03 Feb increase in requests

Week 1 discussion DQ1 It has been suggested that the best prediction of a child’s learning is based on what they already know. Do you agree with this statement? What other factors do you think influence how a child learns? DQ2 What do you do to learn and remember the things that you read in your textbooks? What do your teachers do to help you learn and remember course information? What retrieval cues do you provide for yourself? Do you sometimes find yourself forgetting to do something because you did not give yourself a retrieval cue? Which of the recommendations presented in the assigned readings should minimize the likelihood of retrieval failure? Reconstruction error? Interference? Decay? Failure to store? Week 2 discussion DQ1 What is diversity in the sense of self development and social development? How do you think it influences a person’s positive social-developmental outcomes such as trust, moral development, and social competence? DQ2 Do you think your own social development will affect who you will be as a teacher? Explain why or why not. Week 3 discussion DQ1 Based on your reading, are children who reach developmental milestones (walking, talking) earlier than their peers the same ones who have higher academic ability in later years? Support your answer using the principles of physical, cognitive, and/or linguistic development with a specific example. DQ2 What strategies can teachers use to make socioeconomic differences between students less visible in the classroom? Which strategies will you apply in your future classroom? Why? Week 4 discussion DQ1 How can parents and guardians foster English language and vocabulary development at home? How might this be affected if the parents’/guardians’ primary language is not English? DQ2 It has been said that the way we view the world is directly tied to the language we learn to describe it. What examples can you think of where language reflects culturally-based perspectives? Week 5 discussion DQ1 In J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998), schoolmaster Albus Dumbledore says, “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities” (p. 333). Interpret his statement in light of what you know about motivation. DQ2 What are some possible advantages of competition? What are some possible disadvantages of competition? How do teachers and schools promote competition? How might teachers make classrooms less competitive? How might teachers increase students’ willingness to take risks in the classroom? Week 6 discussion DQ1 The textbook identifies several examples of primary and secondary reinforcers. Can you think of other examples of primary reinforcers? Of secondary reinforcers? What are possible advantages and disadvantages of using concrete reinforcers in the classroom? In what situations might concrete reinforcers be the only effective reinforcers? DQ2 As a classroom teacher, what strategies might you use to minimize and/or extinguish potentially aggressive behavior in the classroom? Week 7 discussion DQ1 Researchers have identified several factors that lead to an increase in requests for help. How can teachers encourage students to seek help when they need it without encouraging students to be overly dependent on others? DQ2 Think about your own experiences as a student and classroom activities that were especially effective. What aspects of those activities made them effective? Provide one example each of when an expository instructional strategy, hands-on practice activity, and interactive and collaborative approach are appropriate in a classroom. For one of the examples, describe the activity you would create for your future classroom.
