Accommodations for students with exceptionalities | Presentation, setting, timing/scheduling, and response. Don't change what the student learns, but how the student learns. |
Thorndike | Law of Effect: Behavior followed by pleasant consequences will be repeated. Not pleaseant will be stopped. |
Watson | Classical Conditioning: 2 stimuli are linked together to produce a new learned response. Bully at school - Associate fear and school |
Maslow | Hierarchy of Needs: The needs that motivate human behavior. Physiological (food, shelter) - Safety - Love and belonging - Esteem - Self-Actualization |
Attribution | Features or characteristics of someone |
Extrinsic Motivation | Behavior driven by money, fame, grades, etc. |
Intrinsic Motivation | Behavior that you do for yourself (read a book because you want to learn about the material, you're not forced to) |
Strategies for helping students develop self-motivation | Assigning valuable tasks, providing frequent positive feedback, student choice in activities, and de-emphasizing grades |
Gardner | Multiple Intelligences: Musical-rhythmic and harmonic. Visual-spatial. Verbal-linguistic. Logical-mathematical. Bodily-kinesthetic. Interpersonal. Intrapersonal. Naturalistic. |
Cultural Expectations | Close talking vs. Distant talking. Nonverbals. Eye contact. Greeting a person (handshake, hug, kiss on cheek). Don't want to speak in front of class. Language. |
Basic Concepts of Cognitivism | Schema, information processing, and mapping |
