Outline and evaluate one or more social psychological theories of aggression? The social learning theory suggests that children learn aggressive behaviour from other significant individuals acting aggressively. A way in which children learn is called vicarious reinforcement and it’s when someone is rewarded for being aggressive. As a result they also act aggressively when reward follows however they will also learn not to act aggressively when punishment will be a consequence of their actions. In order for social learning to take place, the child must form a metal representation of the behaviour he/she observed.
The Reporting and Assessment Advice ensures that outcomes of these environments are communicated regularly to parents providing them with “easily understood information about how their child is progressing and plans for future learning.” Through my teaching practices, I mindful that my teaching strategies and abilities need to combine with those set out in the initiatives and methodologies to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for all students. My studies and practices have given me the opportunity to apply my understanding and knowledge of the stated
Formative Assessment in tracking learner progress Formative assessment (assessment for learning) is engaged during a course or programme. This is the type of assessment used and it allows teachers to adjust targets and objectives to suit the student until they develop skills and become more confident. Formative assessment is usually informal (Formative informal) and can take place at any time during the teaching and learning process. Feedback from formative assessment will be beneficial to both student and teacher as it not only allows the student to recognize their success and look at areas for development but it allows the teacher to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and look to improve on future sessions. Formative assessment is often seen as being motivational as it can be seen as a review rather than an assessment.
Agreeing individual learning plans (ILPs) and/or action plans can help formalise this. During sessions, I try to include my learners by asking individual questions, taking time to give help and support, using eye contact, using names and encouraging paired and group activities etc. Inclusion involves ensuring that all support systems in the organisation are available to those learners who need it. Ways to promote inclusion include: • ascertaining individual needs, learning preferences and goals • being approachable and accessible, enabling learners to feel comfortable to disclose concerns • challenging stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice as it happens • differentiating activities to address individual differences; for example, different abilities and levels • using resources and materials which positively promote all aspects of community and society, equality and diversity. Carrying out an icebreaker and agreeing ground rules can help the session flow smoothly.
Simple Stimulus Learning April A. Contreras PSY 550 September 5, 2011 Dr. Thomas Pourchot Simple Stimulus Learning Learning is a process that is taken since birth. For the most part, learning is based on habituation because it is a matter of adapting to new sounds, climates, or surroundings. Another good way to learn is by perceptual learning. Identifying a new task, visual stimuli, discriminating stimuli, and finding the positive and negative effects of the stimuli also helps the learning process. However, people and animals prefer to learn with familiar stimuli than with unfamiliar stimuli.
Also I need to create effective and stimulating opportunities for learning through high quality teaching that enables the development and progression of all learners. My role as a teacher is to plan my sessions by doing lesson plans, preparing teaching materials, assessing my learners, evaluating myself and my delivery, completing attendance records, and maintaining records of learner progress e.g. interviews, tutorials, assessments, etc. As a teacher I also need to exercise a duty of care for my learners, ensuring they are inducted to the company and course, carrying out one to one tutorials and reviews with learners, following professional values and ethics, acting and speaking appropriately and standardising practice with others. I will also need to attend meetings, mark work, attend promotional events and exhibitions and refer learners to other people or agencies when necessary.
Involving young people in planning and reflecting on their own learning through assessment, evaluation and personal learning planning is essential and this is the responsibility of all practitioners regardless of the learning setting. Universal support will help young people to identify and plan opportunities for achievement through activities covering a full range of contexts and settings, whilst meeting individual needs and providing effective learning activities that address barriers across the curriculum in every context and setting. Additional Support Some young people will benefit from additional or targeted support, tailored to their individual circumstances. This could be at any point of their learning journey or, for some, throughout the journey. 1.2 explain the role of practitioners in providing impartial information and advice to children and young people 1 Young people are informed about how information, advice and guidance services can help them and how to access the services they need.
The V.A.R.K Assessment Tool Learning is a process each individual person experiences from the day we are born into the world. Daily, our parents, teachers, priests, neighbors and even our children all deliver to us information that we responsible of absorbing and maintaining until we need later in life. Individuals learn at different paces and from different perspectives. The processing of information can be challenging at times for one individual and quite easy for another depending on the style in which the lesson is being taught. Therefore, it is imperative that in the learning process, individuals are well equipped with the appropriate learning preference in order to allow more efficiency and help eliminate exhaustion of needed time for learning.
As we go on to find out later on in the essay, passing and failing, has a major role in the individuals’ engagement towards a task. In the essay I will be looking at the different types of motivation and how they affect engagement and the effect it has on different types of people. Motivation and the concept of passing and failing are not the only two factors which affect engagement though. The idea of pupil and teacher involvement has a major role in improving or diminishing engagement, as well as different learning styles individual’s can have affects one’s level of engagement, and how the individuals’ background can affect their engagement towards a certain task. Learning is process of maturation or change, and can even be possibly both of these in some cases, but this does not necessarily make genetic endowment a part of the process of learning.
From the moment we are born to the day we die, we are constantly learning new things. Some people associate learning only with school or other educational institutes, but we learn in different places and situations our life. In the 1930s, American psychologist B.F.Skinner proposed that learning is the result of the application of consequences. It means that any behavior that has good consequences will tend to be repeated, and any behavior that has bad consequences will tend to be avoided. B. F. Skinner defined this method of learning as a “Operant conditioning”: the type of learning in which voluntary reply is strengthened if it is positively reinforced and weakened if it is punished.
