| Mind/ concept map | visual diagram- single concept- systematically- associative representation of ideas- images, words, symbols etc, branches- connected nodal structure |
| brainstorming | generate new ideas and solutions- individually/ group group problem solving technique |
| think pair-share (TPS) | cooperative learning technique- instructors pose a ques, students first think themselves and discuss w person sitting next to them |
| fishbowl technique | separation into inner (students discuss) and outer circle (listen and make notes). exchange in and out, develop listening and speaking skills |

| BLOOMS TAXONOMY (classification), name, year | Domains of Learning- Benjamin Bloom- 1956 categorise edu goals- 3 learning domains- COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND PSYCHOMOTOR (hierarv\chy assigned- basis- diff levels of learning) |
| Cognitive domain | SIX- 1- knowledge < 2-c omprehension < 3- application < 4- analysis (todh) < 5- synthesis (jodh) < 6- evaluation |
| Psychomotor Domain | FIVE- 1- imitation < 2- manipulation (some changes) < 3- precision < 4- articulation < 5- naturalisation |
| Affective domain- value, attitude, behaviour, personality | FIVE- 1- receiving < 2- responding < 3- valuing < 4- organisation < 5- characterisation |
| BLOOMS TAXONOMY REVISED, year | 2001, change in cognitive domain |
| 2001, change in cognitive domain | SIX- 1- remember <2- understand <3- apply < 4- analyse <5- evaluate <6- create |
| models of teaching | essentially models of learning- aquire know., info., ideas, skills, values and ways of thinking: description of learning environment including teaching behaviour |
| models of teaching- how many? what? | THREE- PEDAGOGY < ANDRAGOGY < HEUTAGOGY like a continuum- depending on learner maturity |
| PEDAGOGY (children's learning) | teacher- entire responsibility- lead learning teacher- centred approach |
| ANDRAGOGY (adult's learning) | learner- more independence teacher- facilitator/ guide student- centred approach |
| HEUTAGOGY ( self-directed learning) | learner- motivated to satisfy need for competence while instructor only sets outcomes and provides guidance and formative feedback |
| Cognitive development theory (CDT) | JEAN PIAGET- children's cognitive development, in stages |
| Stages of CDT | Four |
| CDT stage 1 | SENSORIMOTOR (0-2)- learn from environment- REFLEXES, SENSES, MOTOR ACTIVITIES |

| formative evaluation | assess development or progress of a course to improve effectiveness. teacher clarifies doubts during class. DURING THE LEARNING period. provide feedback to students and teachers- tests, quizzes, discussions |
| summative evaluation- another name | IMPACT EVALUATION |
| summative evaluation | END OF LEARNING period- final grade for performance. MORE RELIABLE. formal in nature- semester exams, boards, final grades |

| CRT- criterion-referenced testing | measure performance against fixed set of criteria or learning standards; score independent of now others perform. PERCENTAGE, proficiency |
| NRT- Norm-referenced testing | compares student's know/ skills to know/ skills of norm group/ selected group of test-takers. Competition. PERCENTILE, rank |
