What should teachers do after analyzing data Reteach, differentiate, provide intervention, or extend learning
Skinner Operant conditioning; behavior is shaped by reinforcement and consequences after the behavior
Pavlov Classical conditioning; a cue or signal becomes associated with an automatic response
Thorndike Law of Effect; behaviors followed by successful or satisfying outcomes are more likely to be repeated
Piaget Cognitive development and developmental readiness; students move from concrete to abstract thinking
Bruner Discovery learning and spiral curriculum; students build understanding through guided exploration
Vygotsky Social constructivism; students learn through scaffolding, support, and interaction with others
Gagné Structured instructional sequence; effective teaching follows organized lesson steps
Dewey Experiential learning; students learn through meaningful real-world experiences and reflection
Gardner Multiple intelligences; students learn and demonstrate understanding in different ways
Maslow Hierarchy of needs; students’ basic needs must be met before learning can fully happen
Operant conditioning Behavior is shaped by what happens after the behavior; associated with Skinner
Classical conditioning A cue or signal becomes linked to a learned response; associated with Pavlov
Law of Effect A behavior that leads to success is more likely to happen again; associated with Thorndike
Developmental readiness Whether students are cognitively ready for a type of learning; associated with Piaget
Discovery learning Students build understanding by exploring patterns and ideas; associated with Bruner
Spiral curriculum Important ideas are revisited over time at deeper levels; associated with Bruner
Structured instructional sequence A lesson moves through organized steps such as attention, objectives, guided practice, feedback, and assessment; associated with Gagné
Scaffolding Temporary support that helps students complete a task until they can do it independently; associated with Vygotsky
Zone of Proximal Development The space between what a student can do alone and what they can do with help; associated with Vygotsky
Experiential learning Learning through authentic experience and reflection; associated with Dewey
