Learning Long Summary

Well the semester has final come to an end here is my final blog.

What? section should include your theory of how children learn.
Personal I think children learn by what is around them. Children learn through example and what they see happening in front of them. The Environment plays a big part in how children learn about the out doors and what things are. Parents help their kids to learn and Children learn through trial and error. Hands on experiments and doing things themselves is how children learn best.

So What? section should include specific ways in which that theory will impact your classroom practice.
In my classroom/ gym I will have my students explore the out doors as much as the weather permits us to. Help them understand that you can do so many things outdoors. I will let my students learn by doing the skills and doing hands on activities, with plenty of demonstrations and examples to help them create a picture of what to do in their own mind. I will involve the students parents to help them with things at home if they need it.

Now What? section should include next steps for you to take including topics in Ed Psych that you would like to learn more about and areas in which you need to improve.
In Ed Psych I could know the definition well but when it came to examples of that term I did not know what one it was. I need to improve on being able to pick out the different terms in an example or real life situation and understand the word deeper. I would love to learn more about the brain and more in depth about how memory is stored and kept inside for so long. I would love to learn more about different ways to retrieve information faster, so I can be able to teach my students.

I really like learning everything in this class, even though I might not have the best grade on my tests I remember the demonstrations we did in class and the things that I believe are important and will best help my students.

Chapter 10 Social Congnitive views & Ch 9

Today we learned that.....
Reinforcement punishment and
motivation attention and memory were brought together to make Social Cognitive

We watched the Bobo Doll Experiment where a teacher came in and used aggressive behavior with a doll and when sent the kids to play with it they did the same thing.
They use to think that if you watched aggressive behavior you would not do it but this shows that the kids imitate the behavior of the teacher they watched.
The other students that did not watch the teacher did not beat the doll just played with it normally.
Monkey see monkey do

Learning the joining of the two.

• Internal Process, may or may not have behavior change

Reciprocal Causation

Motivating beliefs---- Behavior-----Environmental factors

Power of Expectations

If you put your name on your parer every time and your teacher reinforces you every time the next time you put your name on the paper you expect that. when they do not receive that they get confused.

Scaffolding. A LOT------------Little

Shaping. A LOT continuous-------------- Intermitten(once in a while) maintain

So What?
I really liked the the experiment with the doll and I think it is important for all teachers to know about how students behave and to control how we behave around our students
Now What?
Not ever thing is set in stone but this information about how students learn best and the process that go with them help us students follow the steps and make leaning better for students. I need to make sure I understand all of these different ways of teaching and help the students become more successful.

Chapter 9
I was not in class for this chapter but from reading I learned a lot about different punishments.

I learned that as a teacher should Never use Psychological Punishment. This can damage the chance for the student to learn and scare them to participate. It threatens students self worth.
It also talked about extra classwork that is id not appropriate to assign more class work to punish a student. I never thought it would be inappropriate to do that. In P.E. some kids goof off just so they don't have to do the activity. I thought a good form of punishment would be to do observation forms or an assignment so soon they will want to be good and do the activity.

But I learned that there are things a can do like telling the class that bad behavior will result in a certain consequence.

So What?
This chapter gave me a lot of ideas on things I can do for punishment and things that I should stay away from.

Now What?
I need to make a list of consequences that I would like to exercise in my classroom and make sure all my students no what will happen for off task or miss behaving.
