[Set #1]/Exam Questions and Answers
Behaviorism teaching/learning - -Focuses on observable behaviors, Teachers
provide explicit instruction, Positive/Negative Reinforcement, Reading is seen
as a set of sequential, discrete skills and sub-skills where each must be
taught and mastered before moving on to the next, Behavior is controlled
extrinsically with rewards and punishments
- Constructivism Learning/Teaching - -Learners are actively engaged in
constructing new knowledge while reflecting on background knowledge
- Schema Theory - -Falls under Constructivism Learning/Teaching where
knowledge is organized into schemas where students assimilate and
accommodate new learning
- Inquiry Learning - -Falls under Constructivism Learning/Teaching where
learning is collaborative; students ask questions, seek information, and
create new knowledge
- Engagement Theory - -Falls under Constructivism Learning/Teaching
where engaged learners are intrinsically motivated, reach higher levels of
achievement, and are confident they will reach their learning goals
- Sociolinguistics learning/teaching - -Teaching where students are
encouraged to talk to classmates and instruction is focused on the zone of
proximal development
- Sociocultural Theory - -Falls under Sociolinguistic Learning/Teaching where
reading and writing are social activities; reflect the culture and community of
learners
- Situated Learning Theory - -Falls under Sociolinguistic Learning/Teaching
where students learn through authentic and meaningful activities within a
community of learners
- Critical Literacy - -Falls under Sociolinguistic Learning/Teaching where
language and literacy are means for social action; students become agents
for social change
- Information Processing Teaching/Learning - -Compares the mind to a
computer, Information moves through processing units from sensory register
to short-term memory to long-term memory, Reading and writing are related
