Multiple Intelligence
KEY POINTS:
Students learn in vastly different ways
There are 8 different intelligences that can engage student learning
If a student has a hard time learning an idea, there are different methods to get them to understand
Each of the multiple intelligences develop with practice
Teachers should be use as many of the intellegences as possible in order to engage all of the learners
Why schools exist
-Schools exist in order to prepare the up and coming generation for the real life and the social responsibilities of our culture.
Role of student
-The student should be enabled to showcase their strengths when possible. This raises their competence, and helps other students learn from their peers.
Role of teacher
-The role of the teacher is to think about teaching from all of the different angles that the eight multiple intelligences provide. By having these ideas accessible and laid out, it is possible to incorporate methods that engage different kinds of learners.
Organization of knowledge- How do we learn?
-This theory tells us that there are eight distinct intelligence that really engage people’s learning. Some people are extremely talented in one area and not competent in another. Therefore, some lessons and teaching strategies could completely escape one student while making a huge impact on another. The main thing to take away from this is that there are 8 specific routes of learning.
Uses of learning materials
-Depending on the intelligence being developed, learning materials may play a large role. For the musical intelligence, instruments could be key. However, interpersonal may only require other people to talk to.
Teaching / Instructional strategies
-There are undoubtedly ways to engage every intelligence in every lesson. This may not always be necessary, but as a teacher it is good to know that there are many routes to take with each lesson if one way isn’t working.
Grading, Evaluation, assessment
-Multiple intelligence is less about grading students and more about engaging their minds. The students that do excel should be made examples to raise their competence, but students who do not should try a different intelligence to understand.
John Dewey
ACCORDING TO THIS THEORIST:
KEY POINTS:
Progressive education. The movement toward more democratic and child centered education.
Children learn from hands on, real-life experiences that encourage experimentation
Education should be active and interactive and must involve the social world of the child and the community.
Know the children well and build the curricula to their past experiences and knowledge.
Teachers must help students make sense of the world.
Why schools exist
-Schools exist in order to prepare the up and coming generation for the workforce and the social responsibilities of our culture.
Role of student
-The role of the student is to furnish the starting point for instruction as well as bring their experiences and knowledge into the classroom.
Role of teacher
-The role of the teacher is to be extremely knowledgeable in their content area. They must be able and willing to construct sense of the world for the children on the basis of their greater knowledge. And invest in observation, planning, organization and documentation of the students.
Organization of knowledge- How do we learn?
-Dewey firmly believed that students learn best through hands on educational experiences that build off of their previous knowledge.
Uses of learning materials
In the construction of hands on educational real life experiences, various resources could be needed in order to accurately create these situations.
Teaching / Instructional strategies
-Teaching in line with Dewey’s philosophy first involves the careful observation of students in order to assess their current level of education. From there, the teacher is responsible to create lessons that incorporate their previous knowledge and allow them to build on it. The lessons should allow the students to make discoveries themselves instead of having the teacher tell the students all of the facts and answers.
Grading, Evaluation, assessment
-Evaluation is mostly based on improvement. I think that Dewey was most concerned that students progressed from where they started instead of trying to get them to some uniform level.
Maria Montessori
ACCORDING TO THIS THEORIST:
KEY POINTS:
The learning environment is one of the most important factors educating children
The teacher is in charge of creating and organizing the classroom environment
Observation is key to monitoring student progress and modifying lessons to student’s needs
Real life work gives students confidence and also teaches them useful life skills
Teachers must be extremely informed on their content area
Why schools exist
-Schools exist in order to prepare the up and coming generation for the real life and the social responsibilities of our culture.
Role of student
-The student is in charge of their own learning. Students work their way through problems on their own and in conjunction with their peers. Montessori classrooms are child centered, so the student is always the focus.
Role of teacher
-The role of the teacher is to set up a beautiful and well organized classroom environment. In order to make sure that students have access to the best information it is important that a teacher is extremely knowledgeable in their content area. Lastly, teachers need to be very observant in the classroom. They should take note of the things that are working for the students and the things that are not and then modify their plans from there.
Organization of knowledge- How do we learn?
-Montessori believed that students learn a lot of information from their environment. Therefore, the classroom environment is held as one of the most important factors in educating children.
Uses of learning materials
-Learning materials need to be quality and working. Students pick up knowledge from their environments, so it is extremely important that any tools in the classroom are legitimate.
Teaching / Instructional strategies
-The strategies used in Montessori classrooms mostly put the learning in the hands of the students. The teacher uses their strategies to set up the environment and plan out learning experiences. From there, it is important that they monitor how the experiences are working and go from there.
Grading, Evaluation, assessment
-I think that evaluation students according to Montessori’s ideas comes down taking note of what works and what does not. The main goal in one of these classrooms is to increase student’s competence whenever possible, therefore grades are not the most important.
Erik Erikson
ACCORDING TO THIS THEORIST:
KEY POINTS:
Human beings develop through the coarse of different measurable stages
At each stage, emotional and social development is dependent on the previous stage
Early childhood years are the most critical in development of trust
Child care centers hold a significant role in the development of their students
Toddlers need reasonable opportunities for choice
Why schools exist
-Schools exist in order to prepare the up and coming generation for the real life and the social responsibilities of our culture.
Role of student
-At each stage of life, human beings are in different positions. The role of the student changes from stage to stage with increased attention to different characteristics of development.
Role of teacher
-The role of the teacher depends on the stage of development we are talking about. As a teacher of younger children it is extremely important to give them affection and prove that they can trust you. as these children grow older, the teacher needs to remain a trusted figure who can also empathize with confused pre-teens and teens. Then later on in development, the teacher needs to give students lots of choices and responsibilities while keeping in the mind the strengths being developed.
Organization of knowledge- How do we learn?
-Erikson believes that people learn from interactions with people. Even when children are too young to talk, they are constantly absorbing knowledge from their surroundings. People learn from watching the people around them.
Uses of learning materials
-Learning materials are not as important to Erikson’s work as the people themselves. But rather, the people in the surrounding environment are extremely important.
Teaching / Instructional strategies
-The strategies used range greatly throughout the different stages of development. Early on, it is important to establish trust. Growing older, students need different options and responsibilities, they need to feel empowered.
Grading, Evaluation, assessment
-Grading is not a huge concern in Erikson’s ideas, but rather developing the appropriate skill for the stage they are in. It is hard to evaluate this because of the personal nature of each of the developments, but there is a way to see if children learn the good side of the stage or the bad.
