Problem-based learning

However, Yang, a professor from Institute of Education & Center for Teacher Education in National Cheng Kung University, has claimed that our traditional learning did not fully satisfy the needs when dealing with many diversified real-world situations (Yang 2014). Simulations or games can provide the potential when talking in terms of academic learnings and employment settings. Just like everyone else, many people consider gaming is a type of entertainment. But in fact, it is an “edutainment,”…

prior knowledge. Fluid intelligence involves being able to think and reason abstractly and solve problems. This ability is considered independent of learning, experience, and education. Examples of the use of fluid intelligence include solving puzzles and coming up with problem-solving strategies. Fluid intelligence starts to decline during late adulthood (Cherry 2016). Crystallized intelligence is based on the information, skills, and strategies that individuals have learned from experience. It…

I believe an essential skill I possess is the ability to think critically and evaluate information to draw rational decisions. In particular, people who are good at evaluating are able to identify and solve problems, make plans, use critical thinking, find specific information and organize ideas (Government of Canada, 2015). I have demonstrated the ability to evaluate information and rationalize decisions several times in the past few months. For example, in active sports, such as soccer, I have…

in these schools. Students are being put into subgroups based on their race and their learning ability. They are not even given a fair chance anymore and the problem all started with an act. The No Child Left Behind Act was signed by President George W. Bush at Hamilton High School in Hamilton, Ohio, on Jan. 8, 2002. The act basically states that, “educational agencies and states accountable for improving…

Without technology Project Based Learning will not be as effective as it is today. PBL relies on collaboration, real-world connection, critical thinking and authentic assessments – components that are best served with technology. The key is to rearrange the way instructions have been presented where students’ experiences are used to teach abstract Math concepts. A PBL design starts with real world contexts, to conceptual understanding, then back to application and then creation. Project is…

partake in a gardening type activity to understand sustainability. Doing these types of cooperative groups motivates students because they don’t realize they are learning. Being able to work together on real-world problems really engages students. In research by Fortus et al., they found that because students were presented authentic problems their interest levels in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics increased because students saw the need for, or value in, that…

paper will discuss about the importance of learning memory, cognition, moods, and stress in the computer programming field. Understanding the concept of memory has several benefits in computer programming. Since The memory is organized according to the information-processing model of memory (Ballantyne, Hull & Licht, 2014), it helps…

chosen to examine my video from 2:45 – 3:25. During this time, I asked students for their answers to the problem given to them and their reasoning for this answer. In essence, I was hoping to target students’ knowledge of inverse functions and how they applied it to solving a situational problem. More specifically, if they were able to find the error in a solution of an inverse algebraic problem and explain their reasoning for this error. Moreover, once a student was able to state their…

Critically and Problem Solving When students are given the facts they require, they memorize those facts and use them to serve their short-term goals, which consists of passing tests and graduating to a higher class. However, when you give students critical thinking skills, they will be able to find the needed information for themselves. Students will be able to evaluate the qualities and consequences of that information. Students will also be able to utilize that information to solve any…

of integrating evidence and research conclusions into their clinical decision-making. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one reliable process that assists in efficient clinical decision-making (Wong & Myers, 2015). This process has emerged as a means of improving clinical practice from a culture of nursing guidelines derived from authoritarian traditions, to practice developed upon the current evidence-based research (Aitken et al., 2011). EBP has five systematic steps which enable nurses to make…
