1.2 Explain how active pariticipation promotes independance in the tasks of daily living. Active involvement in learning to develop life skills can help people to become independent. Learning in a safe environment and knowing that there is support at hand in case it is needed will give a person confidence and reassurance. 1.3 Describe how daily living tasks may be affected by an individuals culture or background Gender perception and culture can infl uence daily living tasks. For example, some might fi nd it more acceptable for women to deliver personal care and tend to household tasks because this is how they were brought up.
U5A3 SP3450 - Social Psychology Unit 5 Assignment 3: The Milgram Experiment 01/22/14 Milgram Experiment A psychologist from Yale University named Stanley Milgram conducted the Milgram obedience experiment. He wanted to see the participant’s willingness to obey an authority figure while testing their moral conscience. In the experiment they were told that they would be either a “teacher” or a “learner” and would be randomly be assigned to either role. However unbeknownst to them all the slips said teacher and people aware of the study acted like they got the learner slip. The teacher was given a list of words that he read to the learner.
The incongruent stimulus was numerical value and numerosity where processing took longer in the condition. Participants were asked to read aloud four lists (a congruent, reading, counting, and incongruent) and be recorded in time how fast they could complete each task. The independent variables in our research included congruency of content and counting while the dependent variables were the reaction times. The results suggested that indeed the longer reaction times were that of the incongruent condition. This suggests that due to numerosity and numeral values speed of processing is slowed down.
This may seem to be an easy task, but once attempted it was made obvious that it takes much longer for the brain to process the fact that it has to say the color of the letters versus the actual word. Words take much less time to process than colors, which would explain why it took a longer amount of time to say the actual color of the text. Naming colors also requires a lot more attention than reading words. This would also be a reason as to why saying the color of the text might take longer. In order to see the difference between nameing colors with matching words and colors to nameing non-matching words and colors, we did three trials of each with five different test subjects and found the average of both tests.
I had forgotten about the other types of learning and communication methods, and I settled into what is comfortable for me. Because I am a visual, tactile learner I mostly got out of my seat and taught and communicated by demonstration, rather than acknowledging that there are different modes of communicating. I am now ready to consider and implement different ways to communicate. This is describing to the nurse in detailed manner what the picture is, by auditory instruction. In the” Making Assignments” portion of the reading I discovered that I have learned these skills while not being aware of the process or terms describing them.
Lesson Plan Critique #2 “Symbolic Analysis of One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest: Literature, Album Art, and Voice Thread”, is a lesson plan designed to help students analyze traditional texts by connecting them to visual and digital texts. This lesson was created by Luke Rodesiler of the University of Florida and is intended and executed for 11th and 12th graders in a Michigan English Language Arts Class. The lesson focuses on finding symbolism in, The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and participating in digital media conversations using the online tool Voice Thread. This lesson plan time frame is designed in five 60 minute class periods, a new activity each day including: exploring symbolism in literature, reading colors, introducing
Word selection is vital to her premise, and she advises the reader to “be simple, but go deep.” Uses vivid examples of just what she means to make her point as she guides the reader into an easy and enjoyable read. Hale’s lessons continue past words to the basic parts of a sentence, and then progress to how to stitch those parts into the sentence itself. Hale emphasizes that the sentence is more than just the sum of its parts. The trick is to craft from the parts a whole that conveys as much in how it reads and feels as in what it says. There must be a scheme for generating even the simplest sentence.
The quality of the reasoning depends on our ability to logically or dependably apply proper judgmental criteria. (Stiggins, 2008, p. 61) Evaluation is when one makes judgments about the value of ideas or materials (Bloom). During the second half of the school year, fourth graders are asked to write a simple research paper. Part of the learning is to introduce the students to the library resource (EBSCO) that is a search engine similar to an online catalog. To help students learn to evaluate appropriate resources I give the students a list of ten different magazines that they must evaluate.
Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Because fluent readers do not have to concentrate on decoding the words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. They can make connections among the ideas in the text and between the text and their background knowledge. In other words, fluent readers recognize words and comprehend at the same time. Less fluent readers, however, must focus their attention on figuring out the words, leaving them little attention for understanding the
Recently, for my practicum, I taught a basic computer skills class. In that class, we worked on Microsoft Word processing skills and the assessment that I would like to examine is the observation of students. I have done many informal observations in the past to gauge how well students can manage to do work on their own. However, as it says on page 141, systematic observations are much more effective at evaluating student behavior and progress while providing a path for teachers to give feedback to their students (Brown & Abeywickrama, 2010). Further on page 141, experienced teachers are likened to intuitive geniuses when observing their students and on that page it states “experienced teachers are so good at this almost subliminal process of assessment that their estimates of a
