AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔learning strategies - ✔✔instructional methodologies focusing on teaching students
how to learn; designed to assist students in becoming more actively engaged and
involved in their own learning
✔✔discovery learning - ✔✔Approach to instruction in which students develop an
understanding of a topic through firsthand interaction with the environment.
✔✔Self-Directed Learning - ✔✔a style of learning in which the student takes the
responsibility or initiative for his or her learning
✔✔elaboration - ✔✔Encoding in transferring information from working memory to long
term memory
✔✔information processing theory - ✔✔a perspective that compares human thinking
processes, by analogy, to computer analysis of data, including sensory input,
connections, stored memories, and output
✔✔Bloom's Revised Taxonomy - ✔✔remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing,
evaluating, creating
✔✔Mental schemes (Piaget) - ✔✔organizing experiences into concepts, based on
existing knowledge
✔✔Direct Instruction - ✔✔The teacher defines and teaches a concept, guides students
through its application, and arranges for extended guided practice until mastery is
achieved.
✔✔operant conditioning - ✔✔a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if
followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher
✔✔classical conditioning - ✔✔a type of learning in which one learns to link two or more
stimuli and anticipate events
✔✔formal operational stage - ✔✔in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive development
(normally beginning about age 12) during which people begin to think logically about
abstract concepts
✔✔Identity vs. Role Confusion (Adolescence) - ✔✔Adolescents develop a sense of
identity by experimenting with different roles. No role experimentation may result in role
confusion.
, ✔✔Classification - ✔✔The process of grouping things based on their similarities
✔✔Reversibility - ✔✔principle that objects can be changed, but then returned back to
their original form or condition
✔✔concrete operational stage - ✔✔in Piaget's theory, the stage of cognitive
development (from about 6 or 7 to 11 years of age) during which children gain the
mental operations that enable them to think logically about concrete events
✔✔Industry vs. Inferiority (Erikson) - ✔✔6-12 yrs, good: competence, exercise his/her
abilities and intelligence in the world, be able to affect world in the way that the child
desires bad: inadequacy, low self esteem
✔✔conservation - ✔✔the principle (which Piaget believed to be a part of concrete
operational reasoning) that properties such as mass, volume, and number remain the
same despite changes in the forms of objects
✔✔Scaffolding (Vygotsky) - ✔✔support of learning allows students to complete tasks
they are not able to complete independently
✔✔preoperational stage - ✔✔in Piaget's theory, the stage (from about 2 to 6 or 7 years
of age) during which a child learns to use language but does not yet comprehend the
mental operations of concrete logic
✔✔Initiative vs. Guilt - ✔✔Erikson's third stage in which the child finds independence in
planning, playing and other activities
✔✔fine motor skills - ✔✔physical abilities involving small body movements, especially of
the hands and fingers, such as drawing and picking up a coin
✔✔Sensory exploration - ✔✔involves activities that engage the senses—touch, sight,
hearing, smell, and taste—helping children explore and understand the world around
them
✔✔Trust vs. Mistrust (Erikson) - ✔✔0-1 years. Erikson's first stage during the first year
of life, infants learn to trust when they are cared for in a consistent warm manner
✔✔object permanence - ✔✔the awareness that things continue to exist even when not
perceived
✔✔sensorimotor stage - ✔✔in Piaget's theory, the stage (from birth to about 2 years of
age) during which infants know the world mostly in terms of their sensory impressions
and motor activities
