Constructivism (Piaget) -✔✔Leaning result of social interaction, children construct
understanding in context of their activities, early langage is egocentric, brain learns when
ready, progress from concrete to more abstract, from figurative to operative, exploratory,
discovery learning (in classroom) ** learning through hands on experiences. ** Cognitivism
(Piaget) -✔✔Ex: concept maps, trivia style games. Emphasize thinking and problem-
solving. Focuses on understanding mental processes. retrieval practice -✔✔the repeated
retrieval of an item of information from memory. Example: completing quizzes and
answering questions. Without looking at notes. Metacognition -✔✔awareness and
understanding of one's own thought processes. Leopards cannot change its spots -
✔✔Brain is ongoing "lifelong learning". Our minds are rigid and fixed as we age.
Behaviorism -✔✔** rewards and punishment** focuses on observable actions and
responses. Learning science -✔✔Study of how the brain gathers information. Effective
Learning -✔✔Encoding, storage calming, retrieval, and metacognition interact to allow.
executive function -✔✔Enable students to montage time, regulate emotions and make
sound decisions. The brain is a computer -✔✔Brain is far more complex than a computer.
The Myth of Normal -✔✔Challenges the traditional notion that there is a normal/standard
way of learning learning strategies that contribute to long term retention? -✔✔Feedback
and retrieval practice. Cognitive Styles -✔✔the way an individual deals with information
while making decisions cognitive rigidity -✔✔stubbornness or lack of willingness to
consider alternative ways of doing things Neuroplasticity -✔✔the ability for the brain to
adapt and reorganize in response to experiences and learning. feedback-driven
metacognition -✔✔monitor and regulate learning processes to foster greater self-
awareness and learning autonomy Cognition encompass processes? -✔✔Memory,
perception, reasoning, problem-solving and decision making. What parts of the brain are
responsible for memory function and higher cognitive function? -✔✔Hippocampus and
prefrontal cortex.
