  3. psychological perspectives on subject-matter learning • What is a psychological perspective? • What is subject-matter? • Why does subject matter? the one five o

  4. why does subject matter? • When examining issues of learning or teaching, why is it critical to consider the subject matter? • It is not enough “to love kids” or “to want to help.” • Good teachers understand – really understand - their subject-matter. • So, whenever you’re examining learning or teaching, it is important to ask, “What is the subject matter?” the one five o

  5. psychological perspectives on learning Behaviorism and Cognitivism • The dominant theoretical perspectives in educational psychology • What are the distinctive characteristics of each perspective on learning? the one five o

  6. psychological perspectives on learning Behaviorism and Cognitivism: Each perspective offers a unique perspective on: • What it means to have learned something • How learning takes place • What motivates students to learn • How learning can be assessed the one five o

  7. paradigms Behaviorism and cognitivism more than just different points of view. • Its not like walking around a person and seeing different side of that person. Much deeper than that. the one five o

  8. paradigms Behaviorism and cognitivism more than just different points of view. • From each perspective, one sees different things, asks different questions, uses different methods to explore questions, offers different explanations, holds different views of human nature, has different values, etc. • Perspectives that are part of a network of thoughts and values are called Paradigms the one five o

  13. contrasting paradigms Examples • Behaviorism & Cognitivism views of learning • Shifting from one view to another is so dramatic, it has been called a “revolution” the one five o

  14. contrasting paradigms • Shifting from one view to another is so dramatic, it has been called a “revolution” • The Copernican revolution: the shift from heliocentric to geocentric views of the cosmos • The Cognitive revolution: the shift from a behaviorist &cognitivist view of learning the one five o

  15. contrasting paradigms • Typically, paradigms are scientific perspectives • But, other contrasting views might be similarly deep rooted. Example, differentviews of compassion. the one five o

  16. paradigms: contrasting views Compassion: Sympathetic concern for another’s suffering the one five o

  20. back to views of learning Summary Different paradigms of learning will direct your attention to different aspects of the students’ experience and lead you to make different responses as a teacher. the one five o

  21. behaviorist & cognitive paradigms • B. F. Skinner – behaviorist • Jean Piaget - cognitivist the one five o

  25. exercising your vision PTC – responding to a student who did not clean up (48:45) • Take the view of the behaviorist or cognitivist perspectives. Describe and analyze the situation. Make recommendations. • Possible Q: Are things going well? Why or why not? the one five o

  26. exercising your vision PTC – teaching students the idea of simile (42:30) simile: a figure of speech comparing one thing to a different thing to make a description more vivid • Take the view of the behaviorist or cognitivist perspectives. Describe and analyze the situation. Make recommendations. • Possible Q: Are things going well? Why or why not? the one five o

  27. exercising your vision Consider this… • You a student in xx class at MSU. You are doing well in this class. • Take a behaviorist or cognitive perspective on your learning. What might you see? the one five o
