Skinner mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460461028 Started in the Early 1900s. This theory is outlined as a process of "Conditioning" where students are rewarded for good behavior, or punished for unwanted behavior. An example would be when students get compliments from other school employees on their behavior in line walking down the hallways, they get a point. After so many points, the class celebrates with an ice cream party. ]]> 2023-01-29 18:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460461028 Knowledge Through Experiences mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460467146 Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, the theory of Constructivism began engaging students. The student's experiences is the base for this theory. Student's knowledge combined with different situations, their reality, interractions with others, what they do and how they apply it to real life are what make this theory interesting an interractive. An example would be a hands-on science experiment where the students work together planting flowers, watching them grow, then interpreting and documenting their experiences.]]> 2023-01-29 18:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460467146 Different Learning Styles mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460477544 The Experiental Learning Cycle explains each stage of learning as new information is processed, developed, and utilized for students. This diverse way of learning engages all types of learners with different activities for reinforcing subjects. Understanding each student's learning style and addressing it creates equal learning opportunities and a deeper understanding of subjects. An example would be teaching a math concept in several different ways. Writing it on the board, having students write it themselves on a white board, working individually one on one with students on the problem, having students solve problems on their own, complete worksheets, and answer questions about the problem in a discussion with the class.]]> 2023-01-29 18:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460477544 Different Minds and Intelligences mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460487351 Created in 1983 by Howard Garder, this learning theory includes various learning materials are used to reach students with all types intelligence. These include:
1. Logical-Mathematical

2. Linguistic

3. Spatial

4. Musical

5. Bodily-kinesthetic

6. Interpersonal

7. Intrapersonal
8. Existential
9. Naturalist
Using different methods of teaching to ensure students of every intelligence are grasping concepts will not only keep students engaged, but get their interest in subjects to continue after the lesson. Students working together using song and dance moves with signs for a group performance would be an example of addressing several different intelligences.

Being involved in the the learning activities are imperative for students. Applying what they know as they continue lessons builds a stronger learning experience. However, this is not a solo operation. Being within their own communities strengthens the student's bond with others an involves them in the real world, creating meaningful learning. An example would be having students get involved in neighborhood clean up activities like getting together with volunteers in the community to clean up a public park. Students create relationships and see how important it is to care for their environment.

Problem solving using modern technology on different subjects can create active learners that use critical thinking and build skills in many different areas. On example would be having students choose a topic, research and write a report on it, including interviews with real individuals.

(Madsen & Wilson, 2012; Sharp, 2012)

In the Humanism Theory the student is looked at as more than just a learner. The whole person is considered, including feelings, interests, goals and individualism. Through this approach teachers are more empathetic, as they assist students on their path to self-actualization. One way teachers can practice Humanism is to get to know their students on a more personal level, find out what they are passionate about and create and encourage optimal learning situations for their students to flourish and grow as a person.]]> 2023-01-29 22:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460610069 Committed to Memory mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460616454 Retaining and being able to recall information that is learned is the highlight of Cognitivism. Learning is successful when students can remember concepts and perform accurately with the use of testing. This concept is centered around having a teacher working directly with students. For example, if a student scores well on a test that included information from a previous unit, the student is achieving the goal in this learning process.]]> 2023-01-29 22:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460616454 Knowledge and Meaningful Interactions mysavannahf https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460622872 Interactions with others, previous knowledge, and the ability to build on that knowledge brings us to Constructivism. Teachers guide students through new lessons and continue to increase what the students already know. Creating group activities where students can work and share together about the material after a lesson is taught is an example of how to bring Constructivism into the classroom.

Language, social settings, culture, family, friends, and other adults all have influence on how a student learns. In the classroom, an example would be how a teacher speaks to their students, is respectful and demonstrates how students not only talk to their teacher, but how they should speak to each other and others in the school environment.]]> 2023-01-29 23:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mysavannahf/sqm6gi6tvps5subo/wish/2460627422
