It is intended for those teaching in either schools, colleges, universities or work-based learning – indeed for anyone interested in learning and teaching. Part 1 explores the emotional and practical needs which all learners have. Part 2 gives very detailed advice on the use of the most common teaching methods or learning strategies. Part 3 looks at how to make and use learning resources. Part 4 shows you how to go about planning lessons and courses, how to measure their effectiveness, and how to improve them. Part 5 is about your role and responsibil- ity as a teacher and how you work within your institution. Many teacher training courses start with Part 5, but you will of course fi nd that the earlier parts will greatly help your understanding of Part 5. For decades I taught an ‘ordinary timetable’ and trained teachers. So, whilst devel- oping my ideas and writing this book, I have had my nose rubbed daily in the messy reality of learning and teaching. If my ideas don’t work – well, my students are the fi rst to make this clear. I hope you will be able to learn from both my successes and my failures, and so take George Bernard Shaw’s advice: ‘Only a fool learns from experience; a wise man learns from the experience of others’. I am impatient with jargon, so throughout the book I have used the word ‘teacher’ to mean any of the following: ‘teacher’, ‘lecturer’, ‘trainer’, ‘instructor’ or ‘facilita- tor’. Similarly, I have used the words ‘student’ and ‘learner’ interchangeably, in places where I could also have written ‘pupil’, ‘trainee’, ‘course participant’ or ‘candidate’. In the lists of further reading at the end of each chapter, particularly useful or noteworthy books are signalled by an asterisk, with an additional comment where appropriate. I would like to thank Liz Singh for her unshakeable faith, her insistence that I make sense, and for her cartoons and drawings. This new edition includes some of what I have learned in studying for and writing Evidence Based Teaching, so it is informed by research. It has been extensively updated to meet the new standards for teachers in schools, and the new standards for teachers in the ‘lifelong learning’ or ‘post-compulsory’ sector. Geoff Petty, 2008 v A01.indd v 2/3/09 16:41:05 A01.indd vi 2/3/09 16:41:05 Help with your teacher training assessments Before attempting any assessment or assignment, read Chapter 28 which helps you to structure your writing (and that of your students). You are likely to be set assign- ments on the following topics. In each case I give chapters that will help you. The legislative requirements of a teacher: see the end of Chapter 7. Creating and evaluating a teaching resource: Chapters 35 and 36 are obviously relevant, but read about ‘graphic organisers’ on pages 158 to 162 and ‘decisions, decisions’ on page 257 too. To evaluate a resource see pages 400 and 409. Inclusion, personalisation etc. (making sure everyone learns well): highly related are equality, diversity and differentiation. Read Chapters 7 and 47 to see the individual differences and how they are discovered. Chapter 41 considers how to design a course that deals with these differences. Appendix 2 on differentiation looks at how to design lessons to deal with differences; the introduction to Part 2 deals with modern approaches to learning styles. Equality and diversity: see Chapters 7 and 41; also consider the chapters under inclusion above. Embedding functional skills or key skills or thinking skills into your teaching: see Chapters 38 and 42, especially the bits about double-decker lessons on pages 441 and 486; also see Chapter 30. Communication: see Chapter 4, ‘graphic organisers’ on page 158; see also Chapters 11, 12 and 13. Principles of learning: see Chapters 1–4 and 43. Writing lesson plans and schemes of work: see Chapters 37–40 and 42; see Chapter 41 for a top grade! What records should I keep?: see Chapter 41. What assessment methods should I use?: see Chapters 43 and 44; see Chapter 6 is also relevant. Evaluating my lessons and courses: see Chapters 46 and 49. Refl ective essay, refl ective learning journal: read Chapter 46. Relation of theory to practice: see Chapters 1 and 46. Professional values and codes of practice: see Chapter 45; see also Appendix 1 on standards which are also codes of practice. Government policies: see www.dcsf.gov.uk, then try arguing that most are wrong- headed and that we should be following evidence-based practice – see the fi rst few chapters of my Evidence Based Teaching! It really helps to look at the contents page carefully, so you know where to fi nd things. vii A01.indd vii 2/3/09 16:41:05 A01.indd viii 2/3/09 16:41:05 1 1 Part The learner’s practical and emotional needs How do we learn? Learning and memory What was the weather like on 4 March last year? You knew once! Psychologists are still not sure how we remember and why we forget, but they believe the process of remembering involves information passing from our short-term memory into our long-term memory. Information may be stored in the short-term memory for as little as a few seconds. The long-term memory can store information for a lifetime, but nearly all of what passes through our brain is promptly forgotten. The short-term memory (STM) An unfortunate man who has lost his short-term memory (STM), as a result of a head injury in a car accident, can still tell his doctor in great detail what he did in the war.

  • The Role of Educational Psychology in the Teaching Process Within an EFL Classroom
    People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Mohamed Khieder-Biskra Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of Foreign Languages Division of English The Role of Educational Psychology in the Teaching Process within an EFL Classroom: Case study of Third Year LMD students-University of Biskra Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Master Degree in English Option: Science of Languages. Submitted by: Supervised by: Moufida BOUAFFAR Mrs. Iman GUETTEL Members of the Jury: Houadjly Ahmed Chaouki Bencherf Sakina June 2012 BOUAFFAR 1 INTRODUCTION Educational psychology is the branch of psychology focused on the development of effective teaching techniques and the assessment of learners’ aptitudes and progress. In another words, educational psychology is the study of the behavior, social, ethical, and cognitive development of students during their growth from children to adult learners. Educational psychologists develop and apply theories of teaching, learning, and human development to determine the most effective ways for educators to teach students. The present research is an investigation on the role of educational psychology in the teaching process (EFL). The intention of this work is to carry out the strategies, techniques, and methods that are improving and developing the strategies of teaching. The aim of this study is to investigate to what extent educational psychology helps teachers for achieving the objectives of teaching and increasing their efficiency. 1. The statement of the problem: Nowadays, we observe a huge distance between teachers and students. The cause of this distance is the lack of teachers’ knowledge about the educational psychology and its values in teaching.

