Unconsciously learning new things from peers

Individual

Learning at their own pace and skill level rather than staying at a general level.

What is "True Literacy"

ProjectWall — 2014-11-24 23:56:57 UTC

Wikipedia's definition of Literacy is the ability to read and write, and develop those skills, however "True Literacy" is having the ability to analyze, and understand the ideas and terms within

a text.

USE IT, or lose it

ProjectWall — 2014-11-25 00:01:12 UTC

People who read 4 times a week,

or write atleast 5 times a week generally have

higher literacy rate (3.7% Higher!)

Applying the Use it Or Lose it Theory to Elementary Students

ProjectWall — 2014-11-25 00:03:29 UTC

Since elementary students are still in their developing stages,

would encouraging children to read and write about 4-5 times

a week at an early age have a higher increase on their literacy rates?

Emerging Literacy

ProjectWall — 2014-11-25 00:08:45 UTC

The Gradual process of learning to understand and use language that begins at birth and continues though early childhood years (grade 3).

Children surrounded by language from birth becomes fluent speakers at age of 3, regardless of intelligence.

hey make language discoveries as they play, explore, and interact with each other

The Types of Literacy

-Prose Literacy

-Document Literacy

-Quantitative Literacy

Literacy Scale

Motivation

Are all the students in the group motivated to read/write? When one student loses focus, so will the person next to them.

Transfer Efficiency

ProjectWall — 2014-11-25 00:39:48 UTC

Group members can process information and construct higher quality schemata in long term memory compared the those working individually because they are sharing cognitive load.

Pace

raesa_fida101 — 2014-11-26 01:04:01 UTC

At there own pace the student has a better understanding of the concept and is highly learned-centred when working individually

Individual

Student have there own learning styles, cognitive styles, psychological type, or multiple intelligence.

Students can learn from each other

When students are told to do an assignment, to read, or to come up with solutions, they would often learn more from each other by sharing their knowledge to figure things out, rather than constantly relying on their teachers. This also helps a student learn to use the resources they have around them.

Learning from others

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 01:39:02 UTC

"When students are trying to explain things to each other, to argue for an answer, or to justify a conclusion, that interaction clarifies their own thinking and often it clarifies the thinking of other students. "

Constructive Discussions

annouckaman — 2014-11-26 14:06:21 UTC

Through constructive discussions, students can improve their vocabulary, and improve the way they think because their peers may have a different perspective on things, and when learning from each other, it would give them a wider understanding of things.

Support and Motivation

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:17:58 UTC

In groups, students learn to support each other, and motivate each other to accomplish a task on time or together, whether it is reading, writing, or any assignments, which can make the students more interested in the work.

Interest in Developing skills

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:20:55 UTC

Interest in reading/writing, or any other task would lead to students wanting to spend their own time improving on these skills

Developing understanding skills

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:23:31 UTC

Individual can learn how to break down work within a group assignment, and that becomes a skill that they develop, which could help them understand other things like a text, by breaking information down to understand it better.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Group Work

Connections

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:31:55 UTC

When group members have a discussion together, they often relate things to their experiences, which shows connection. This can help students develop their connection skills, so when they reading or writing something in their daily lives, they can easily make connections and thus, have a better understanding of when they are looking at.

Ideas

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:41:50 UTC

More connections to the text will give more ideas to students when they are

Less distraction

raesa_fida101 — 2014-11-26 14:42:58 UTC

The student will be able to focus on their work, without being interrupted by their peers.

Learning individually will help students be more focused on their learning.

More ideas = more connections.

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:43:27 UTC

putting two ideas together will lead to a whole new conclusion and discussion. This will give more understanding on the text.

Express Ideas

ProjectWall — 2014-11-26 14:54:54 UTC

Some students find it easier to express themselves when they are in a group because their are constant ideas flowing around.

This is helpful in writing because students will

Time

raesa_fida101 — 2014-11-26 15:15:42 UTC

If students are given time to prepare an answer rather than being obliged to provide immediate responses, they are more likely to produce a considered response and likely to benefit from the time spent working out an appropriate answer.

Group work dons't always work

annouckaman — 2014-11-26 23:51:29 UTC

Some students don’t know how to work in groups and sometimes don't learn anything. If this happens to often the student may prefer to work by themselves. That is also why students have a negative attitude towards group work.

Diffrent Approach

annouckaman — 2014-11-27 00:24:20 UTC

When working in groups the student(s) must learn to take new approaches to resolving differences for everyone is not going to agree with one another. They must learn to lesson then speak and allow everyone to express themselves to a respectable point. This can help them learn to try and take challenges for different approaches and there is always more than one way to do something.

Held Accountable

annouckaman — 2014-11-27 00:29:04 UTC

Group projects can help a student learn the impotents holding their word and doing what they say they will do. For the student is go to be held accountable to their word/action and this can teach them/get them in the habit of finishing/doing what they said.

Not enough work to go around

annouckaman — 2014-11-27 00:42:56 UTC

When doing group work the teacher or students are picking their groups, they must be careful not to have too many heads/partners in the group. For having too many students in a group can take rather purpose out, so instead of contributing ideas, making connection and improving group and communication skills. It can make the student(s) fell that they are a “third wheel”/ don’t feel that they are helping. And this can lead to the student decreasing/lacking in the experience and greatly impact the student’s learning. The same effect can happen even when there is a good number but a student in takes to much control and takes on most of the work.
