...which were extremely important contributors to the cognitive development element to children development psychology. Furthermore to this also evaluate the strong point and weaknesses of each theory and outline how they have been applied to an educational setting. Argument’s raised to understand that in (McGonigal.J.A, 1999) research literature she is able to implement different techniques to get the children to all participate within the assigned classroom activities. This suggests that all children do have a different level of involvement and grasp of attention, from her traditional approach to the lesson, as she states the children’s impact on the lesson that they were uncomfortable with this type of lesson without direction of their worksheets as that is what they were familiar to. She then comprehends that not all students were not engaged so she experimented with the traditional task to something more individual based, the question is that theorist such as Paiget and Vygotsky give us the guidelines of the structure and expedience of a child’s progress but the growth of a child individually can be less likely the same in educational development. There are children that do not suit these methods and from our knowledge should all children be coordinated in a manner where every student in a class room should be given a particular...

...Running head: PSYCOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS: A TASK AT HAND Psychological Underpinning: A Task At Hand Beverly Becnel Grand Canyon University: EDU 313 N February 21, 2012 The task of teaching children comes with many different avenues to choose from, but the avenue we choose is only as good as the way we plan the lesson and the child’s ability to comprehend it. Another notable factor of planning for lessons is the many theories that are available for our use. Because of the fact that children learn and develop at different stages, it is important to evaluate each child and make sure the lessons we are planning to teach is at that child’s level. In order to ensure we have chosen the best pathway for the child’s learning experience it is also important for teachers to make themselves familiar with these theories and discover when and how to use them. One theory I found to be a good resource is Behaviorism which is also known as behavioral psychology; this theory is based on the fact that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. This conditioning can occur with the interaction of the environment. According to this theory behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner regardless of internal mental status (cherry, 2012). The two major types of behaviorism are classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. The classical conditioning theory is based on the act of placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. For example you smell...

...Tracing a Teachers Shadow Shadowing someone is when one is given the opportunity to view another person in their professional setting, preferably one that interests them as a future career. In this shadow project I was assigned to a teacher named Ms. Lazzara. Ms. Lazzara is a first grade teacher at Buffalo Public School 89 also known as Dr. Lydia T. Wright School of Excellence. This school was named after Dr. Lydia T. Wright, the first African American pediatrician in Buffalo. She was also the first African American person to serve on the Buffalo Board of Education from 1962-1967. Although, the Buffalo Public School 89 has a poverty level of ninety-six to ninety-eight percent, mainly consisting of the minority groups, the school’s mission is to develop self-motivated and reflective learners who are capable of doing anything they want to do. This school was designed to believe in having a safe environment for students, differentiating instructions as implemented to ensure the mastery of core subjects, recognizing diversity and value of the individuals, expressing education as a shared responsibility with students, family, and staff, and lastly, the environment in this school will promote student confidence and self-esteem. Receiving this fortunate opportunity at the Buffalo Public School 89 has really helped me to perceive what my future career may appear to be by tracing the steps of a real life teacher. In order for Ms. Lazzara to perform well she needs to comprehend...

This unit aims to explain the reasons people do the things they do when it comes to health and wellbeing. The mind and the body are interlinked, e.g. stress caused by daily hassles or lifestyle can have a detrimental effect on the body’s immune system and can lead to serious illness. Psychologists have given us many ways to explain human behaviour and this unit is designed to enable learners to apply what they have learnt to their own practice; from helping people overcome emotional problems to dealing with challenging behaviours. The knowledge and understanding gained throughout the unit will benefit all those who work with others, be it people who use services, their friends and family, and other professionals. A wide range of perspectives is covered which can then be applied to many different health and social care settings. The behaviourists and social learning theorists can help to explain how health related behaviours are learnt as well as ways to teach new behaviours to people who use services. The humanists, on the other hand, provide us with a set of guidelines for working with...

...Learning with Technology: A Customized Learning Theory Dallas Ventre Liberty University Throughout history, all learning was achieved by reading books and making observations about the world. However, recent technologies have changed the way people think, act, and even learn. Since the beginning of the 21st century, technology has gone beyond word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. Technology now seems to be the dominating factor in everyone’s life, especially students. It is impossible to visit a shopping mall, restaurant, or even school, without seeing someone with their hands and face glued to a smartphone, but we rarely associate technology with learning. However, there are actually a variety of educational apps that can help students practice their skills in areas such as math and reading. Many changes have occurred in the classroom due to technology, including instruction delivery, submission of assignments, and collaboration between students. Teachers and students alike are now members of online communities that allow them to share information via blogs, wikis, social media posts, and more. Google Drive, Facebook, Twitter, and Glogster are just a few examples of hundreds of interactive websites available on the internet. This paper focuses on recent technological advances and how these developments are helping teachers achieve their goal of leading an effective classroom.

...------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Effects of Technology on Education By Anton Lebedev | Submitted On January 22, 2010 4 1 Education has changed significantly in the last twenty years. One of the main reasons education has undergone so many changes is because of technological development. In 1990, computers and other forms of technology served a minimal role in the classroom. Today, many if not most college students attend class with a laptop. I am writing about some of the biggest advantages technology gave to education. Technology has made research much easier. Before online Encyclopedias, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and other online research tools were available, students were forced to spend numerous hours in the library. With the new tools, students can conduct research faster in the comfort of their homes. With Google and other search engines, students can find relevant information faster and more efficiently. Also, there is no more need for intensive memorization as information is more readily available. New also technology allows for a faster, more efficient, and more interactive classroom experience. With Powerpoint presentations and projectors, there is no need for blackboards and whiteboards. With clickers, students can take quizzes during the classroom. These developments also help improve tutoring services. Online tutoring programs are becoming available. One-on-one in-home tutoring programs are also being aided these developments. Tutors...
