Understanding is changed by the addition of new knowledge and schemata are rearranged. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Assessment as development.
Behaviour is related to self-concept.]]> 2021-01-26 13:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126702611 https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126721230 project-based learning.

Teachers act more like mentors, counsellors, or "spiritual midwives" - Van der STOK, Hans. Adolescence.

Everyone's models are different.
Learning happens when new information is added to our schemata - this usually happens through connections with other people (Vygotsky and dialogue).

All learning is situated in context. Learning happens best when learners are engaged in 'authentic' tasks.]]> 2021-01-26 14:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126740843 Other than tech? https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126748960 It wasn't completely clear to me how this differed as a learning theory. Why exactly could a cognitivist or constructivist not embrace the use of technology within their learning theory?

Learning for intrinsic reasons
Self-assessment is more important than external validation]]> 2021-01-26 14:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126764141 This seems really demanding https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1126775916 A lot of the humanist ideals seem difficult to implement in large classrooms, difficult to assess fairly on a large scale and generally quite practically challenging.

Those connections allow learners to develop decision making skills and accept that learning & knowledge rests in the diversity of opinion. https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1141171661 2021-01-29 15:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mwiltshire1/uzait0fwxnygv1aj/wish/1141171661 You can look back and identify where learning stopped.
