Innate intelligence

The purpose of this research paper was to discuss an overview of the semantic and structural memories and to examine which one of the two have better recall retention. Semantic memories store information through personal events and adding meaning to it, an example would be associating words as unpleasant or pleasant. In another hand, structural memory is obtaining information of what an individual sees, an example would be seeing if a word is upper case or lower case. Evidence suggests semantic…

3.3 Benefits of CALL While there are those who are still skeptical about the use of a computer to teach language (an inherently human activity), the many benefits of a CALL program have been generally accepted. Some of these come from the general field of CAI, while some are specific to language learning. Individualization Probably the most important benefit is that of individualization and learner autonomy. With a CALL program, learners can work at their own pace and control their own learning…

Sheltered Instruction and SIOP Model® Each year, more and more children who speak a language other than English are attending the public schools, according to the Center for Public Education (2007). Their website states, “Nearly every district faces the challenge of helping these children become proficient in the English language while also providing them with a high-quality education.” Sheltered instruction is an educational strategy with proven success in helping ELL students develops…

Protocols for small group work in the classroom are methods, or systems that are put in place before commencing group work, to help people work together and aid small groups to run efficiently. Four protocols that that encourage effective group work are elements in planning, levels of group development, exercises for group work and benefits of group work (Whitton, 2016). The protocol of having elements in planning concerns the type and size of small groups. There are many ways a teacher can form…

• Introduction: In order to help students become engaged and motivated I will begin class with an interactive choral response activity, which will help students with their fluency. I will explain to students that we will count to 20 both backwards and forwards and in order to know whether to count up or down students will need to watch my hands/fingers for the signals. When I point my finger up students will count forward, when I point my finger down students will count backwards, and when I…

The app I’ve chosen to modify is noredink.com. It is a writing and grammar-based app designed to provide learners leveled practice in grades K-12. It uses “high interest content” based on student interests and names. Practice lessons are adaptive to each students’ needs, so there is no set number questions. The app also includes a diagnostic feature and quizzes with feedback. Teachers can assign specific lessons or the lessons are scaffolded in complexity. While sentences and practice…

Chapter eight looks at how blending younger and older generations enhances each other’s abilities. Either generation can become the student or the teacher, because so much has changed that either generation can give knowledge of how they learned (Beynon & Alfano pg121). Chapter eight includes two case studies that deal with the blending of the older and younger generations. The first case study deals with a boys and men’s choir. The Amabile Boys and Men’s Choirs case study provided that the…

Human intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Gardner had a 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…

The fundamental roles of social interaction is the theme stressed in Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development as the whole comunity has a big part to do in a child's development unlike Piaget who believes that a childs develpment is ahead of their social learning. The zone of proxmial development is the conttrast with what an individual learner can and cannot do with or without assistances, an example could be a university student who understand course material being studied in lectures and…
