Student learning

Rationale: Students taking control of their learning is a necessity in education. Through the evolution of education, research and data has shown that not only do students learn the material faster while engaged, but they also retain the new learned knowledge. Mathematics is a crucial and core subject where the content is covered in sequential stepping stones; each skill is needed in order to learn the next. Therefore, math needs to be taught in an effective and purposeful manner while also covering

The special agency serve that I picked was working with Highschool students at Riverside Highschool located on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This particular study was performed to find out the contribution of technology on a college student’s learning and thinking. The purpose of the study was to determine if the technology

Amongst theorists there is considerable disagreement around the effeteness of a student centred approach to teaching and learning. Kirschner, Sweller and Clark (2006) state that student centred, or discovery learning is not an adequate approach to teaching. The main focus of their paper supports the idea that direct instruction is a much more effective approach. They argue “minimal guidance during instruction is significantly less effective and efficient than guidance specifically designed to support

By providing clear insights into the nature of learning disabilities and how they can be addressed by educators, readers can have a better picture of how learning can be enhanced for those students. To begin with, the author refers to the biological factors implied in the development of LDs, providing some background knowledge about how the brain works in such cases. Basically, learning disabilities are the result of neurological disorders that affect the brain’s capacity

Do Expectations Affect Student Achievement? Tashina Linder Cape Fear Community College Abstract This paper provides an overview of the effects of expectations on student achievement. It begins with a brief introduction covering Jacobson and Rosenthal’s Pygmalion Effect. Then, it introduces expectations from three sources – teachers, parents, and students. The paper discusses how high or low expectations from teachers affect student learning, noting the differences in outcomes for each.

Instructional design in mathematics for students with learning disabilities. Journal of Learning Disabilities, 30, 130-141. 1. What are the 5 principles of effective instructional design? Identify and describe each principle. (2.5 points) a. Big Ideas- Main ideas within a subject that will make learning specific concepts easier and more meaningful. Examples include: proportion, data analysis, probability, volume (Carnine 133). b. Conspicuous Strategies- “Steps that students follow to achieve a certain goal”

theoretical support (NOTE: include with this response if not included in other supporting documents)? Many students at Stivers elect to take AP English Literature and Composition 12; for some, this is the first experience with an AP course. Because Stivers serves an urban population—mostly minority, mostly low-socioeconomic level—it is essential that I scaffold student learning so that students can be successful in this class. Rogers asserts that gifted children need regular opportunity to be unique

engage and motivate students to do their work. As an educator, I have to be constantly changing my teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of the students and establish a learning environment suitable for learning. In order for teachers to become leaders, they have to keep educating themselves professionally and implement new teaching methods to enhance the learning of the students. In addition, effective teachers have to implement activities that are meaningful to the students and if the activities

Research Project #1 (Assignment 2: Learning Objects) Bradley Bache 3129292 Submitted July 14, 2015 What can and will be viewed as an important part to enhance the effectiveness of a student’s learning; educators, software vendors and a student’s parents have supported the notion of involving technology into the classroom. This notion is increasingly valid in the area of post-secondary education where students primarily young adults, have to pay high amounts of tuition in the goal of obtaining
