
This video from YouTuber, Swoozie, describes his experiences with a school bully. Although the video was funny, I believe he displays how a child feels when they are bullied. Bullying has become a serious problem in schools and has become a national discussion.
Bullying has always been a topic that I am passionate about. In my future classroom, I will not tolerate bullying from my students. One way to discourage bullying, is through creating a positive, supportive classroom environment. Also, I would like to be a teacher that students can receive help from if they are being bullied.
The model shown in the photo is an interactive design on thinglink. This model shows the learning cycle through formative assessment. The interactive perspective of instructional strategies is reflected in this cycle. As instruction is introduced, educators assess the outcomes with the instructional strategy used. The learning cycle model shows how instruction is developed through analyzing students success against the goal or objective.
Instructional strategies is one of the most important concepts to implement in my future classroom. The interactive model is especially helpful when determining if my instructional method was beneficial. I plan on analyzing my students success with the goals set for the lesson. I want to continuously grow as a teacher, and one way to accomplish this is through new instructional strategies and assessing students understanding using formative assessments.
In this video from "Reading Rockets", the instructional strategy of 'jigsaw' is discussed. One model of an instructional strategy is cooperative learning. This method includes groups learning as a whole and teaching other students about what they learned. The method 'jigsaw' is shown in the video as a way to develop reading comprehension. Cooperative learning can be a way for all students to become involved in their own learning and can increase student focus in topics.
The method of cooperative learning, 'jigsaw', has been a favorite of mine since I practiced it in high school. I plan on implementing cooperative learning on various occasions in my classroom. For example, to introduce a new topic, I can have groups of students study different aspects and then have them teach it to their 'home group'. A 'jigsaw' can be a wonderful way to engage students in class topics.
