...Home Paper 1 Date: 12-4-2012 Technical Core of Teaching and Learning The technical core of all Christian schools is integration of faith in teaching and learning. The technical level or technical core is the system of organizational activity where the actual product of the organization produced; in school it is exemplified by the teaching and learning in the classroom. (p.42) Learning occurs when experience produces a stable change in someone’s knowledge or behavior. It involves a change in individual’s knowledge or behavior. There are different theories which emphasis different areas of learning: the behavioral theory, the cognitive theory, and the constructivist theory of learning. (p. 43) There are three general learning perspectives – behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist – each of which helps us understand learning and teaching. The behavioral approach of learning emphasizes the importance of antecedents and consequences in changing behavior. There are two kinds of consequences – those that reinforce (strengthen) behavior and those that punish (weaken) behavior. Many students confuse negative reinforcement and punishment; reinforcement strengthens behavior, but punishment suppresses or weakens behavior. (p.43-46) Cognitive explanations of learning highlight the importance of prior knowledge in focusing attention, making sense of new information, and supporting memory. In the cognitive approach there are three kinds of knowledge – declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge...

...Section A In my scenario for Elementary school age children the first student that I choose is Bridgett. Bridgett needs continual confirmation that she is doing her work correctly, and she demands constant attention. To promote Intrinsic Motivation to help change her behavior of not needing my constant attention I would create a learning environment that fosters both independent learning and cooperative learning as part of a group. In this I would include real-world activities to help her easily recognize her academic skills and how she would be able to use them in the real-world. Thus giving her the desire to take on a task that gives her the satisfaction of completing the assignment by herself. By promoting independent learning for Bridgett I would also promote Extrinsic Motivation by rewarding her with a point system allowing her to trade those points in for a reward that she enjoys, for example being the teachers helper, extra computer time or even a no homework pass. As we know extrinsic motivators is a very individual and can vary from student to student. (Lyons, 2011) For my second student I chose Joey. Joey continually talks out of turn loudly and off topic. So, to promote Joey’s Intrinsic Motivation my goal would to be find out his interests and include that in the lessons or activities. By finding out his interests will peak his interest in the lesson this way he is motivated to be engaged and not disrupting the classroom environment with talking. By Joey...

...study, even though their variables might be similar. Scholars argue that a conceptual or theoretical framework always underlies a research study, even if the framework is not articulated.5 This may seem incongruous, because many research problems originate from practical educational or clinical activities. Questions often arise such as “I wonder why such an event did not [or did] happen?” For example, why didn't the residents' test-interpretation skills improve after they were given feedback? There are also occasions when a study is undertaken simply to report or describe an event, e.g., pass rates for women versus men on high-stakes examinations such as the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1. Nevertheless, it is usually possible to construct at least a brief theoretical rationale for the study. The rationale in the USMLE example may be, for instance, about gender equity and bias and why these are important issues. Frameworks are usually more elaborate and detailed when the topics that are being studied have long scholarly histories (e.g., cognition, psychometrics) where active researchers traditionally embed their empirical work in well-established theories.

...International Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2011, 3(2), 411-423 www.iojes.net Pedagogical Competences – The Key to Efficient Education Andreia Irina SUCIU1 and Liliana MÂŢĂ21 Abstract The aim of our study is to provide a holistic representation of pedagogical skills closely related with current approaches in the field of professional competence for the teaching career. The paper covers three dimensions from the perspective of pedagogical competences. The first dimension is on the definition of pedagogical competence. The concept of pedagogical competence tends to be used with the meaning of minimum professional standard, often specified by law, which should raise a person in fulfilling a particular role of the teaching profession. The second dimension is based on representative taxonomies and highlights current pedagogical competences. The taxonomic classification, which we provide below only refers to the basic competences involved in the based role of a teacher to lead one of the educational activities with students. The third dimension is represented by a proposal in a narrow framework of a holistic representation of pedagogical competences for the teaching career. In the holistic view, we delineate two broad categories of pedagogical competences in accord with current approaches: general pedagogical competence and special pedagogical competence. After analyzing the pedagogical competences taxonomies, we obtained a comprehensive and actual representation. This...

...Ethical Implications of Classroom Management 2 There are many things as teachers we have to watch out for when it comes to being good role models for students. The wrong move towards a student can lead to the beginning of a long drawn out process that can get your teaching license revoked, or worse than that jail. Knowing the rights and regulations for student and parent will neglect such things. We as role models have to be careful of the tone we use, grabbing a child, mistreating a child, or even abusing the child. As long as we keep control of the classroom and outside of the classroom none of these things should happen. Unfortunately these things do happen, but if you use the right methods not only as a teacher but human being these things will be after thoughts. An article in The Journal of Education Research, described that aggressive teaching methods have been documented in Israeli, China and Australia. These tactics have made the students distant and have a negative feel for teachers. Some of the things the article talks about are horrible classroom management skills by teachers and disrespectful students. Part of the journal states that “students behaviors are purposeful acts based on their interpretations of school and classroom life, especially their relationships with teachers (Schlosser, 1992). Part of the problem researchers attribute this too is teacher misbehavior. There...

...Learning Needs Assessment Paper Vicky Doss, RN, BSN NUR 588-Developing and Evaluating Educational Programs May 7, 2012 Monie Nuckles, MSN, RN, PhD(c) Learning Needs Assessment Continuing education is of the utmost importance to any organization regardless of type. In order for nurses to remain current and updated within their profession there must be access and motivation to education. Nurses must strive to increase their knowledge base to provide the best and most effective care based on the most recent evidence available. Nurses must have the necessary skills to remain competent in a quickly evolving health care system. “The provision of adequate, suitable, flexible, and quality continuing education that takes into account the needs of the individual nurse can lead to improvements in the quality of nursing care” (Claflin, 2005, p. 263). It is essential to provide the appropriate type of education, depending on the learner’s style in order for nurses to stay informed and adjust to the changes in the healthcare system and provide adequate care for the patients he/she treat. One of the most influential factors in the need for continuing education is the need to make sure that patients are treated in a cost and time effective manner to prevent readmissions and prolonged stays. In order for any of this to be effective, first the learning needs of the staff need to be assessed to discover what is important to them. Performing this needs assessment...

...Albert Einstein. Educational technology is defined by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) as "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources."(Robinson,2007). Further, Educational technology is defined as “the process of integrating technology into education in a positive manner that promotes a more diverse learning environment and a way for students to learn how to use technology as well as their common assignments”. (Benjamin Herold, 2015) defines that “Anything that enhances classroom learning in the utilization of blended or online learning is considered as Education technology” and such technology encompasses Web based Education systems (e-learning, Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), Internet-based training), Computer-Based Training (CBT), Information and communication technology (ICT) in education, Virtual education, Virtual learning environments (VLE) and Learning Management Systems (LMS). Each of these numerous terms has had its advocates, who point up potential distinctive features. (Moorea,2011). The use of...
