Question

Reversibility

Answer 1

Cant understand that certain proccesses can be undone

Answer 2

- Teacher & Student both play an equal key role in learning - Has many manipulatives and materials - Learning is based on what students know; teachers pursue interests and questions - Teacher scaffolds and provides hands-on opportunities - Children are first introduced to the concept as a whole, then it is broken down into parts - Children engage in collaborative learning

Answer 3

- The ZPD is the space between what a learner can do independently and what they can do with assistance from a more knowledgeable other. The learner builds on what they already know to learn new information using socialization. The ZPD is crucial for designing instruction because information is modeled and scaffolded. By implementing this into instruction, teachers tap into where the individual student is.

Answer 4

1. Modeling+Scaffolding: when some form of guidance is provided by an adult during instructional or joint problem solving. When modeling, the adult will demonstrate how to do something, so the child can imitate it to learn. 2. Apprenticeship: one-to-one mentorship where a student is given instruction 3. Dialogue: Vygotsky mentioned the dialogic nature of all learning 4. Internalization: the child imitates, practices, and internalizes key concepts of interactions 5. Existence of ZPD

Answer 5

- Emphasizes the 6 hierarchical levels of cognitive processing. Progresses from less to more complex levels of abstract thinking. Teachers can use this to logically plan objectives for specific grade levels and plan progressively more complex instruction and assessments. This allows for instruction to be aligned with objectives based on what you want the students to learn or gain from the lesson. Scenario Start off with having students memorize the names of the phases of mitosis, then progress to gradually more complex tasks such as explaining the phases, giving an example, comparing and contrasting different processes, to then creating their own diagram.

Answer 6

- Use students' multiple intelligences as a pathway into learning (utilize different entry points into a topic/lesson) - Gives students flexible opportunities to convey and express what they have learned - By presenting different ways of learning, students are more likely to remember the content How ML theory can be applied in a classroom: - Providing a range of ways to teach, including the arts, body movement, logical thinking, etc, in teaching a lesson so that students get a variety of ways to think about the information

Answer 7

- the narrow-minded viewpoint commonly associated with learning styles. He states that there is truth to some people having stronger ways of learning, yet it is more dependent on the content than the individual student. This means when delivering instruction, it is important to target all these areas (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) because all students will benefit from a range of methods. He shares that most learning is meaning-based, and the personal meaning of something is entirely independent of how you constructed the meaning. I would apply this theory in the classroom by having an open mind with all my students, and not boxing them in. For example, not all visual learners will benefit from visual diagrams in all contexts.

Answer 8

Continuously monitor, assess, and understand students' existing knowledge Challenge existing ideas and create hands-on/engaging learning opportunities. Teachers recognize that learning must occur in context, so activities must be authentic and mirror real-world situations. Teachers utilize the zone of proximal development, and are aware of what their students are capable of, and what is currently out of reach. The teacher acts as a facilitator or guide, and students and teachers share authority. They also use this to pair a more knowledgeable other with students to enhance their learning (forming heterogeneous learning groups). Promote learning through social interaction and ask thought-provoking questions. c.This philosophy is different from objectivism/behaviorism because objectivism has teacher-centered implications for the classroom. It is believed that the instructor plays a more vital role in passing knowledge to the learners. In contrast, constructivism places more emphasis on the learner constructing knowledge and meaning through their own experiences and by building on and reconstruing schemas. This puts a more student-centered focus in the classroom.
