Learning Theories
The human memory model consists of these three components.
Sensory register, working memory, long-term memory
This is an individual's belief about the nature of knowledge/knowing and it can vary greatly between students.
Epistemic beliefs
According to this theory, humans are motivated when tasks/activities are useful, hold personal importance, or that they find interesting.
Expectancy Value Theory (specifically, the "values" part!)
This type of assessment is used to determine what has been learned from instruction, while this other form of assessment is used to determine what students know before/during instruction.
Summative; formative
This is the thing you're most looking forward to about having one month off from school soon.
According to behaviorism, this is how we could increase a behavior.
Positive/negative reinforcement
This is one way to support students at risk.
Identify early; create supportive environment; engage student in curriculum; help them identify with school
Experiencing this in the classroom/at school is important for academic achievement, motivation, engagement, prosocial behaviors, school liking, and lower levels of delinquent or risk-taking behaviors.
Sense of Belonging (or need for relatedness is acceptable)
These are the four qualities of effective assessment.
Reliability; Standardization; Validity; Practicality (RSVP)
This is the best type of pie.
This theory of learning describes learning as something that is internal and may or may not lead to behavior change.
Social Cognitive Theory
This type of education incorporates many cultures' perspectives and traditions into the curriculum
Multicultural (will also take culturally relevant/responsive teaching)
Self-determination Theory emphasizes the role of these three needs as a way of explaining students' task/activity engagement.
Need for cognition, autonomy & relatedness
This type of score tells us students' level of mastery toward a skill, while this other type of score tells us how they compare to similar students.
Criterion, norm referenced
If this is your answer to a question in this class, you're probably right no matter what the question was.
Self-efficacy
Social Cognitive Theory suggests that individuals are influenced by these three reciprocally interacting factors.
Person, environment, behavior
This is one challenge that can be associated with students living in poverty.
Self-efficacy influences these four things.
Choice, effort, persistence, achievement
This is the percentile associated with an average score.
50th
This is your favorite Thanksgiving side.
This theory (or theorist) suggested that learners internalize culturally relevant ways of knowing both formally through instruction, and informally, often through play.
Sociocultural Theory or Vygotsky
These were 5 of the educational rights for students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) discussed in class.
Free, appropriate public education; fair/non-discriminatory evaluation; least restrictive environment; IEP; due process
Self-efficacy is influenced by these four things.
Mastery experiences; vicarious experiences (modeling!); social persuasion/feedback; physiological feedback
This is one problem with high-stakes testing.
May not reflect instructional content/goals; may encourage teaching to the test; promotes performance orientations; can lead to misconduct; schools are incentivized to do well...
This is the greatest band/musician of all time.
