Learning
What is the process of growth and change over time, encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects?
Development
What involves drawing on past experiences and knowledge as a foundation for new learning?
Experience
What learning theory emphasizes the active construction of knowledge through experiences, reflection, and interaction with the environment?
Constructivism
What is the level of alertness or readiness to learn, influencing attention, motivation, and engagement?
Arousal
What term refers to recognizing and valuing differences in culture, background, abilities, and perspectives among learners?
Diversity
What describes the establishment and strengthening of connections between neurons, facilitating learning and cognitive processes?
Connectivity
What learning theory focuses on the transmission of knowledge from teacher to learner through structured instruction and guidance?
Instructivism
What type of learning involves a neutral stimulus becoming associated with a reflexive response through repeated pairings with an unconditioned stimulus?
Classical Conditioning
What creates a supportive and collaborative environment where learners feel connected and engaged?
Community
What is the process by which neural pathways become more efficient through the insulation of nerve fibers, enhancing signal transmission and learning?
Myelination
What refers to negative or unproductive challenges that hinder learning and can lead to frustration or disengagement?
Bad Struggle

Operant Conditioning
What acknowledges and utilizes the diverse range of skills, knowledge, and experiences that learners bring from their homes and communities?
Funds of Knowledge
What term refers to involving and adapting existing neural structures for new tasks or skills, such as reading in a young child?
Repurposed Plasticity
What refers to positive challenges that promote growth, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, leading to deeper understanding and mastery?
Good Struggle
What describes the gap between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance and support from a more knowledgeable other?
Zone of Proximal Development
What term refers to the essential or practical aspects of a situation or subject matter?
Brass Tacks
What term refers to innate capacities, such as recognizing familiar faces in an infant?
Prepared plasticity
What learning technique involves the deliberate alternation between different topics or skills during practice, enhancing retention and transfer of learning?
Interleaving
What involves systematically tracking and assessing learners' development and understanding over time to inform instructional decisions and interventions?
