Knowledge management

performances assessment What are performance assessments? According to Scott King-Owen (2007) performance assessments imply that students are doing a complex task. The focus of a performance assessment is to see how well a student can apply his or her knowledge of content by using the skills that he or she has learned. Performance assessment is said by its advocators to be more in line with instruction than multiple-choice tests. With an emphasis on a closer similarity between observed…

Teachers inadvertently use learning theories to inform their teaching. They play a major role in children’s learning and are extremely valuable when used correctly. In this piece of writing, three different learning theories will be discussed: Piaget’s theory of cognitive constructivism, Vygotsky’s theory of social constructivism and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Each of these theories will be explored deeper and evaluated as well as analysing their importance in relation to the primary classroom…

Laches is a 'definition' Dialogue, which aims to give definition of andreia (courage). Socrates and other characters scrutinize a number of possible definitions of courage as part of pursuit to discover that excellence is an introduction to an enquiry into how it might be taught and who will be qualified to teach it. The latter stages are never reached as it is characteristic of Socratic dialogues that the definitions all fail and discussion ends in confusion. At the start of the dialogue there…

Knowledge is found in many ways yet it may be broadly classified into ‘Shared Knowledge’ and ‘Personal knowledge’. With reference to ‘Shared Knowledge’, we often mean to say ‘we know’, being objective in nature. The field of education is a shared knowledge system where individuals from different cultural backgrounds are collectively brought and are imparted with ideas based on various areas of knowledge, which contain theories, facts and information. In this era of rapid technological change,…

how to best engage students while helping them master the fundamentals of business and technical writing. I guide them in learning how to transfer their understanding of concepts to real-world applications because that is where the true mastery of knowledge takes place. Whether in an on-campus class, a hybrid, or an online-only class, I believe in involving students as partners in their learning process. Pedagogical Approach: I realize that the online learning experience is quite different from…

lens is very much influenced by the constructivism theory of learning, in particular Jerome Bruner’s theory. He posits that learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon existing knowledge. Aspects of the process include making choices creating theories, and making meaning from the facts, data and knowledge. Bruner postulated three stages of intellectual development. The first stage he termed "Enactive", when a person learns about the world through actions on physical objects and the…

However one day, a prisoner escapes and witnesses the outside world. The escaped prisoner has gone through an enlightenment in which he sees the supposed “light in the sky”. To share his new found knowledge, he journeys back to the cave and tries to convince the prisoners to join him with the new found knowledge. Socrates explains to Glaucon, that the prisoners would rather choose to be kept dark than be blind by saying “will he not be perplexed? Will he not fancy that the shadows which he…

2.4 Teaching Teaching is about transmission of knowledge from teacher to student (Harmer, 2003:107).

From the definition above, it can be conclude that teaching is a process of transferring knowledge from the teacher to the students through some activity. The different activity in teaching process will give new experience for the students. Junior High School Students are classify…
