question

Three Roles of a Teacher

answer

Teach, Manage, Assess (often neglected). All of these are intertwined

question

Five Effective Teaching Qualities

answer

Enthusiasm, knowledge, organization, clarity teaching, vary instructional routine

question

Bloom's Taxonomy

answer

Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation... Three Domains of Learning: Cognitive, Affective, Psychomotor

question

BT Stage 1

answer

Knowledge: Recognizing and recalling information. About 90 percent of learning doesn't get passed knowledge. Example: What is the capital of...

question

BT Stage 2

answer

Comprehension: Demonstrating understanding of the materials; transforming, reorganizing, interpreting. Example: Explain in your own words OR What is the main idea of...

question

BT Stage 3

answer

Application: Using information to solve a problem with a single correct answer. Example: Which principle is demonstrated in...

question

BT Stage 4

answer

Analysis: Critical thinking; identifying reasons and motives; making inferences based on specific data; analyzing conclusions to see if supported by evidence. Example: What influenced the writings of OR Why was DC chosen as the capital?

question

BT Stage 5

answer

Synthesis: Divergent, original thinking, proposal, design or story. Example: What's a good name for OR What would the U.S. be like if the British had won...

question

BT Stage 6

answer

Evaluation: Judging the worth of an idea, notion, theory, thesis, proposition, information, or opinion. Informed opinion or decision. Example: Which U.S. senator is the most effective?

question

Cognitive Domain

answer

Mental operations from the lowest level of simple recall of information to complex evaluative processes. What they will be able to do in class.

question

Affective Domain

answer

Feelings, attitudes, and values from lower levels of acquisition to the highest level of internalization and action. We want them to value what they learn.

question

Psychomotor Domain

answer

Locomotor skills, from the low-level simple manipulation of materials to the higher level of communication of ideas, and finally to the highest level of creative performance (music and art).

question

Learning

answer

Being able to apply what we know. Being able to retain information. It is a change in mental processes or observable behavior. Changes in behavior due to experience. The development of understandings and the CHANGE OF BEHAVIOR resulting from experiences.

question

How Does the Brain Think?

answer

The brain processes incoming sensory data through its different regions. The brain thinks in WHOLES, not pieces. It stores in pieces however, all in different places. We retrieve in pieces- deductive process- whole to part. Example: the brain does not process every letter in a word, but rather the word as a whole. This is why checking your own research paper is tough.

question

The Importance of Repetition

answer

Practice makes perfect is a fundamental learning tool. Base the curriculum on the different stages [7 total] students are on. Use senses to mix up learning. You will vary your instructional routine many times!

question

The Brain Makes ____ and ____

answer

Patterns and connections that CHANGE with experiences. When triggered, the connections that have been constructed by the brain reassemble into the patterns that make up memory. With experiences, dendrites grow and make connections with other neurons: IMPLICATION: Practice makes perfect (homework is good), and new experiences increase the Brain's connections and strengthen neural associations. HOMEWORK: Important to their success. Get them to do homework by making it interesting.

question

Deductive Learning

answer

The brain thinks and processes in wholes (deductive reasoning), so it is important for a student to understand the whole first, then once there is understanding, the teacher is able to move to specifics and details (inductive reasoning).

question

Understanding

answer

Application of material (vs. learning: change in behavior).

question

Building Blocks of Learning

answer

Facts: small bits of knowledge- must know facts in order to understand concepts. The goal is to get them to conceptualization.

question

Concepts

answer

Categories, sets, or classes with common characteristics. A concept has 5 characteristics: Name, definition, characteristics, examples, and place in a hierarchy. Piaget: If schema is inaccurate, students will be confused. If this is the case, the teacher has to help student change the schema.

question

Declarative Knowledge

answer

Knowing basic facts and information

question

Procedural Knowledge

answer

Knowing how to do something in steps- teaches mind structure and organization.

question

Conditional Knowledge

answer

Knowing when or under what conditions to use knowledge and procedures... "If this, then this..." Logic: order of events.

question

Positive Transfer

answer

You want prior learning to contribute to recent learning in a positive transfer. Large group teaching makes it impossible. Goal is to have positive transfer.

question

Negative Transfer

answer

Prior knowledge interferes with new learning

question

Zero Transfer

answer

Prior knowledge went away and nothing goes forward.

question

Behavioral Theorists [4]

answer

Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike, and Skinner

question

Social Theorists [3]

answer

Bandura, Moslow, Vygotsky

question

Social

answer

Changes in school achievement as well as changes in attitude and motivation. Example of Teaching Strategies: group work, role play, cooperative learning, demonstration, learning centers, and discussion.

question

Cognitive Theorists [6]

answer

Piaget, Gagna, Bruner, Ausubel, Erikson, Vygoslsky.

question

Cognitive

answer

Changes in the mental structures that contain information and procedures for operating on information. Examples of Teaching Strategies: Audio-visual aide, experiments, hands-on-activities, concept maps, mnemonics, reports, and homework.

question

The Students in the Schools Stats

answer

Most crime occurs between 4 pm and 7 pm. About one-fourth of the children in the U.S. live in poverty (< $18,000). More than one-half of all students in the U.S. are being raised by a single parent.

question

How to Teach for Mastery in the Classroom

answer

You want all children to have mastery of the content. IF they do not do well the first time, reteach the material in a different way. 1.) Teach 2.) Test/Assess 3.) Reteach 4.) Retesting (using correctives). Be sure that you alter your teaching to the students' needs. Give them a chance to prove themselves.

question

Learning Stages from Brain Article

answer

There are 7 stages of development. Children must go through one stage in order to get to the next stage. Degeneration of brain cells is from lack of use, not a product of age. Some teachers teaching the curriculum and students do not learn, because the curriculum is too advanced for certain stages. More experiences allow children to develop more dendrites to connect to other material. If not used, the dendrites go away. Use many different senses to allow the students to fully understand material.

