Blended learning

sign learning which is a theory proposed by Edward C Tolman in the year 1866-1959. This theory has also been compared to behaviorism and cognitive theory. I will summarize some of the techniques and evidence of Toman’s work. The methods that he used in his experiment and discuss the similarities of his work into a real life situation. In conclusion, I will talk about the results of sign learning and ways to reduce this theory in a real-world situation and how it applies to human’s learning…

The Philosophy of Education “On Education for Children” by Erasmus and “The Education of Children” by Montaigne both authors explore the function education plays in society and present their view on the features which constitute a suitable education. In terms of the role education plays, Erasmus presents education as a way for humans to organise themselves in a way that separates their society from that of the beasts. While animals possess highly developed instincts in order to survive, as a way…

believe that to truly test students fairly on their learning, the tests given must be as diverse and flexible as the students themselves. In education circles today, there is a running debate regarding…

management and my teamwork. “We do not learn from experience. We learn from reflection on experience. Reliving of an experience leads to making connections between information and feelings produced by the experience” (Dewey, 1933). Dewey believes that learning…

same level. The problem with that was that the majority of the students in those classes were as Adrienne Rich would say in her article Claiming an Education, simply receiving an education not claiming one (608). For a person who really cared about learning it was hard to be in the classes with the students who did not care. I remember I would get extremely frustrated with the other students when I would be trying to as a question…

Applying digital games in a classroom environment and using them as teaching tool has been proven to simulate children’s learning according to (Veronica Mason). Rather children wasting their time and brains cells, children should play educational games on applications on phone or Computers in their free time such as word games, Number games and Strategy games. Word games…

As I prepare to graduate, I need to think of life after Olivet. This can be challenging because there are so many areas that interest me in psychology. One thing I am sure of is I want to go to graduate school. During my time as an undergrad, I have taken courses that will help clarify what my interests are and sharpen my skills in those areas of interests. As of now, there are a few options I am considering pursuing. Two of those careers are an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist…

talking aloud and some with presentations. Learning can sometimes be difficult but once you find the best learning strategies to benefit you it can change everything. Malack Mouhammad, author of the poem, the effects of Technology of Child Development, discusses how technology has both changed and improved the learning process. It’s improved the speeds at which you can acquire certain information. But he also goes to explain some other methods of learning that can’t be replaced such as books;…

Reflection Paper for Field Observations My field hours were completed with Mr, Atteberry, a second grade teacher, at G.G.B. Elementary School. Having very little teaching experience in the classroom, this opportunity was very eye-opening for me. I have never worked with young students and I was nervous to meet new people. Luckily, the transition was easier than past class observations. Mr. Atteberry and myself shared very similar ideals and we had a lot in common. It was very beneficial for…

Aha! Paper Coming into this course, I had many preconceived notions as to how reading what taught and how students responded to this instruction. I thought phonics was the key factor to teaching kids how to read, that nonfiction texts were meant solely for higher level reading, reading assignments were best determined based upon reading level only, answering questions after reading was best for comprehension, and that our current academic system fails to actually teach kids how to read.…
