Educational stage

Critical Reflections 1. Reflection/Differentiation 1. When completing other practicum experiences at university I realised there is so much information to be absorbed from the classroom experience. I realised the importance of documenting throughout the practicum experience drawing special attention to key strategies or methods which may be beneficial to me in the future. Research suggests that reflective methods such as journaling, role modelling, use of questions, and critical incidents help…

Introduction Educational research today is mainly conducted at the University level and many of the valuable studies and research occasionally makes it to the classroom in which the teacher might be able to utilize with their students (Diana, 2011). This occurs for the reasons that educational researchers overlook the realities of the current classroom, fail to create research results into practical solutions for the classroom teacher and students, and the research is conducted without the…

structure was designed like a pyramid with evaluation at the top and knowledge on the bottom to stand as the foundation. Bloom's Taxonomy is no foreign in our classrooms today. Kolb Model According to David Kolb, the learning cycle consists of four stages: experiencing, reflecting, thinking and acting. The learner experiences the material reflects on its outcome, think about or assimilates the information and finally acts on the information. Acting can lead to experiencing, which starts the…

required textbook, The Life Span: Human Development for Helping Professionals by Broederick and Blewitt (2015) how humans grow and develop in all aspects of their life, what factors affect their growth and development, and how to support them in all stages of their development. My weekly application assignments provided me with opportunities to apply in various scenarios my knowledge and skills related to learner development and individual learning differences. Weekly scenarios involved the…

The relationship of self-beliefs to motivation and performance in academic settings is well documented (). In addition, a growing body of research has evidenced the role of adult learning in contributing to changes in academic and global…

current tasks. A constantly growing theoretical framework has developed research concerning the cognitive and neural basis of the phenomenon by introducing reliable experimental procedures (Smallwood, 2013). The experimental procedures have tested educational contexts for clear demonstration of the impact mind wandering has on learning in higher education (Dunlosky et al., 2013). It has been estimated that this failure of cognitive control occurs during 50% of our waking hours (Killingsworth &…

different idea of what being intelligent actually meant. In fact, he states that there are multiple types of intelligence that one can have. His works shows that children are not at the same stage intelligence wise, which challenged the work of Piaget. Gardner used his work to show that educators should integrate educational theories, teaching strategies, and other pedagogic tools in meaningful and useful ways to better address the needs of students. Traditional intelligence has been tested for…

and a frustrating process, often taking months. Within this time period, the child could potentially be falling further behind in their vital early learning. A parent’s first step should be to approach a child’s teacher and the school’s special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) to discuss concerns. Most state schools provide checklists and screening tests designed to flag up dyslexic tendencies…

(Galileo, 2015). Inquiry Learning is derived from the history of the constructivist theory, which places emphasis on students taking an active role in creating knowledge of the world by experiencing new things and reflecting on these experiences (Educational Broadcasting Corporation, 2004). A constructivist classroom and Inquiry Learning underpin each other, as students are required to develop skills that are necessary to become effective learners, such as the ability to pose relevant questions,…
