Educational Psychology Learning Theories!!
Primary elementary: teach that describing, recalling, guessing, and understanding mean
different things
Upper Elementary/Middle: explain learning process
High: push them to find best learning process
Attracting Student's Attention (IPT) - Visual Signals
Highlighting important words & information
Calling students names randomly to answer questions
Using interesting visual materials
Promoting student curiosity
Avoid Cognitive Overload (IPT) - Too much information at one time
Working memory capacity can become exhausted
Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory of Motivation - Learning from observing the behaviors of
others and observing the consequences of the behaviors of others
Behavioral Learning - Learning is change in observable behavior
Same environment= Same learning experience
Research uses a controlled experiment
Classical Conditioning - unconditioned stimulus and unconditioned response paired together to
create new response
Cognitive Learning - Learning takes places in the mind
Individual Differences construct different understandings
, Wider range of research methods
Introspection, Think-Aloud
3 Metacognition Skills: PME - Planning—How am I going to do this?
Monitoring—How am I doing?
Evaluating—How did the process go? Do I need to change anything?
3 types of memory - Sensory Memory
Short-term Memory/Working Memory
Long-term Memory
4 types of Declarative Knowledge
(SESI) (IPT) - Semantic
Episodic
Schemas
