Metacognition

The above long and short-term goals were established based on the Cognitive-Emotional Theory of language development. The relationship between cognition and emotional development can be traced back to Erik Erikson, Anna Freud, and Selma Fraiberg. Current proponents for this theory include child psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan and his colleague Serena Wieder (Nelson, 2010). This theory acknowledges that nature and nurture cannot be individually accepted as the sole influence for language…

The idea of the flipped classroom is a relatively new pedagogical tool in education that appears to be gaining tremendous momentum. In a flipped classroom, students receive, review, and study information prior to attending class through online prerecorded lectures, videos, or other materials, and class time is then utilized for active learning such as collaboratively discussing, solving, practicing, thinking, and experimenting, allowing teachers time for individual assistance. (Rotellar & Cain…

In Rasinki’s The Fluent Reader, he outlines the importance of repeated reading when improving fluency skills. Repeated reading gives children the opportunity to practice what they have read and work on comprehension, intonation and accuracy. One strategy shown in the text is called radio reading. Radio reading is similar to that of round robin reading, but it places emphasis on collaboration. They are similar in the sense that they use a systematic approach, which will help students practice…

where the real learning takes place. Students are able to “illustrate” and explain their thought processes through Maps, while other students listen, ask questions, agree and/or disagree. He also stated that using the eight Thinking Maps promote metacognition and continuous cognitive development for students across their academic careers, as well as adds an artistic and kinesthetic component for students who learn effectively with that specific multiple…

activity that the teacher should keep in mind is the tone with which they present the activity. Overall, the older struggling students must feel a sense of empowerment from becoming a tutor. Overarching the supplementary activity is the notion metacognition: the intention of this tutoring activity is to facilitate a conscious awareness of words-attack strategies for the older students. Essentially, the older students are taught how to use Fry's How to Teach Reading program and in-turn will tutor…

After taking this course and studying human development, it has given me great insight into my personal development and growth from the prenatal period through early adulthood. When writing this essay, I chose to include the theories I found most applicable and accurate in regards to my experiences as I developed from the prenatal period to early adulthood. Starting with the prenatal period in the first trimester of pregnancy as I went from zygote to embryo to fetus, I developed rapidly and…

As Huck travels down the supposed linear path of the river, however, he repeatedly diverges from his own expected moral path, calling into question its linear structure. Huck appears to take steps forward by caring for Jim when no one else will: he promises not to “tell” on Jim when they find each other at Jackson’s Island (43). Yet only hours after their union, Huck engages Jim in a ‘minstrel moment,’ or a conversation where Jim is made to look foolish and simpleminded for the reader’s…

has challenged my thinking and expanded my ideals and this is what I believe the essence of teaching practices should look like. In Lipman’s model of teaching, inquiry-based learning is a teaching method that focuses on student investigation, metacognition and hands-on learning, and the teacher’s primary role is that of a facilitator, providing guidance and support for students through the learning process (Johnson & Reed, 2008). William Butler Yeates captures the essence of education that…

freely. My goal is to take them out of the streets and society and put them in a place that ensures other people’s safety. Many times throughout the day, I find myself second guessing myself and thinking about thinking. This is called metacognition. Ever since I was younger, I have been experiencing sympathy and empathy. I have always strongly cared and kept in mind other people's emotions. My biggest need from the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs is Self-Actualization. I believe that I…

Class is a very powerful system in America’s society that divides people into categories based on social and/or economic statuses. Within classes, there are a set of boundaries and characteristics, that identify individuals accordingly. There are three major known classes existing in America today that are the upper, middle, and working class. As suggested by the names, the list goes from wealthiest to poorest classifications. Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” and Emily Dickinson 's poem “Some…
