There are certain fundamental qualities of a learner that can be considered as the learner’s equipment in order for him of for her to absorbed knowledge in learning. These fundamental equipments are the learners cognitive as well as the learner’s appetitive faculties. These faculties will naturally help or guide the learner as he dealt with the learning process. The cognitive faculties of the learners included his or her five senses, his memory, his imagination, as well as his intellect. All of these faculties is related to the basic operation of the human brain and are necessary for the learning process. Through the learner’s five senses, the learners can be able to see, to hear, to taste and to smell. He or she can be able to grasp different information from his or her surrounding environment using these natural senses. With the learner’s imagination, he or she can be able to form pictorial representation of material objects in his or her mind. This ability is an important factor in the learning process. The learner’s memory is one of the important factors in learning. With the use of the memory, the learner can recall or retain post mental actions in his or her mind. The memory serves as the storage of...

...Final Paper Magean Black Liberty University Teachers now days have so many tools available to use to help teach math. “The teaching of mathematics has changed dramatically in one particular are in the past ten years, the use of technology” (Ridener & Fritzer p. 96).Giving the students a new way of learning, instead of just hearing their teacher talk will help the student get involved in wanting to learn. Not all children learn by just listening to the teacher talk. Using concrete objects and technology is very helpful for teaching math and it also is good for the kinetic learners. Keeping up with technology and the latest trends will help teachers keep their students attention in learning. One tool that I like to use a lot and will use when I start teaching is the Cuisenaire rods. Cuisenaire rods are rods that come in ten different sizes and come in different colors including: white, red, green, purple, yellow, dark green, black, brown, blue, and orange. You can either provide them for all the students or you can have one set and let the children make their own, that way they can use them at home. Cuisenaire rods give the children a range of opportunity to learn in math in a hands -on approach, weather the subject be fractions, measurements, or multiplication. One way that you can teach your students using the Cuisenaire rods are when teaching fractions. Fractions are always tough for most students to understand and having this tool will give them different ways...

...Education in the late 1970’s Andrea R.

This analysis is based off of an interview and has comparisons to today’s schooling system based off of historical events. Keywords: Education Education in the late 1970’s For my oral history interview I chose to interview my soon to be father in-law about his experience in the late 70’s. The reason I decided to interview him was because he had attended Dominican University back when it was Rosary College and I figured it would be great to see how different the school is now vs back then. During my interview I got to know a lot more about the person I was interviewing as well as their experience in school and the overall experience to education in the 70s’. Throughout this interview I’ve come to notice a couple of things that really stood out to me and one of those would the diversity of students in the 70’s was lacking, although segregation ended it was like there was still and unwritten form of one. Another thing that caught my attention was the advanced in technology from the 70’s to today, it may not seem like much but when compared to how that applies and effects the education systems it’s...

...Applications of Piaget and Vygostsky’s cognitive developmental theories in a practical classroom environment Piaget and Vygotsky have antonymous beliefs when dealing with the concepts of cognitive development. Vygotsky believes in development through social behaviour whilst Piaget believes in individuals acquiring knowledge on their own. Both however, believe that the interaction between development and learning hold significant implications for a child’s growth. This essay discusses some of the philosophical beliefs of each theorist in regards to a scenario based in the classroom of a year five teacher named Ann. Ann reinforces classroom lessons through the outdoor environment, exemplifying Piaget’s theories of constructivist based learning as well as teaching methods that cater to the concrete operational stage of cognitive development. Ann also displays Vygotsky’s cognitive theory involving the zone of proximal development and peer to peer or teacher-peer scaffolding within a group environment. The essay will examine Ann’s teaching methods and how they relate to these cognitive developmental theories. Ann’s socially-constructive pedagogical approach as described by Howell (2012) will help children build their knowledge base through collaborative learning as well as independent work, known as scaffolding. Ann would apply the technique of scaffolding by providing assistance and offering feedback relating to new information (Woolfolk, 2004). Vygotsky (1978) put forward a theory...

...Discussion Board 1- My Christian worldview is definitely developed every day, and has been developing since I was born. The theory I like to talk about and discuss is Jean Piaget’s Cognitive theory. The theory that Piaget introduced during his studies is comparable to every aspects of a person’s life, learning ability, and worldview. Birth to 2 years is the period of Sensorimotor. During this time frame an infant or toddler uses senses and motor abilities to understand the world. Learning is active; there is no conceptual or reflective thought. (Text 45) The most important objective that is gain during this period is object permanence. This is important because it can be related to faith in the Christian Worldview. As a child learns that that objects still exist even when it is out of sight, as a Christian’s faith grows they need little evidence that God exist and Christ died and rose again. They understand God permanence. The next stage ranges from 2 to 6 years, this is the Preoperational Stage. During this stage children use language to understand the world, noticing colors, shapes, living things and their thinking is egocentric. They are gaining an understanding of the world in their own eyes. One of my preschoolers at the CDC I teach argues with me on if the sky is blue or white, her thinking is that the clouds may also be blue and the sky is actually white. Her understand of the clouds and sky is that the clouds are always in the sky and can change from blue to black....

...As we are wrapping up this semester, our reading has turned to the e-booklet that prepares us for the RVE Praxis test. I have not taken this test yet, but am scheduled to take it in a few weeks, so this reading was very beneficial for me. The e-booklet looks to be a great study guide because it details all of the information that you need to know in order to pass the test. The e-booklet also gives you a set of practice questions that help to prepare you for the exam. I also really appreciate the study plan that is included. The e-booklet also include a detailed description of the test format and how the questions should be answered. As we get to chapter ten, the Tompkins text begins to wrap up what we have been learning about teaching reading. Organizing and planning what type of program we will use to teach reading becomes very important. Chapter eleven also discusses the importance of differentiating your reading instruction to meet the needs of all of your students (Tompkins, 2014). Based on the information in the e-booklet about the types of questions on the test, it is evident that if we study the Tompkins text as well as the other material that has been made available to us, we should have success on this Praxis test. My personal experience with taking Praxis tests is that the study guides that ETS provides are invaluable as well as the practice tests that you can purchase. The textbooks used in Liberty’s programs are also a great help. The most important...
