Implementing Observational Learning

Social learning theorists refer to this as vicarious reinforcement, and view it as a large influence on human behavioural responses to environmental stimuli.

Today violence has become an every day experience in life. Playing video games or turning on the television, and flipping through the channels at random, you will most likely stumble upon various forms of violence. Does it desensitize or help us tolerate violence? And the most controversial issue, does it cause violence?

At Arts-Based School I did my observation in Leni Fragakis’s third grade class. This was the first observation I had done since learning about instructional design. Since learning it, I now have a new way of observing, I pay more attention to the teacher; how she implemented the lessons, what strategies she uses, and the types of assessments she uses. This gives me a better experience because before I was just paying attention to what the students were doing and their part in the classroom and now I am paying attention to so much more. Even though it is important to watch the kids, I now also know how important it is to observe the teacher, too. I was also able to observe what I am learning in class be used in the classroom.

7. This learning phenomenon, which involves observation of rewarding or punishing consequences experienced by others, serves much the same function as being rewarded or punished oneself:

There are so many opportunities and lessons I have been taking away from this observation experience. First, being the importance of structuring a classroom

In this lab experience I was observing eighteen to nineteen first grade students at Jefferson Elementary. Most of the observations take place in the classroom. I observe at different times of the day, so that I can experience different areas of study. I have observed this class with their regular teacher, two substitutes and the reading coach, as well as a portion of the class with two special activity teachers.

Gary D. Borich begins chapter three of Observation Skills for Effective Teaching with a fictitious dialogue in which a teacher presents a social studies lesson. He then examines this sample lesson through each of the eight lenses provided in the previous chapter. While the provided scenario is somewhat condensed and some of the classroom behaviors might be slightly exaggerated, it serves to provide a more thorough example of how the lenses function when observing. It also demonstrates that all of the lenses are interrelated and that no single lens provides a complete picture of a classroom. Borich goes on to provide practical suggestions for the observer to follow before, during, and after observation. He advises to find out ahead of time basic

Observational learning was form by Albert Bandura during his Bobo Doll experiment. Bobo doll experiment is an experiment where a child seeing his or her parents hitting the bobo doll angrily and follows the actions that was done by their parents. The learning is also known as shaping, modelling and vicarious reinforcement as this can be done in any place at any point in life and is mostly occurs during childhood. The observational learning able to influence one behaviour. As an example, by watching my dad cooks, I’ll able to cooks the dishes that he has just make for lunch. Also by observing others doing something one able to follow and observer others behaviour. However, observational learning can be done by only when others have an authority against

This signature assignment is about observing and analyzing classroom instruction in at least 2 classrooms. The two classrooms that I chose to observed is special education and general education. In this assignment I will give a synopsis of my observation, how the instruction differentiated to meet the needs of identified students, identify strengths and needs based on research based practice, and I will suggest what are the next steps teachers can take to improve their lesson.

When I made my first visit to practicum site, I tried to consider observing developmentally appropriate practice. First of all, I observed physical conditions of the classroom and the garden. The class and the garden are connected by windows that this helps children to make a connection between inside and outside world (Gonzales-Mena, 2001). When the classroom allows children being more integrated with the outside world, in my opinion, they find more things that they can improve their developments more intellectually. Also, this physical condition makes easy some activities. For example, in my observing class, every morning a child shows what weather is today via looking outdoor from the windows. I think that it is more pleasure looking from

Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher.

Observation will help teachers to focus on emerging skills and abilities such as what the child can do instead of what the child can’t do. According to Vygotsky, assessment methods must target both the level of actual development and the level of potential development Trawick-Smith, 20014). Also, observation guides curriculum and development. For example, the baby notices and follows the rattle but when the child hears something else on the other side of the room, the child begins to attend to that sound and action. The caregiver stops moving the rattle and starts looking at and describing what the baby is hearing and seeing.

Learning: learning is a mandatory skill that is needed for every single person in the world. No one simply just knows something right off the bat, everything must be learned. They’re many types of learning techniques; each person has their own learning style. Accordingly, there are three main learning types; audible ( hearing), visual, and kinesthetic ( hands on ). Not every skill is learned in the classroom, some skills are just acquired through life’s experiences. There are many theories concerning the matter of learning; this essay will discuss two very popular theories, Observational learning and associative learning. The observational learning and associative learning theories are the result of genius; they shed a light on the previously

A student has the ability to learn without a teacher. However, the Law of the Teaching Process creates the background for a teacher to guide a student on the path to more knowledge. A teacher should establish a safe environment that encourages thinking to help students learn “the unknown by the way of the known” (84). Acquiring their knowledge and increasing their mental power correlates to the aims of a teacher as they guide students. While a teacher is to be passionate in laying out knowledge, the really work of an education, acquiring knowledge, is the work of the student. A student learns by discovery and information stores as the student interprets the new information.

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.
