Three types of research methods used to collect data to form foundation for educational psychology

Types of observation
1. Laboratory

Bandura and Social Learning Theory
Behavior is learned from the environment through the process of observing others
Jerome Bruner
The aim of education should be to create autonomous learning: learning to learn
Bruner's three modes of representation
1. Enactive representation
2. Iconic representation
3. Symbolic representation
Enactive representation
This appears first from 0 to 1 years of age. It involves encoding action based information and storing it in our memory. For example in the form of movement as a muscle memory of baby might remember the action of shaking a rattle
Iconic representation
This up years from age 1 to 6 years. This is where information is stored visually in the form of images such as a mental picture in the mind's eye. For some this is conscious; others say they don't experience. This may explain why, when we are learning a new subject, it is often helpful that diagrams are illustrations to accompany verbal information
Symbolic representation
This develops last from age seven and on words. This is where information is stored in the form of a code or symbol, such as language. This is the most adaptable bowl form of representation, for actions and images have a fix to relation to what they represent. Dog is a symbolic representation of a single class
Spiral curriculum (Bruner)
Curriculum in which a subject matter is presented over a number of grades with increasingly complexity and abstraction
John Dewey
Favored the child center curriculum in which learning came through experience, not rote memorization. The problem solving method and was the preferred approach and motivation was the center of the learning process. The goal of education was to promote individual growth and to prepare the child for full participation in a democratic society.
John Dewey
The child should be viewed as a total organism and that education is most effective when it considers not only the intellectual but also the social, emotional, and physical needs of the child.
Erik Erikson

John Piaget
Review children as active organisms, view child development from perspective of mind he was that cognitive psychologists
Piaget's theory of development represents:
Constructivism
Piaget's four stages

Conservation
Two alike containers A and B contain the same amount of milk: when milk is poured in from container a to a different shape its container C is the amount of milk still the same?
centration
Children only focus on one aspect, ignoring other relevant factors
Concrete operational stage
7 to 11 years, in familiar situations, children are able to form concepts, see relationships, and classify objects, and solve problems
Formal operational stage
11 to adulthood, child is able to think abstractly, consider hypothetical situations, and reason and logically

Blooms taxonomy
A classification of learning objectives within education. It is a multi tiered a model of classifying thinking according to six cognitive levels of complexity
Knowledge: Recalling information.
the lowest level of objectives and blooms hierarchy, knowledge of first two objects and it's such as memorizing math facts are formulas, scientific principles, or verb conjugation.
Comprehension: translating, interpreting, or extrapolating information
comprehension objectives require the students show an understanding of information as well as the ability to use it. Examples include interpreting the meaning of a diagram, graphs, or parable; in fern the principle underlying a science experiment; are predicting what might happen next in the story
Application: using principles or obstructions to solve novel or real life problems
Application objectives require students to use knowledge or principles to solve practical problems. Examples include using geometric principles to figure out how many gallons of water to put into a swimming pool of give and dimensions or using knowledge of the relationship between temperature and pressure to explain why a balloon is larger on a hot day than a cold day
Analysis: breaking down complex information or ideas into simpler parts to understand how the parts relate or are organized
Analysis objectives require students to see the underlying structure of complex information or ideas. Examples of analysis objectives include contrasting school in the United States with education in Japan, understanding how the functions of the carburetor and distributor are placed in an automobile engine, or identifying the main idea of a short story.
Synthesis: the creation of something that did not exist before
When synthesis of objectives involve using skills to create completely new products. Examples include writing a composition, deriving a mathematical will, designing a science experiment to solve a problem, or making up a new sentence in a foreign language.
Evaluation: judging something against a given standard
Evaluation objectives require making value judgments against some criteria under standard. For example, students might be asked to compare the shrink the weaknesses of two home computers in terms of flexibility, power, and available software.
self efficacy
Albert Bandura suggested that self efficacy is a measure of one's own ability to complete tasks and reach goals. It plays a role in how we think, feel, and behave.
The transfer of learning
The application of knowledge acquired in one situation to new situations
Schemata
And mental networks of related concepts that influence understanding of new information; the singular a schema
The schema theory
The theory stating the information is stored and long term memory in schemata, which provide a structure for making sense of new information
Metacognition
Knowledge about one's own learning or about how they learn. It is thinking about thinking.
Metacognitive skills
Magnets for learning, studying, or solving problems.
