Why is it important To obtain a job in the future. To know how to raise a family
My inspiration! • I want to inspire young children to become excited about learning! • They should WANT to learn • They should know the MEANING behind what they are learning
Results! The class seemed to have the majority of our learning Philosophies agree with COGNITIVE!
Behaviorist • example: Thorndike • Empiricist • associated with associationist, behaviorist theory • learning is forming associations • transfer is direct • OUT of the head – behavior ONLY
Cognitive • example: Piaget • Rationalist • associated with cognitive, constructivist, information-processing theory • learning is cognitive growth, formation of conceptual structures • IN the head
Situative • example: Dewey, Vygotsky • Pragmatic/Marxist (and much else…) • Associated with pragmatism, situative, socio-cultural, socio-historical, cultural-historical, distributed cognition, situated cognition, legitimate peripheral participation, etc… • learning is enculturating, expanding possibilities for perception and action • OUT of and IN the head • Culture • Distributed cognitions • Internalization
Now, back to the beginning… • Looking again at my definition of “learning” • My definition of learning is Cognitive!
