Understands the theoretical foundations of how students learn - AnSWeR-a. knows how
knowledge is constructed
b. knows a variety of means by which skills are acquired
c. understands a variety of cognitive processes and how they are developed
Bandura - AnSWeR-social learning theory
social learning theory - AnSWeR-the theory that we learn social behavior by observing and
imitating and by being rewarded or punished
Bruner - AnSWeR-Discovery learning & Constructivism Theory
discovery learning - AnSWeR-Teaching methods that enable students to discover information
by themselves or in groups.
Constructivism - AnSWeR-an extension of symbolic interaction theory which proposes that
reality is what humans cognitively construct it to be
Dewey - AnSWeR-"Learning Through Experience", Project based, free activity, cooperative
learning, teach students how to think for themselves, social success, hands-on activities
Piaget - AnSWeR-stages of cognitive development
Stages of Cognitive Development - AnSWeR-- sensorimotor
,- preoperational
- concrete operational
- formal operational
sensorimotor stage - AnSWeR-in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to about 2 years of age)
during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions and motor
activities
preoperational stage - AnSWeR-in Piaget's theory, the stage (from about 2 to 6 or 7 years of
age) during which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the mental
operations of concrete logic
concrete operational stage - AnSWeR-in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development
(from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which children gain the mental operations that
enable them to think logically about concrete events
formal operational stage - AnSWeR-in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development
(normally beginning about age 12) during which people begin to think logically about abstract
concepts
Vygotsky - AnSWeR-sociocultural theory
sociocultural theory - AnSWeR-the approach that emphasizes how cognitive development
proceeds as a result of social interactions between members of a culture
Kohlberg - AnSWeR-moral development
moral development - AnSWeR-growth in the ability to tell right from wrong, control impulses,
and act ethically
Bloom's Taxonomy - AnSWeR-A system for categorizing levels of abstraction of questions that
commonly occur in educational settings. Includes the following competencies: knowledge,
comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Knowledge in Bloom's Taxonomy - AnSWeR--requires learning information
, -consists of memorizing or identifying facts
-provides the basis for greater understanding
Questions that ask students to define, describe, label, locate, recite, select, memorize,
recognize, name, state, identify, or repeat utilize the knowledge level of Bloom's taxonomy.
comprehension in Bloom's taxonomy - AnSWeR-understanding, translating, summarizing,
demonstrating and discussing
application in Bloom's taxonomy - AnSWeR-using and applying knowledge, using problem-
solving methods, manipulating, designing and experimenting.
analysis in Bloom's taxonomy - AnSWeR-identifying and analyzing patterns, organization of
ideas and recognizing trends
synthesis in Bloom's taxonomy - AnSWeR-using old concepts to create new ideas, design and
invention, composing, imagining and inferring, modifying, predicting and combining
evaluation in Bloom's taxonomy - AnSWeR-assessing theories, comparison of ideas, evaluating
outcomes, solving, judging, recommending and rating.
Metacognition - AnSWeR-awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes.
Schema - AnSWeR-a concept or framework that organizes and interprets information
transfer - AnSWeR-when something that was previously learned facilitates or hinders current
learning; the influence of previously learned information on new situations or tasks.
self-efficacy - AnSWeR-one's sense of competence and effectiveness
self-regulation - AnSWeR-the exercise of voluntary control over the self to bring the self into line
with preferred standards
