Description of Transactional Analysis and Games by Dr. Eric Berne MD. The following is an introductory description of Transactional Analysis. It is designed to be understood by the layperson, written with approximately the same level of complexity that Berne used for Games People Play. Psychoanalysis before Eric Berne While there were many theories purporting to explain human behavior before Eric Berne, the most frequently cited and known is the work of Sigmund Freud.
Freud emerged in the early 20th century with his theories about personality. Freud believed that personality had three components, all of which must work together to produce our complex behaviors. These three components or aspects were the Id, Ego, and the Superego. It was Freud’s belief that these three components needed to be well-balanced to produce reasonable mental health and stability in an individual. But perhaps Freud’s greatest contribution (and the one that influenced Berne) was the fact that the human personality is multi-faceted. Another scientist whose contributions impacted Dr. How The Memory Works In Learning. How The Memory Works In Learning By Dr. Judy Willis, M.D., M.Ed. Teachers are the caretakers of the development of students’ highest brain during the years of its most extensive changes.
As such, they have the privilege and opportunity to influence the quality and quantity of neuronal and connective pathways so all children leave school with their brains optimized for future success. This introduction to the basics of the neuroscience of learning includes information that should be included in all teacher education programs. It is intentionally brief such that it can be taught in a single day of instruction. Ideally there would be additional opportunities for future teachers to pursue further inquiry into the science of how the brain learns, retrieves, and applies information. Teaching Grows Brain Cells It was once believed that brain cell growth stops after age twenty.

Learning Theory v5 - What are the established learning theories? Vygotsky's constructivism. Chad Galloway The University of Georgia Vygotsky's Theories The work of Lev Vygotsky and other developmental psychologists has become the foundation of much research and theory in developmental cognition over the past several decades, particularly of what has become known as social development theory.
Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition (Vygotsky, 1978; Wertsch, 1985), as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning. " Unlike Piaget's notion that children's development must necessarily precede their learning, Vygotsky argued, "learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally organized, specifically human psychological function" (1978, p. 90). In other words, social learning tends to precede development. The MKO In fact, the MKO need not be a person at all. The ZPD Caption: In the animation, a bar with many divisions is presented.

Activity-Based Learning Andragogy Flow Play. Effective learning retention rate research fact by Edgar Dale. Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.
Benjamin Bloom’s (1956) prominent work is the development of the Taxonomy Anderson, et al. (2001), defines taxonomy as a special kind of framework that classifies objectives. They explain that “a statement of an objective contains a verb and a noun. The verb generally describes the intended cognitive process. The noun generally describes the knowledge students are expected to acquire or construct.” For example: “The student will learn to distinguish (the cognitive process) among confederal, federal, and unitary systems of government (the knowledge)” (pp. 4-5). of Educational Objectives. Educational objectives are the written statements of what educators expect their students to learn by the end of instruction (Krathwohl, 2002). Since its publication in 1956, Bloom’s taxonomy has been translated into 22 different languages (Forehand, 2005; Krathwohl, 2002). Description of the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Table of the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Main Elements of the Taxonomy.
Developing higher order thinking skills in your learners. By Rachel Jones: (extract) All teachers work in one way or another using taxonomy. Many of us use Blooms hierarchical taxonomy, which sets out levels of learning from Understanding, through various stages to Analysis, right through to Evaluate towards the zenith of the pyramid, with Create at the top.
This was designed to promote higher order thinking skills in education, and is really useful for encouraging teachers to consider Metacognition- the actual processes of how students learn. Of course there is also SOLO Taxonomy, which has been embedded into teaching practice, allowing students reach towards an extended abstract. Whichever taxonomy you use as educators, we should be guiding our learners to achieve their potential and beyond. As a happy coincidence many exam boards ask questions that reward higher order thinking- so encouraging your learners to operate at this level is worth your time, in terms of skills gained as well as potentially improving student outcomes. 5 Common Misconceptions About Bloom's Taxonomy. 5 Common Misconceptions About Bloom’s Taxonomy by Grant Wiggins, Authentic Education Admit it–you only read the list of the six levels of the Taxonomy, not the whole book that explains each level and the rationale behind the Taxonomy.
Not to worry, you are not alone: this is true for most educators. But that efficiency comes with a price. 1. This is false. The essential behavior in interpretation is that when given a communication the student can identify and comprehend the major ideas which are included in it as well as understand their interrelationships. Not only is this higher-order thinking – summary, main idea, conditional and cautious reasoning, etc. – it is a level not reached by half of our students in reading, as I noted in my recent post on the sad results in literacy assessment over the past decades. And by the way: the phrases “lower-order” and “higher-order” appear nowhere in the Taxonomy. 2.
This is not true, a misreading of the word “apply”, as the text makes clear. 3. 4. Learning Theories, Learning Models, Learning Theory Summaries - in Plain English! Vygotsky's constructivism. Emotional Intelligence theories - Daniel Goleman's EQ concepts. This webpage is a new format for mobile/small screens. Please send your feedback if it fails to operate well. Thanks. emotional intelligence theory (EQ - Emotional Quotient) Emotional Intelligence - EQ - is a relatively recent behavioural model, rising to prominence with Daniel Goleman's 1995 Book called 'Emotional Intelligence'.
The early Emotional Intelligence theory was originally developed during the 1970s and 80s by the work and writings of psychologists Howard Gardner (Harvard), Peter Salovey (Yale) and John 'Jack' Mayer (New Hampshire). Emotional Intelligence is increasingly relevant to organizational development and developing people, because the EQ principles provide a new way to understand and assess people's behaviours, management styles, attitudes, interpersonal skills, and potential. The EQ concept argues that IQ, or conventional intelligence, is too narrow; that there are wider areas of Emotional Intelligence that dictate and enable how successful we are. Paving the way. Situated learning. This clumsy phrase is the central principle of a quite different kind of learning theory, situated learning, which is primarily social rather than psychological and originates from Lave and Wenger (1991).
Based on case-studies of how newcomers learn in various occupational groups which are not characterised by formal training, they suggest that legitimate peripheral participation is the key. The case-studies include traditional midwives in Yucatan, tailors in Liberia, butchers in supermarkets, and quartermasters in the US Marine Corps. (I am not quite clear what quartermasters do in that service, but it is clearly different from in UK services) It may be clumsy but it is worth almost as much as "Zone of Proximal Development" in the jargon stakes More The model has a number of implications: Knowledge is defined as what is done, and as far as I can gather its rationale is subordinate to its embodiment (pardon the language). (Lave and Wenger, 1991:93) (Amplification in brackets inserted) Group Development. Using the Class Group Groups take time to develop. How long, of course, is impossible to specify.
It depends on size, frequency of interaction, structural features, and so on. However, one of the best-known bits of literature on groups is Tuckman's model of group development, based on a meta-analysis of the complex models which had previously been developed. It has the virtue of being memorable, but the limitation of being rather rigid. Forming: in which the group is just coming together. Storming: in which, having been established, there is a period of jockeying for position, authority and influence among the members.
Norming: having sorted out its internal structure, there is then the issue of what the group stands for. Performing: after all that, the group can begin to get some work done, on the basis of a relatively stable structure. The diagram is non-standard in that it shows this process not as a linear sequence, but as a cycle, after the initial forming. The importance of Storming.
