Summary Introduction: The adult learning theory is very important in the college environment today, with many adults returning to college for various reasons. It is a benefit for both instructors and adult learners to understand the adult learning theories in order to make the adult education experience more successful. Summary of Article 1: Article 1 “Revisiting adult learning theory through the lens of an adult learner,” discusses five different traditional learning theories, "orientations," to learning: behaviorist, humanist, cognitive, social cognitive, and constructivist (Jackson &, 2009). It discusses the meaning of each and gives thorough examples of what each style of learning is (Jackson &, 2009). It also discussed the teacher’s role in adult learning and how important it can be to the learners (Jackson &, 2009).
The group does have purpose as they plan to create an after-school program which will improve school performance both by the students and the teachers. The group is structured as the Woodson Foundation and the school system will develop a new agency that will draw on resources from both organizations as well as a representative from the NCPIE. This is where the group comes up short from the storming stage as there is no leadership yet. They are still establishing ground rules such as: Will the new jobs be unionized? And Will the Woodson Foundation be able to use hard data?
So if you had to choose which would you choose for children?Making sure you are looking and thinking ahead of what the positive and negative of both. After reading this information I hope you can decide what you would pick if you had to choose between homeschooling or public schooling. By thinking that both have educational positives and negatives to both of them. Looking at the positives of public schooling there seems to be many great things about public schooling. First you have teachers who are working with you child all day, and are available to help at anytime.
Nurturing stage: Birth to 18-24 Months or Autonomy- The major task at this stage is forming bonds of attachment with the baby. Parents attempt to meet the needs of the baby and balance this with other responsibilities involving spouse, jobs, and friends. Authoritative stage: Two to four or five years- Parents nurture, guide, and discipline their child. Parents evaluate their effectiveness in establishing limits, communicating and enforcing rules, and allowing enough freedom for each child to grow and develop. Interpretive Stage: Preschool Years through Adolescence- Parents teach their child about life and help him or her interpret the actions of others such as their teachers and peers.
Article Analysis- “Revitalizing the American Dream” “Revitalizing the American Dream”, by Adam Bluestein and Amy Barrett is an article from “Inc.” magazine that gives some ideas for boosting the amount of small businesses formed in America each year. In this analysis I will cover the three ideas that I think are the best, and give reasons why I like them. With unemployment being such a major concern in America, and small business being the source of most job creation, entrepreneurs are vital to the health of our economy. The three ideas from the article that I like the most are: “Our education system should foster entrepreneurship among the young”, “Reward innovation through business-plan competitions”, and “Take entrepreneurship out of the business schools.” The first of my favorite ideas mentioned in the article is about fostering entrepreneurship in our young through the educational system. As long as I can remember I have wanted to be my own boss.
During this stage the toddler will have the issues of bodily functions, toilet training, muscular control, and walking. The third stage is when the child starts preschool. They will form a relationship with their family and explore, discover, play and have an adventure. This stage is called Initiative V. Guilt. Moreover, the fourth stage is Industry V. inferiority.
A child is usually with their parents for three to five years before they enter into the public schools. Those three to five years are crucial in a child’s life. Their parents have already molded and shaped many ideals and beliefs their child will subconsciously have forever. I agree with the reading in regards to the statement that, “social and cultural practices of a family are key considerations in the family literacy program.” I think that students learn best when it’s associated to prior knowledge. If an instructor or program allowed for students to learn based on the home’s cultural views, the child would more than likely understand the material better and also do better in school.
Week 2 Assignment: The First Three Years Of Development A child’s brain learns a lot in the first three years of life including learning the environment around him or her and how to walk and talk (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Parenting styles affect the way a child grows including the income levels of the parents (Lugo-Gil & Tamis-LeMonda, 2008). The Zero to Three movement was developed to explain that the first three years in a child’s life are the most important to development (Zero to Three, 2012). This paper will be discussing the zero to three myth, how the myth can be interpreted, and how a child’s first three years impact changes over the lifespan. Myth of The First Three Years The myth of the first three years can be explained by the emphasis of the first three years of a child’s life as being the most important to cognitive development.
