Plagiarism Exercise “… In an effort to better understand how adults learn, adult learning theories are derived to help theorists and practitioners by providing workable and testable explanations of the learning process. These theories seek to explain how the process of learning as an adult differs from learning as a child. They focus on describing how various social, psychological, emotional, and physiological factors affect adult learning. To that end, ideas generated by educators, sociologists, and psychologists all contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the adult learner and how to create a learning environment that is most suitable to their unique needs…” (Snyder, 2009).

This whole process offers opportunities to break down “those barriers of class, race, and national territory which kept men from perceiving the full import of their activity”. Moreover, Dewey believes that group learning also helps change social habit as people would accommodate their own habit to which they have obtained from the interaction with the members of the group and consider more appropriate. Decades after Dewey claimed the educative power of the group; contemporary educators continue to place strong emphasis on collaborative learning reflecting through the widely use of the method in both conventional and advanced forms supported by the development of technology in instruction at all levels of education.
His interest in children’s cognitive processes developed when he started to notice that children of similar ages made the same kinds of mistakes on test questions. After in depth research, Piaget developed the stages of cognitive development theory. This revolved around the idea that unlike adults, thinking and mental development of children changes qualitatively with age (Passer & Smith, 2013). In order to understand Piaget’s theory, it is important to understand its fundamental principles. The first, Piaget referred to using the term ‘schema’.
Adult Learning Theories Acquiring knowledge of adult learning might be the most significant journey anyone can undertake. Success in life is determined how motivated and how positive a person can be. Andragogy is the art and science of helping adults learn (Henschke, J A. 2011). To better understand the way adults learn, multiple researchers, scholars and educators alike have been establishing andragogy to implement into individuals personal glossaries.
Some student profiles created by faculty members contain information that could be called into question because of biases and stereotyping. Conclusion This report provides a descriptive framework of the Kelsey Elementary School. At first glance, the systems, faculty, and personal that are in place seem to function well. Further observation reveals that although there are good communication methods in place, there is room for improvement. There are several factors that lead to a breakdown in communications but there are many tools and exercises that can aide in the improvement of communication between staff members, teachers and students, administrators and faculty, and all others associated with Kelsey
Erikson’s theory includes eight stages, which I will state each stage without details. * Stage 1 trust versus Mistrust * Stage 2 Autonomy Versus Shame and Doubt * Stage 3 Initiative Versus Guilt * Stage 4 Industry Versus Inferiority (Child Development Principles and Theories) Piaget's theory of cognitive development described and explained the changes in logical thinking of children and adolescents. Piaget proposed that children proceed through four stages based on maturation and experience. Piaget's theory is guided by assumptions of how learners interact with their environment and how they integrate new knowledge and information into existing knowledge. Briefly, he proposed that: * children are active learners who construct knowledge from their environments * they learn through assimilation and accommodation, and complex cognitive development occurs through equilibration * the interaction with physical and social environments is key for cognitive development * development occurs in stages (Education Portal) Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory focused on the role of culture and
(English, 2009). Subject positions emerged: (1) Classroom teacher: Too many responsibilities, time management, responsible for covering the curriculum, role of expert instructional decision maker, and role of learning facilitator; (2) ESL department: Completely responsible for all ELLs, responsible for constructing a fun community for ELLs, and supporting teachers with small group instruction and data; (3) English language learners: ELLs are responsible for their own success or failure, role of deficient and passive students who need special help, and the student’s role is determined by different labels either mainstream, ELL, or Special Education. (English, 2009, p. 6). What is your opinion of the literature review? Is it comprehensive?
The pedagogical tool of Group Based Learning is one that may successfully employ traditional methods of teaching as it relies on treating students as teachers as they are encouraged to work out the answers to problems themselves and in peer groups (DEET, 2012) and using visual instruction via technology. The pedagogical philosophy Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences draws some similarities to traditional education. This philosophy recognises individual skill and tries to match students to their particular skill and interest (Churchill et al, 2011). The current educational curriculum can also be seen as an impediment to Aboriginal children achieving success in the educational system (Partington, 2002). According to research this can be remedied by a greater curriculum content based on Indigenous values, stories and ideas (Partington, 2002).
The cognitive reason why we become like our parents can be explained by Piaget’s Four Stages of Cognitive Development. He states that children build schemas, and a teenager may have a schema that their parents are wrong or not what the teenager wants to be. Piaget then states that teenagers can assimilate, or change their existing schemas, by interpreting new experiences. By assimilating their existing schemas they may determine that their parents are what they want to be. The stage Piaget would have put this type of teenager in is the Concrete Operational Stage.
