Learning Strategies:
Teacher presentation of material in class
Teacher demonstration of material in class
Teacher's hand outs/textbooks
Asking teacher questions
Listening to others ask questions and listening to the answer
Asking other students
Group work
Personal research
Informal/formal discussion of topic in different setting
Essential Question:
How are we going to teach Neuroscience to all students with various learning styles without just having them memorize. Does the students environment and interests aid in their learning?
Key Questions: that we would ask in order to create the most effective learning style
How do you learn?
What learning style suits you best?
What enviroment do you learn best in? Loud, silent etc.
What kind of help do you need from the teacher?
Are you actually interested in Neuroscience?
If not what are you interested in?
Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences states that each person is intelligent and learns in a different way. We will attempt to help students discover what environment they learn best in and also pique their interests in psychology. We hypothesize that if the enviroment is conducive to the students personal learning style, the students will learn quickly and without just memorization. Unless that is how they learn best.
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. We want students to move beyond the first stage of just remembering and end up reaching the stage analysis and evaluation.By making the students interested in the topic by relating it to their already existing interests, we will help them move up to deeper more analytical and natural learning.
Due to the interest in the material students will engage in learning outside the class room. The teachers role would be for clarification and answering questions, unless some students prefer the lecturing method.
I really like the idea of outside research by the student...TRULY the real world work of a psychologist...