Berring, Jr. Spring 2007 On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning through Library and Information Science Intermediation Copyright © 2007 by Allan Mark Konrad All rights reserved ProQuest/UMI requests that authors provide indemnification to ProQuest/UMI. The author, Allan M Konrad, does not indemnify ProQuest/UMI. Abstract On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning through Library and Information Science Intermediation by Allan Mark Konrad Doctor of Philosophy in Information Management and Systems University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Buckland, Chair Library and Information Science (LIS) is centrally concerned with providing instruments (documents, organization, bibliographies, indexes) to enable people to become better informed through use of documents. The relationship between how people become informed and LIS intermediation, the Basic Relationship, is fundamental to the theory, practice, and professional education of LIS. This Basic Relationship and how it is understood in the field is investigated through analysis of selected LIS texts according to criteria derived from principles of Assimilation Theory, grounded in educational psychology, integrated with complementary ideas from the cognate fields of ancient rhetoric, cognitive linguistics, philosophy, and communications studies.

    9/17/2021 Psychological Foundation of Education: Relationship of Education and Psychology- Examrace Examrace Psychological Foundation of Education: Relationship of Education and Psychology Get top class preparation for CA/Foundation right from your home: get questions, notes, tests, video lectures and more- for all subjects of CA/Foundation. Relationship of Education and Psychology Psychology is considered as the scientific study of mental processes, experiences and behaviour. It is concerned with prediction and control of behaviour. Psychology is science of behaviour and education is modification of behaviour. Therefore, Educational Psychology is concerned with the development, evaluation and application of theories and principles of human learning and instruction. There are three elements or focal points which come under the psychological perspective of education or teaching – learning process: The Learner: The learner or the educed is the central focus of teaching learning system. Learning process: The process by which people change their behaviour, improve performance, recognize their thinking or become familiar with new concept and information or knowledge. Learning situation: The learning situation refers to the environment in which learner gets involved into various kinds of learning experiences. Learning: Psychological Interpretation Learning occurs when experience causes a relatively permanent change in an individual՚s knowledge or behaviour. Change simply caused by maturation, such as growing taller or turning grey, do not qualify as learning. Cognitive psychologists , who focus on changes in knowledge , believe learning to be a mental activity that cannot be observed directly. The behavioural view, generally assumes that the outcome of learning is change in behaviour and emphasizes the effect of external events on individual.

  • Ausubel’S Assimilation Theory of Learning Author: Novak, Joseph D
    Third Misconceptions Seminar Proceedings (1993) Paper Title: A View on the Current Status of Ausubel’s Assimilation Theory of Learning Author: Novak, Joseph D. Abstract: In the three decades since Ausubel put forward his assimilation theory of congnitive learning, many changes have occurred in the field of educational psychology and the emerging fields of cognitive science and artificial intelligence. This paper is not a review of these developments, but rather a statement on the current status of Ausubel's theory as seen from the perspective of our research group. We see his theory largely unchanged in terms of basic concepts and principles, although new epistemological ideas, recent ideas from cognitive science, and new metacognitive tools permit new perspectives on the power and value of Ausubel's theory. Thus a research paradigm rooted in his theory may take on substantively new characteristics with powerful implications for teaching and learning.

The behaviorist orientation is concerned mostly with the work of Jonn B. Watson and B.F.Skinner some current practices which incorporate behavioristic models ave mentioned. The cognitive orientation is then discussed with mention of the Gestalt psychologists, with Jean Piaget, Ausubel &Bruner, Gagne, and finally with the emphasis of Vygotsky’s “zone of proximal development”. The humanist ovientation talks mostly about the work and theories of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers which differs from the behavioral predetermined orientation by asserting that people can control their own destinies. The article concludes with the author’s humanistic orientation and the rationale for this position.

  • The Spirit of Transfer and Personality: Motivation, Meaning, and Emotion
    CHAPTER 7 The Spirit of Transfer and Personality: Motivation, Meaning, and Emotion Generalization itself will not tell the whole story. To insure transfer, therefore, the atti­ tude in question must de raised to the plane of an ideal and given an emotional tone. —JOHN R. RYAN, Transfer of Training* To say that students must be motivated to learn or that motivation is impor­ tant to education is to state the most obvious of educational clichés. Yet, this chapter emphasizes that often what appears to be the most obvious is what we, in fact, don't clearly see or understand except on a most general level. In recent years, personality and dispositional characteristics of learners have been largely ignored in education. Nevertheless, if you ask anyone inside— or outside—of education if they think attitude, motivation, temperament, and character are something they try to foster in their teaching, the answer will be a resounding yes. But this largely automatic answer typically resonates with a hollow ring. In an article in the American Psychological Association Monitor, Susan Moses observes that Despite a decade of earnest educational restructuring across the country, all the na­ tional statistics still paint the same picture of students' lackluster academic perfor­ mance. At least in part, that's because 1980's-style education reform often ignored issues of student effort and motivation. .. Many students settle for mediocre per­ formance because little is expected from them, experts agreed. Schools admittedly of­ fer few carrots for high achievers.2 More specifically in terms of transfer, Rita Richey in her book, Designing In­ struction for the Adult Learner, notes that "the question of the role of learner at­ titudes ..
