schemas. When cognitive structures are underdeveloped, learning is difficult, if not impossible. With effective cognitive structures, even hesitant students can initiate their own learning (Garner, 2008). Piaget believes that learning is built through experience. Individuals understand by establishing their own information. According to Shelton, Satwicz, and Caswell (2013),…

only for creating real life situations, but to also motivate all students within your classroom to engage and actively participate. Linking their interests and hobbies with lessons creates a greater opportunity for students to be an active participant in their own learning and encourages curiosity, which can develop intrinsic motivation. Matt DeLong and Dale Winter (2002) referred to intrinsic motivation as a student’s ability to create a fascination with the subject at hand, understand or sense…

identity, or create social bonds. Memory makes us. Memory makes and shapes our daily lives. However, King discusses the importance of keeping the mind active in order to reduce cognitive decline. King suggests that being mentally active and learning new skills is speculated to lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease (238). By performing new tasks and learning new skills, the brain is forced to focus more than it would on a task in which you have already mastered. In essence, acquiring new…

model of teaching can be used with learners with and without special needs and has been used fruitfully with adults as well as with learners as young as five (Agran et al., 2000; Palmer & Wehmeyer, 2003). There are three stages in the Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction; each stage provides a problem for the learner to solve. Learners solve these problems by responding to four questions for each stage. Stage one call for the learner to identify a goal. Learners accomplish this by…

individualized importance through picking helpers follows standard 1 of the NAEYC, allowing everyone to feel they have an importance in the classroom community. Furthermore, the teacher appears to have a strong sense of knowledge that children are social, active learners by the number of physical, hands on activities she uses to teach and engage the children, which also allows for the building of positive relationships, standard 1. For instance, rather than keeping the children sitting down the…

(Vygotsky 1978) We learn best when there is a strong team work culture between students and their learning environment. Learning online offers the added ability to to obtain a greater resource through the online forums and discuss with other students and research the subjects. As a student I have deadlines that I need to be aware of, how I am learning? And am getting the most benefits from the learning? and how to approach the information and to be aware of my strengths and weakness, I need to…

“In keeping healthy and strong, can someone tell me how many minutes a day do we need to be active?” If no one has the answer, then provide a few times & allow the students to take a guess (i.e. 10 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes). To keep you guys active, healthy and strong you need to be active for 60 minutes a day. Studies have concluded that being active for about 60 minutes a day can boost your academic performance, increase concentration & allow better focus…

Clinical Summary in Simulation Center Simulation is an effective teaching strategy that engages students’ critical thinking skills with use of low to high-fidelity mannequin (Billings & Halstead, 2012). Learning how to connect theory and practice in a simulated environment encourages students in competency of psychomotor skills, communication with a collaborative team, and confidence level. As I participated in the clinical simulation environment there were different themes including teaching…

According to the learning styles inventory that I had taken in class, my results were visual. Since I am a visual learner, I use my note cards to study for my upcoming tests and quizzes. I was able to make a higher grade score. Everyone has different ways of learning, they learn better when using visual aids, audio, or tactile methods. The Learning Styles can help an individual to be more successful along with their schoolwork. This…
