In the article The Kinesthetic Learning Style, Kelly Roell states “The learner needs to be actively doing something while learning. Much of the time, they need to get up and move to put something into memory” (Roell, 2014, para. 2). Sue Douglass Fliess states the obvious in her article What It Means to Be a Visual Learner by stating “Visual learners learn best by watching” (Fliess, n.d., para. 2).
Module 1 Provide support for learning activities Exercises and activities |Question 1.1 | |In your own words, describe each of the three, theory categories that have influenced educational practice and curriculum. For each | |category, select one theory, describe its main features and give an example. | |Thorndyke and Skinner’s behaviourist theory is based on behaving how is expected of you and being rewarded or chastised for that | |behaviour. | |E.g. If a child is given the task of sitting quietly and smartly by the teacher while they are delivering a lesson, if the child fulfils | |the task set to her, she will then receive a reward for her good behaviour.
Internal Quality Assurance upholds the credibility of any assessment or qualification the organisation delivers. IQA ensures quality throughout the learner journey, ensures accuracy and consistency of decisions, manages risk, identifies issues/ trends, supports and develops assessors. The process ensures that the provision at the centre and subject level conforms to approved procedures and that consistency is being achieved within the institution. “Quality is the ‘degree of excellence of something’ Quality assurance is ‘a system of maintaining and improving standards” (p6 Level 3 & 4 Awards & Certificates in Assessment and Quality Assurance Qualification handbook for centres). An important principle of a quality concept is
SPE 226 Educating the Exceptional Learner Benchmark Assessment Targeted Essential Learning Effective teachers implement lesson plans that utilize diversified strategies to meet the learning needs of students with varying degrees of cognitive abilities. Effective teachers are able to adapt instruction based on learner needs. (APTS 3, 9; INTASC 2; CEC 4, 7) Assessment Tool Selected Project a) Accommodations and Modification of Lesson Plan b) Report - Reflective Analysis Specific Performance/Task(s) • Implement lesson plans. (APTS 3.1) • Select and utilize best practice implementation strategies appropriate to different developmental levels. (APTS 3.7) • Implement differentiated strategies that address diverse learners.
Unit 307 (1.5) Explain how assessment for learning can contribute to planning for the future learning carried out by :- (a) the teacher Teachers should think about the strategies they use when pupils carry out formal assessed tasks. (Consider baseline assessment at the start of a topic to assess prior knowledge. If assessment shows lack of understanding, stop and address how to overcome understanding) Teachers must think about and plan their questions carefully. Feedback from pupils enables the teacher to assess whether the pupils completely understand what they have been learning. Teachers can analyse performance using tests or questioning the pupils after completing an activity.
Unit one in this class first involved the class picking values we thought were important to make a caring learning environment. As we shared our reasons for picking the values on a discussion board, the class was involved in cooperative learning. In other words, we helped others evaluate their own values by providing input and suggestions. In this way, I believe this section in particular of Unit one and the discussion boards in general addressed our continuing professional development: TPE 13. Another aspect of Unit one was identifying and categorizing our intelligences.
Different people adjust to different strategies. Most people adjust to more than one strategy. We just need to identify which ones through assessment. How the Awareness of Learning Strategies Influence Teaching and Learning It is important for teachers to understand what a student is going through in their process of learning new information. If you know the learning style of the student, it is easier to convey the message you are trying to convey.
PTLLS: Roles, responsibilities and relationships in lifelong learning 1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities 1.2 Analyse own responsibilities for promoting equality and diversity 1.3 Evaluate own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning 1.4 Review own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners PTLLS: 1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities PTLLS: 1.2 Analyse own responsibilities for promoting equality and diversity Summarise, in 1.1, suggests that a paragraph will be sufficient for describing each key aspect of legislation, regulations and codes of practice. Analyse, in 1.2, means that you should also ‘extract’ aspects of legislation, regulations and codes of practice that focus on equality and diversity issues. PTLLS: 1.3 Evaluate own role and responsibilities in lifelong learning Evaluate in this criterion means that you should be able to explain the ‘value’, or contribution, to society of being a teacher in the lifelong learning sector. PTLLS: 1.4 Review own role and responsibilities in identifying and meeting the needs of learners Before reviewing your role and responsibilities, for 1.4, you will need to be clear about what is meant by ‘the needs of learners’. Once you are clear about
The important influence of behaviors on learning can be studied by the behavior that occurs after learning has been initiated or stored. Behavior and learning are codependent on each other. Behavior is observable, and this makes the process of learning more easily observable as well. The two types of behavioral learning have aided in understanding the concepts involved in improved learning through conditioning. These new realizations have been converted into the classrooms to better educate students.
Distinction To achieve a distinction the evidence must show that, in addition to the pass and merit criteria, the learner is able to: The learner will: 1 Understand the learning process The learner can: P1 Explain key influences on personal learning processes of individuals M1 explain the importance of improving skills for learning to support learning processes 2 Be able to plan for and P2 Assess own knowledge, monitor own professional skills, practice, values, development beliefs and career aspirations at start of programme P3 Produce an action plan for self-development and the achievement of own personal goals 3 Be able to reflect on own development over time D1 evaluate changes P4 Produce evidence of own M2 analyse the importance made to action of meeting action plan progress against action plan in response to targets in supporting own plan over the duration of ongoing reflection of progression the programme development, targets and goals P5 Reflect on own personal and professional development M3 explain how knowledge D2 analyse own gained within the development and learning environment progression over time has influenced own professional development 4 Know service provision in the health or social care
