Piaget ✔️Believed we learn from interaction with peers and environment
Preconventional ✔️All about me
Conventional ✔️All about rules or laws
Postconventional ✔️All about others
Kohlberg ✔️Stages of Moral Development- Preconventional, Conventional, Postconventional
Chomsky ✔️Theory of Universal Grammar- Innate/Biological
Babbling- 6 to 8 months ✔️Consonant-vowel combinations (ba-ba, ma-ma)
Holophrastic- 9 to 18 months ✔️Single words represent a sentence (up, juice, mine)

early multiword stage
Later multiword stage- 30+ months ✔️5+ word sentences, fastest vocabulary increase. Sentences formed with improving grammar, structure
Skinner ✔️Operant conditioning and language development- children learn language based on reinforcement
Operant Conditioning and Language Development ✔️Children learn language based on reinforcement, learn language through imitating,
prompting, shaping, they associate words with meanings, correct utterances are positively reinforced- Skinner

Thurnstone ✔️7 factor intelligence
Sternberg ✔️successful intelligence
Gardner ✔️Multiple intelligences
Behavioral theory ✔️teacher directed, basic skills, direct instruction, immediate feedback & correction, reinforcement- positive/negative,
punishment- time-out, shaping, token economy, computer-based tutorials
Constructivist Theory ✔️Student-centered, building knowledge, lego builders, build schema- student constructs own knowledge, real world,
learn from others, scaffolding, ZPD, project based learning, virtual learning
Cooperative Collaborative Theory ✔️learning together, social butterflies, interacting, mixed groups, encourage each other, individual
accountability, equal opportunity for success, model social behaviors
Information-processing/Social Cognitive ✔️Memory, metacognitive knowledge, sensory register, working memory, Self-regulation/control,
modeling, attention getting devices, chunking, concept mapping
Humanistic ✔️Feelings, emotions, self-perception, motivation, safe-welcoming environment, growth needs, student choice, creative learning
Formative Assessment ✔️Check FOR learning- progress, occurs during instruction, provides feedback to determine student learning and inform
instruction and reteaching
Summative Assessment ✔️Sum OF learning- focus is on outcome of learning or result, occurs after instruction, provides grades, measures overall
student achievement
