The idea is a specific stimulus will automatically result in the final result. There are 3 stages of learning: cognitive stage, associative stage, and an automatic stage. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245042055 mmmcconnell https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245050169 The first stage is the cognitive stage. During this stage, the skill to be learned is presented. The second stage is associative stage. During this stage, learners become more proficient in what they are doing. The last stage is the automatic stage. During this stage, the skill becomes automatic as they continue to practice. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245050169 mmmcconnell https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245061499 Terminal Objectives are determined by society. This becomes the educators job to discover what the objectives are. This leaves educators to determine the needs of society and the products that fulfill those needs (Schiro). The progressive objective is the second objective. According to Schiro, "society specifies the desired product of the schools, it is the educators who determine the most efficient way of producing it." ]]> 2018-03-22 15:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245061499 mmmcconnell https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245074985 The goal of educating students in the Social Efficiency Ideology is to increase the purpose of society and prepare the student to lead a productive life as an adult. It was effective in a time society needed specific people for specific trades instead of filling students with information they would never use again. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245074985 mmmcconnell https://padlet.com/mmmcconnell/ek2525yl81z2/wish/245090141 With the push on higher academics in the last couple of decades, will we possibly see a shift in back to Social Efficiency and teaching to specific trades?

Would we as teachers see a shift in student achievement if we based grades off standards instead of grades? 

In teaching, have we lost how to teach students and still help create productive members of society and possibly breaking the cycle?
