...student centered. In Teacher-Centered Approach to Learning, Teachers are the main authority figure in this model. Students are viewed as “empty vessels” whose primary role is to passively receive information (via lectures and direct instruction) with an end goal of testing and assessment. It is the primary role of teachers to pass knowledge and information onto their students. In this model, teaching and assessment are viewed as two separate entities. Student learning is measured through objectively scored tests and assessments.[2] In Student-Centered Approach to Learning, while teachers are an authority figure in this model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process. The teacher’s primary role is to coach and facilitate student learning and overall comprehension of material. Student learning is measured through both formal and informal forms of assessment, including group projects, student portfolios, and...

...WEEK 10, Discussion Question 1: “Transshipment Problems” Can we apply transshipment models to inventory applications? Why or why not? Is the transportation model an example of decision making under certainty or decision making under uncertainty? Why? Can we apply transshipment models to inventory applications? Why or why not? Yes, transshipment models can be applied to inventory applications. This will ensure lower costs through proper management and disbursement of the inventory while providing faster response times. The inventory levels can be managed by location in order to ensure minimal levels and the shipping will occur for less cost and faster service due to inventory placement within regions (Taylor III, 2011). Is the transportation model an example of decision making under certainty or decision making under uncertainty? Why? The transportation model is an example of decision making under certainty. The data, in this case the route and items, has to be known in order for the decision making to be determined under certainty (Taylor III, 2011). Explain the assignment model and how it facilitates in solving transportation problems. What benefits would be gained from using this model? 2ND RESPONSE Can we apply transshipment models to inventory applications? Why or why not? Yes, it does seem that transshipment models can be applied to inventory applications. Inventory applications deal with transporting goods to different destinations just like the transshipment...

...Erika Velez Georgina Ruff IDS 121.32 Research Paper Habermas defined the public sphere as a virtual or imaginary community that does not exist in any particular space, it is made up of individual people gathered together as a public and expressing their thoughts. Through the discussion, the public sphere produces opinions and attitudes that are made to agree or disagree with a particular piece[1]. Tree Huts (2008) and Under the Water (2011) by Tadashi Kawamata are works of site-specific “public sphere” art that promote the reuse of supplies to help conserve the environment which would facilitate a thriving discussion in future classes, and therefore be included in future curriculum. Tadashi Kawamata constructs architecture in urban spaces with recycled materials such as timber, cardboard boxes, old newspapers and vegetable crates. Born in 1953 and a graduate from the University of Fine Arts in Tokyo, Tadashi has had many experiences throughout his life working with various venues of art, but making works that intend to link the exterior and interior architectural aspects of the urban work places has always been something that interested Tadashi Kawamata[2]. In 2011, Tadashi Kawamata produced his work Under the Water, which was made out of old doors and reclaimed wood bits and parts. The inspiration behind this work was the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011[3]. Placed throughout a gallery and also through the outside corridors...

...for educational purposes can be beneficial for every student like us because we or they can use it in multiple ways. First is social media enhances peer interactions which establish an open lines or communication between the learners and teachers. Second is that it facilitates knowledge that is being transferred between the students and creates a deeper sense of understanding about the certain topic. According to the theory of Vygotsky which he is best known is called the Zone of Proximal Development. In this concept, it says that with the help of teachers, adults or even children who are more advanced than the other children, students can master the ideas and concepts that they cannot understand on their own. Social media also supports collaborative learning mainly for students because it characterized students’ interactions and connection with the course content. Since there is a portion of student that learning occurs within the confines of classroom only social media provides an opportunity for students to expand their learning environment. But as a teacher or a facilitator of learning it is their responsibility to find ways on how they can incorporate social media into their classroom mainly in their discussion in a correct way or should maximize the use of it. Also through the help of teachers, social media can develop the creativity of students by encouraging them to explore the course content in new ways and develop new knowledge. Thus, the active establishment and engagement...

...perception of the environment. Learning Team A (Teri Abshier, Melissa McCullar, and Lupe Contreras) discussed their personal comfort levels of learning in environments with different levels of auditory stimuli. Through this discussion, Learning Team A concluded that it was easier for them to learn in an environment with little to no outside auditory stimuli as opposed to a noisy environment. Increases in auditory stimuli can cause divided attention, which is not typically conducive to learning and memory retention. The threshold for auditory stimuli is defined as the slightest perceptible sound (American Psychological Association, 2009). Dichotic listening, also known as the “Cocktail Party Effect”, is the ability to focus on the auditory input in one ear while ignoring extraneous environmental auditory input. Initially, researchers thought that the extraneous input was not learned. However, further research showed that the peripheral input cannot be completely ignored and is stored in memory, although usually very weakly. Because the brain senses and perceives the additional auditory stimuli, it is more difficult to give full attention to the intended task (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). Learning Team A met at a fairly busy coffee shop. For the purposes of this discussion, the coffee shop was considered a moderately noisy environment. All team members felt moderately comfortable with learning in this environment, but agreed that an environment with lower levels of auditory stimuli, such...

...Question or Problem The purpose of this article was to identify the different arguments made in regards to the use of animals in behavioral and biomedical research and the benefits of facilitating classroom room discussions amongst psychology students concerning this controversial topic. 2. Introduction Herzog H.A, (1990) believed that since the publishing of Singer’s book, Animal Liberations, in 1975, public concern over the ethical treatment of animals has significantly risen (p. 90). According to Rollin (1981, as cited by Harold, 1990) experimental psychology was “the field most consistently guilty of mindless activities that results in great suffering.” This debate has caused psychology students to question the use of animals in behavioral research. According to this article there are three reasons why discussing animal rights is crucial to psychology students. First, students should be conscious of political and social concerns associated with psychology that could have an effect on their lives. Second, animal rights issues raise questions related to psychology such as, “can animals think?” or “What are the essential differences between humans and animals?” Third, the use of animals in laboratory courses has received lots of censure (p. 90). To facilitate students to think about these issues, the author has designed a classroom exercise that has students making decisions about whether or not a series of theoretical proposals, pertaining to animal research, should...
