ED 300: Human Growth and Learning Welcome Opening Prayer
Review: How students learn: • Cognitive Growth: • disequilibrium, assimilation, schemes, accommodation • Personal and Social growth: • Students need teachers and classroom where they can discuss and learn from each other • Differences • Cultural, Gender, Individual
Review: How students learn: • Model of Human Memory • Sensory, Short-Term Memory, Long-Term Memory • Knowledge Construction • Concepts, Schema and Scripts, Theories, Worldviews • Complex Cognitive Processes • Metacognition and Learning strategies • Problem solving strategies • Fostering Creativity • Fostering critical thinking
Assignment • Write a lesson plan you will use before the end of the school year. (20 points) • Label the concept or schema that will be the focus of the lesson. (Topic or title of the lesson.) • Include and label activities which will promote effective knowledge construction. • Modelling • Emphasizing Conceptual Understanding • Encouraging Classroom dialogue • Authentic activities • Scaffolding
Assignment Choose one of the four strategies for promoting complex cognitive processes and include it in the lesson plan. (10 points) • Metacognition and Learning strategies • Problem solving strategies • Fostering Creativity • Fostering critical thinking Label the strategy in your lesson plan.
Behaviorist Views of Learning Content/ Objectives • I will identify behaviors that can disrupt the learning in a classroom. • I will identify positive reinforcement strategies to help students improve their behavior in the classroom. Language Objectives: • I will discuss and write a Behavior Intervention Plan using positive reinforcement strategies to improve a student’s behavior in the classroom.
BehavioristsView of Learning Basic Assumptions Belief • Our behaviour is a result of our experiences with our environment. • Learning involves a behaviour change. • Learning involves forming a relationship between stimuli and response. • Learning will most likely occur when the stimuli and response close together in time.
BehavioristsView of Learning Examples:
Behaviourists View of Learning Reinforcer: Consequences that increase the behaviours Punisher: Consequences that decrease the behaviours.
Behaviourists View of Learning Examples: Punisher Punisher Reinforcer Reinforcer
BehavioristsView of Learning Rule of Thumb! Almost always true Positive Reinforcement will change behaviour over time. “And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, and a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts,” Alma 5:13 Punishers will decrease or stop behaviour temporarily.
BehavioristsView of Learning Positive Reinforcers: Concrete reinforcers: Something you can touch, e.g. snack, sticker, merit card, school supplies, etc. Social reinforcers: Smile, gesture (thumbs up, tap on shoulder), verbal praise, thank you Activity reinforcer: Free time in class, class party, etc.
BehavioristsView of Learning Activity: • Brainstorm behaviours you often see in the classroom that are disruptive to the learning environment.
BehavioristsView of Learning 2. Brainstorm positive reinforcement strategies that could be used to increase the replacement behaviours.
BehaviorIntervention Plan • Writing a Behaviour Intervention Plan (BIP) • Choose a student who displays challenging learning behaviours in the classroom. e.g. out of seat, not completing assignments, shouting out, bothering others, coming late, absent, etc. • Determine the target behaviour that is the most problematic. • Determine replacement behaviours. • Determine positive reinforcement strategies. • Develop a plan of action
BehaviorIntervention Plan Class Activity: We will work together as a class to write a Behaviour Intervention Plan for a target student. (see handout)
BehaviorIntervention Plan Assignment (20 points) Work with your group to write a behaviour intervention Plan for a student who exhibits challenging learning behaviours in the classroom.
Absolutely Be consistent!!! Be consistent!!! Be consistent!!!
Complex Cognitive Processes Content/ Objectives • I will identify behaviors that can disrupt the learning in a classroom. • I will identify positive reinforcement strategies to help students improve their behavior in the classroom. Language Objectives: • I will discuss and write a Behavior Intervention Plan using positive reinforcement strategies to improve a student’s behavior in the classroom.
