Forum B unit 3 - “The First Five Minutes”

How important are the first five minutes of the class?
The first five minutes of the class are as important as the first impression one must leave during a job interview (you only get one shot at it). Those first minutes are crucial because it is during those first five minutes, or so, that teacher and students connect. What message and impression is passed on to the students by the teacher may very well determine the outcome of the lesson to be presented, as well as the attitude and behavior of the students.

Do you agree with the author´s view?
I agree with the author's views overall, with the exception of his choice of penalty. The teacher must be very careful and have a clear understanding of

    Punishment doesn’t means no learning, instead a person does learn something and as a result, it would decrease the likelihood of a behavior, and also is most effective if it is delivered immediately after the unwanted behavior. Skinner’s position was called radical behaviorism and the supporters of radical behaviorism argued that his theory was misunderstood and misrepresented; a concept that uses human cognitive ability can be found in creatures by using experimentation.

Society had been become so “whitewashed” throughout time that if you were any other race you were basically invisible in work and society besides with your own group of people.

    My level of concern about privacy when it comes to my location and whereabouts would rank as a 7 for me on a scale of 1 to 10. I am uncomfortable with my location being tracked, but I do not think that the people with access to it would use it maliciously. I assume that the people who could possibly have access to this information would be my cell service provider and the makers of apps on my phone. I think that apps should be allowed to use this information if it provides for a better experience, such as using google maps to get accurate directions. However, I would like to block most apps and my service provider from accessing my location.…

However, as focusing on the past are not the salient points for behavioral approach, our goal here is to teach Juno to eliminate unwanted behaviors and learn new behaviors that most possibly can overcome his social anxiety disorder. In a way, he learned those certain types of inappropriate behaviors, so it is possible to learn new behaviors to decrease his inappropriate behaviors and to increase his appropriate behaviors.

    The classroom setting is for, four-year-old preschool aged children. The idea behind the preschool comes from Piaget’s theory that children learn by a process of adaptation, assimilation, and then accommodation. During the first step, they interpret new stimulation in ways that fit with what they already know. As the new information assimilates, the existing knowledge modifies and creates a better match. Lastly, the child’s understanding gradually changes from the interaction with the environment.…

    Student ID tracking is a good idea. This way, you can know if the students are going to places they shouldn’t, and they need to be in the right places to learn. Other than that, the school can get funding otherwise missed out on, and funding for schools is very important. Also, if there’s a fire and a student is missing, you will be able to find them far faster if you know where they are with the tracking IDs. First of all, you can use this to make sure all of the students are where they need to be, when they need to be there.…

    The concept of education is how to learn, understand material, and knowledge that is taken in. Through education certain values and beliefs are developed. These beliefs, habits, and skills shape a student’s character. There are two controlling factors that come into play when discussing the concept of education; one is the teacher and the other is the student. As illustrated in Richard Feynman’s article, “O Americano Outra Vez,” a student’s learning focus is overwhelmingly influenced by the teaching style they are subject too.…

    Theorists That which follows are brief descriptions of eleven theorists whose works have influence classroom discipline practices. The kinds of thinking they represent was a departure from earlier, less thoughtful approaches. Each theorist offers a unique perspective on human behavior and the role of punishment in a classroom.

    The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in challenging behaviors are removed from the learning environment. This is not helpful because the function of this behavior is avoidance and so the behavior is successful from the student’s perspective.…

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…
