Behavioral Learning Theory Essay

Statement of Purpose “How do we ask the turtle to trace out a circle? Remember, it only knows how to walk in straight lines and turn around.” Playing with the Logo turtle on screen in sixth grade was my first exposure to computer science. I was immediately fascinated by the idea of approximating a smooth circle with a regular polygon of, say, 360 sides. Staring at the “circle” on screen, I could not quite digest the fact that it was something produced in a fundamentally different way compared to…

Negative Body- Body Image Effects Researchers have long said that because central importance is assigned to media, mass media can foster unrealistic images of female beauty (Perloff, 2014). Internalization of these images are commonly leads to body dysmorphia and dissatisfaction. Internalization of thin-idealized female beauty is a key factor in a culturally stereotyped standard of beauty. This standard is vastly communicated in contemporary media throughout Westernized societies. More than 80%…

The contrast between boys and girls are, as they reach the stage of puberty, females are more likely to mature earlier than the male (Eisenberg et al, 2006, cited in Carlo, 2012:670). In regards to the Social Learning Theory Bandura (1977) stated that humans not only process information but they also use cognitive methods that’s enables them to recognize and interpret behaviour. On the contrary, Skinner reported that the environment has an effect on how others developed…

Case Study Journal Eight This paper will attempt to help Hyun-Ki, who is a fifth grader in a west coast school; furthermore, Hyun-Ki is being bullied by the Peter the class leader. Peter is supposed to be working on a project with him; nevertheless, Peter is nice to Hyun-Ki on the phone and his tormenter in school. The reason Hyun-Ki does not defend himself is due to having a small frame, and he self-conscious about his appearance and his accent. I will attempt to help Hyun-Ki and his family.…

Growing up I never really had a problem when it came to learning. It did not matter what the subject was, I always found a way to learn it. You know at that time of my life, caring about ‘how’ I learned was of no care to me just as long as I received no less than high B as my grade. I recently taken a self-assessment to see what my primary learning style is and the results were unsurprising. At 30% auditory, 35% visual, and 35% for tactile, the self-assessment reveals that I am a…

students across generations experience collegiate learning. To gain a better understanding, I interviewed a college student who is currently in their junior year working towards a bachelor’s of science degree in kinesiology. The student currently attends a large, research, land-grant institution that serves 48,000 students. Comparing my collegiate learning experience with the student, we focused on what learning means to us, how we characterizes our learning process in college, what three…

which are complex. One of which is the way new information is processed in the form of learning. Throughout the years, there were constant challenges experienced between teachers and students which provided a catalyst in the development of a tool by Neil Fleming. He identified four main learning styles Visual, Aural/ Auditory, Read/Write and Kinesthetic (VARK). This was a much needed resource to assist in the learning needs of students, and is still being used by many now. This genius…

Knowledge of learning styles gives insight into training development. Each individual has their own learning style, and these styles shape not only how we absorb new information, but what information format facilitates retention. The results from an online survey showed that my learning styles are highly reflective, moderately intuitive, moderately verbal, and moderately global. (NCSU) The following is a brief summary of each style reflected in my survey results. These styles have many…

EXP 105-Final Assignment The concept of learning is based off a process called the Learning Connections Inventory. The Learning Connections Inventory provides the individual with specific information about their learning process, individual’s actions, and a vocabulary for explaining the specific actions the person takes that results in productive or unproductive learning actions. Within the Learning Connections Inventory, there are four basic learning patterns which are Sequence, Precise,…

Overview This paper is divided into two sections. Section I tells a story about one of the blended learning method that is called “The Flipped Classroom Model” which synthesize several findings from a few related articles (see appendix). Besides, section II of this paper is entitled “Implications for My Teaching Practice”. This section thus will be discussing on how the researchers can incorporate their findings on section I into their own teaching experiences and programmes in the future.…
