Arts 1110(English)

The theory of learning that lies beneath the teaching & learning practices of a particular educational environment.

"Literally 'beyond knowing', knowing what one knows and doesnt know- a students ability to self-moniter levels of understanding & predict how well he will do on a particular task"

-Active listening -problem solving -student responsibility -awareness of failures to comprehend

-Absorb information more easily when it is presented visually. (work well with graphs & diagrams)

-Tend to learn more easily when information is presented in language. (May need to translate graphical info into language in order to absorb it.

-Most comfortable with tasks that require an understanding of the real, or physical world.(Learn best with concrete examples)

-Prefer to work with language & concepts.(Most comfortable when they are taught a rule or principle first and then asked to work from the rule to a conrete example)

1)Encoding 2)Storage 3)Retrieval

The process of recording sensory data from the outside world.(to improve Encoding get rid of competing stimuli AKA tv,music)

1. Sensory storage 2. Short-term memory 3. long-term memory

The process of recovering stored information from the memory (to improve retrieval use active learning techniques like CNT method & SQR3)

1- Rote Learning (repitition of info) 2-Elaborative Rehearsal (The connection of new material with already learned material) 3-Recoding (Rearranging, changing, grouping, or categorizing of information)

1) Proactive Interference -occurs when old learning interferes with the acquisition of new info. 2) Retroactive Interference -occurs when new learning destabilizes existing knowledge.

1)Evaluation 2)Synthesis 3)Analysis 4)Application 5)Understanding 6)Knowledge
