Vocab 1
A cognitive framework of learning behaviors organized hierarchically in six categories: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
What is Bloom's Taxonomy?
Created Multiple Intelligences
Who is Howard Gardner?
A pedagogical framework where instructors center students’ cultural identities as an important aspect of learning. Those committed to this framework deliberately work to make connections between course content and students’ lived experiences in order to prompt student involvement and motivation.
What is Cultural Responsiveness?
The process of providing feedback to students during the learning process. These are often low-stakes activities that allow the instructor to check student work and provide feedback.
What is Formative Assessment?
Style of teaching that consists of instructors using a wide range of pedagogical approaches for students to learn and actively engage with the course content by having students construct knowledge with peers through collaboration, discussion, group projects, and problem-solving
What is Student-Centered Teaching?
A teaching and learning approach that “engages students in the process of learning through activities and/or discussion in class, as opposed to passively listening to an expert. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work.”
What is Active Learning
Termed the phrase zone of proximal development and scaffolding
Who is Lev Vygotsky?
Statements that articulate the knowledge and skills you want students to acquire by the end of the course or after completing a particular unit or assignment.
What are Learning Objectives/Learning Goals/Learning Outcomes?
The process of measuring a student’s learning at the conclusion of a course (or a portion of the course). They are typically associated with grades and can take the form of quizzes, exams or papers.
What is Summative Assessment?
A place between what the learner can already do on their own and what they cannot yet do. It is the range in which a learner is able to move from point A to point B with assistance from peers or an instructor; in other words, the place in which learning takes place.
What is Zone of Proximal Development?
Assessments in which student learners demonstrate learning by applying their knowledge to complex, real-world tasks or simulations.
What is Authentic Assessment?
Constructivist that believed that students connect new knowledge with existing schema
Who is Jean Piaget?
A process by which instructors build on a student’s previous experience or knowledge by adding in specific timely support structures in the form of activities or assignments for students to master new knowledge or skills and achieve learning goals
What is Scaffolding?
A collection of work, usually drawn from students' classroom work. They can be designed to assess student progress, effort, and/or achievement, and encourage students to reflect on their learning.
What is a Portfolio?
An instructional method that emphasizes students working together in small groups to complete a task or reach a common goal; in some cases, students may be responsible for each other's learning
What is Collaborative Learning?
“The intellectual, social, emotional, and physical environments in which our students learn”
What is Classroom Climate?
Behaviorist that believed that positive reinforcement strengthened behavior and increased the likelihood of repeated behavior
Who is B.F Skinner?
An umbrella term that includes pedagogical strategies such as problem-based learning and case-based learning that prioritize students exploring, thinking, asking, and answering content questions with peers to acquire new knowledge through a carefully designed activity. Such activities build in opportunities for students to authentically engage in and apply the scientific process as scientists rather than following a predetermined protocol
What is Inquiry-Based Learning?
The measure of consistency for an assessment indicating that the assessment yields similar results over time when applied to similar populations in similar circumstances. It provides an indication of the consistency of scores over time and across raters and different items that measure the same thing.
What is Reliability?
A learning format that requires a small number of students who work towards the completion of a given task; each student is responsible for a part of the task, and the entire task cannot be completed without all the learners finishing their portion of the task.
What is Cooperative Learning?
