Problem-based learning

project “Learning Classroom Management Through Web-Based Case Instruction: Implications for Early Childhood Teacher Education”, Lee and Choi embodied most of the qualities of action research. Unlike other types of research studies, the major goal of a research study is to improve teacher’s teaching practice and promote the learning outcomes as well as the behavior of students in a classroom environment. This research project embodied this goal because it sought to improve teaching and learning…

gave me chances to explore various topics and learning approaches about the workforce and workplace education and development. Among the topics of articles reviewed and teaching methods presented by my classmates throughout the semester I choose to talk about service learning, case study method, problem-solving, guided discovery learning, Socratic questioning. The four chosen teaching methods are related, and they are centered around dealing with problems and their solutions. I will talk about…

Teaching Philosophy Statement: My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that students need a safe learning environment in order for deeper understanding to take place. I believe, based on my prior experiences and research, that active learning allows students of all learning styles to gain a deep mathematical understanding of content. Active learning also offers opportunities for students to explore and utilize the eight Standards for Mathematical Practices that are listed in the Common…

undergo evidenced based practice, within an organization it is integral to aspect differing response to change. Forecasting potential obstacles, hardship and patient response to change can be a relatively difficult undertaking, implementing the Organizational readiness for evidence-based practice tool proves to be a formidable way to assess organization readiness. Within the following passages this writer plans to review in word form, her organizations readiness for evidence based practice…

article stated that “one likely culprit is the number of hours kids now spend in front of the TV and playing video games rather than engaging in creative activities.” But for some others, they believe it can enhance and be beneficial towards children learning abilities. Like Linda Jackson, a professor of psychology at Michigan State University said, “video games can be designed to optimize the development of creativity while retaining their entertainment values such that a new generation of…

born problem solver and leader who desires to change this world for the better. I have excelled in academics, especially mathematics and sciences, because of my curiosity. I seek knowledge wherever I can, and then some. I strive for perfection, which drives me to work until everything is known, solved, and understood. This is based on my belief that knowledge is essential for solving problems. For example, understanding real world applications of the derivative, like surface area, is based on…

should begin as a whole group activity, the learning could be extended by having students create a graph or the information in a math journal. By writing number sentences about the data collected, student can further extend their understanding. These extensions move children beyond collecting and analyzing data to increase conceptual understanding of the various representations of numbers (p. 93). Writing About Math In addition to talking about math problems and concepts, it is also important…

Software companies and educational professionals collaborate to develop engaging online learning courses for students (Hill, 2015). Educators have developed online tools that include the use of video games for the purpose of providing students with opportunities to learn while enjoying learning (De-Marcos, Dominguez, Saenz-de-Navarrete & Pages, 2014). Many teachers of students in online learning programs struggle with keeping students motivated and engaged in the online courses (Barrett, 2013)…

Problem solving is a system used to get to an answer. It could be used for many subjects; however, it is especially displayed in math for the early grades. Problem solving has many branches and avenues that stream from it; there are many ways to define it. In my math for educator’s class we spent multiple days fine-tuning what it means to problem solve. We added more terms to our concept map as we used problem-solving skills in our lessons. The main theme in defining problem solving is that…

Digital Learning Games a Curriculum Trend Today’s students spend most of their hours on electronic devices. According to Pew Research Center (2013) study, 78% of teens own a cellphone; furthermore, 74% of teens have access to the internet on their cell phone, tablets, and other media devices. Based on these statistics, students are living in a “digital environment that has shaped how they think, behave, and act” (Gu, Zuh, Guo, 2013, p. 392). Therefore, it is vital to incorporate technology…