question

Objectives

answer

Objectives must be organized and planned. Statement that describes what the student will be able to do upon completion of the instructional experience. Example: the student will be able to name all 50 states. Must be able to measure it!

question

Objectives are Intended to: [2 items]

answer

1.) Help teachers plan WHAT they are going to teach (not HOW they are going to teach). 2.) Help teachers create test questions that align with what has been taught (as indicated by the objective). Plan/organize- what. objectives must match test questions.

question

Motivation [2 types]

answer

A process that energizes and directs behavioral outcomes. Extrinsic and intrinsic.

question

Curriculum

answer

WHAT is taught in the classroom. Usually in written form. Example: textbook. Without content knowledge, it's impossible to teach.

question

Instruction

answer

HOW curriculum is implemented in the classroom. Example: problem solving, puzzles, etc.

question

Extrinsic Motivation

answer

External catalyst that encourages behaviors (rewards and punishments). Begin with this and then move toward intrinsic. Examples: praise, grades, food, tokens, attention getters (how you open your lesson)

question

Intrinsic Motivation

answer

Internal catalyst that comes from within the individual; a natural tendency to seek out and conquer challenges and pursue personal interests. Learning is often the reward. This is student centered. Examples: values (parents now want values taught), self-efficacy (how they feel about themselves), goal attainment, self-actualization, real life relevance, hobbies, personal interest.

question

Factors that Affect Achievement [3]

answer

A study of 25,000 high school students determined that 3 major influences on academic achievement are: Ability (what the kid has), motivation (teacher and kid), quality of instruction (teacher-critical to children)

question

Student's ability to study and comprehend is often contingent upon their ability to take notes. Best Strategies: 1. Outline (full or incomplete)- provided by teacher, 2. "T" notes created by students, 3. Picture frame notes, 4. Concept maps created by students. Require students to take notes, collect notebooks and give them a notebook grade!

question

Generalizations

answer

Statements, sometimes inferential in nature, that describe a relationship between two or more concepts. A law or principle is a generalization that is accepted as truth. Must be able to transfer information to other things- application.

question

Multiculturalism [4]

answer

1.) There is value in recognizing cultural diversity and a richness added to learning and culture that was not present previously in American culture. 2.) All students should have a full and equal opportunity to learn. 3.) Educational reform seeks to break down barriers to education regardless of culture, ethnicity, and gender. 4.) American cultural diversity is defined by the knowledge, rules, traditions, attitudes, and values that guide behavior in a particular group.

question

Reading Strategies [2]

answer

KWL- What do I already KNOW, What do I WANT to know, End of the reading/activity, what have I LEARNED. READS- REVIEW headings and subheadings, EXAMINE boldface words, ASK, "what do I expect to learn?", DO it-read, SUMMARIZE in your own words- focuses their attention and helps them to review readings and subheadings.

answer

Cause and Effect Organization, Sequence Chart, Main-Idea Organizers, Network Diagrams, Magic Square, Dichotomous Key.

question

Concept Attainment

answer

Strategy used to help students categorize attributes of a specific concept (e.g. hurricanes, gulf coast region, verbs, etc.) In advance of the lesson, the teacher must determine: the name of the concept, concept definition, conceptual attributes, examples of the concepts, creating a checklist of "yes" and "no" attributes for student activities.

question

Problem Solving

answer

In any type of problem solving, the student is actively involved in deriving a solution to a problem/dilemma posed by the teacher. Problem solving can take many forms in a classroom situation: geographical mapping, experiments, scavenger hunts, timelines, webquests, "if... then..." fact or fiction etc.

question

Types of Puzzle Challenges

answer

Crossword puzzles, word searches, cryptograms, anagrams

question

Cryptograms

answer

A puzzle with a hidden meaning

question

Anagram

answer

Word or phrase formed from rearranging letters. Example: Elvis=lives, horse=?

question

Discussion Questions

answer

Questions should be posed by the teacher that guide reflective thought and critical thinking. They should move beyond rote memory answers.The best approach is to: PLAN and WRITE your questions in advance of classroom discussion (so students don't take you down rabbit trails), use Bloom's Taxonomy as a guide for organizing questions from simple to complex, wait time for a STUDENT RESPONSE= 5 seconds

question

Group Work

answer

Cooperative learning (ability group ~ 5 members), learning centers, group work, think-pair-share, jigsaw, panel discussion, symposium (members present their side), debate, round table.

question

Cooperative Learning

answer

Each person has a different role. Most effective group collaborative out there, Jobs vary depending on the assignment. Individual and group accountability. Individual grades, peer evaluations, assess at the end of every day! 80% retention

question

Individualized Lesson Plan

answer

Teacher creates curriculum and activities for a student who is allowed to progress at his/her own rate. To create this: write content section (length varies from paragraph to 1-2 pages); number of content sections varies, content is followed by comprehension check, feedback section provides answers, solutions to each comprehension check section.

question

Pros/Cons to ILP

answer

Targets his/her audience and writes it for specific needs of the individual, provides for individual accomplishment and differentiation in students, and requires inordinate amount of time to create.

question

Subject-Centered Curriculum [3]

answer

The oldest most widely used form of curriculum broken into 3 categories: Common Content, Special Content, and Elective Content.

question

Student-Centered Curriculum

answer

Content as it relates to student interests and real life.

question

Hidden Curriculum

answer

Values or behaviors that students learn indirectly over the course of their schooling because of the structure of the educational system and the teaching methods used. Teachers must educate the "whole student" not just the part of the student that they encounter in class. Factors outside of the classroom dictate how a student learns.
