MAP/CONCEPT MAP OF LEARNING THEORIES

Cognitive Behavioral Technology activity: __#|Students__ will create a power point based on the four developmental stages of Piaget, including information about Piaget. Instructional activity: Students will discuss the four stages of development introduced by Piaget. Piaget was born in 1896 in Neuchâtel, in the Francophone region of Switzerland. His father, Arthur Piaget, was a professor of medieval literature at the __#|University of__ Neuchâtel. Piaget was a precocious child who developed an interest in biology and the natural world. His theory of cognitive development and epistemological view are together called "genetic epistemology".He believed answers for the epistemological questions at his time could be answered, or better proposed, if one looked to the genetic aspect of it, hence his experimentations with children and adolescents. Piaget considered cognitive structures development as a differentiation of biological regulations. In one of his last books, "Equilibration of Cognitive Structures: The Central Problem of Intellectual Development" (ISBN 978-022666781), he intends to explain knowledge development as a process of equilibration using two main concepts in his theory, assimilation and accommodation, as belonging not only to biological interactions but also to cognitive ones. Behaviorist Instruction activity: Students will role play different types of behaviors displayed by students. Technology activity: Students will create a concept map describing the behaviors performed during the role play. Behaviorism, also called the learning perspective (where any physical action is a behavior), is a philosophy of __#|psychology__ based on the proposition that all things that organisms do—including acting, thinking and feeling—can and should be regarded as behaviors. This theory was first mentioned by a fellow name Burrhus Frederic Skinner. Skinner was born March 20, 1904, in the small Pennsylvania town of Susquehanna. His father was a lawyer, and his mother a strong and intelligent housewife. His upbringing was old-fashioned and hard-working. Later, after he had finished college and so forth, he proposed operant conditioning. Social Activism Instructional activity: Students will be placed into groups to discuss how one should behave at different social gatherings. Technology activity: Students will role play while being video taped. John Dewey was born on October 20, 1859, the third of four sons born to Archibald Sprague Dewey and Lucina Artemesia Rich of Burlington, Vermont. A theory by John Dewey who believed learning should be hands-on and experienced based and that meaning learning results from students working together on tasks realted to their interests. Child Development Technology activity: Students will create power point based on the five stages. Instructional activity: Students will write an essay about the five stages of development introduced by Erikson. Born in Frankfurt to Danish parents, Erik Erikson's lifelong interest in the psychology of identity may be traced to his childhood. He was born on June 15, 1902 as a result of his mother's extramarital affair, and the circumstances of his birth were concealed from him in his childhood. His mother, Karla Abrahamsen, came from a prominent Jewish family in Copenhagen, her mother Henrietta died when Karla was only 13. Erikson's greatest innovation was to postulate not five stages of development, as Sigmund Freud had done with his psychosexual stages, but eight, and then later added a ninth stage in his book "The Life Cycle Completed." Erik Erikson believed that every human being goes through a certain number of stages to reach his or her full development, theorizing eight stages, that a human being goes through from birth to death Discovery Learning Instruction activity: Students will plant a butter bean in containers provided. __#|Technology__ activity: Students will create a manual journal that documents the growth of the bean plant. Discovery Learning is a method of inquiry-based instruction and is considered a constructivist based approach to education.

Jerome Bruner is often credited with originating discovery learning in the 1960s, but his ideas are very similar those of earlier writers (e.g. John Dewey). Bruner argues that “Practice in discovering for oneself teaches one to acquire information in a way that makes that information more readily viable in problem solving" (Bruner, 1961, p. 26). This philosophy later became the discovery learning movement of the 1960s. The mantra of this philosophical movement suggests that we should 'learn by doing'. In 1991, The Grauer School, a private secondary school in Encinitas, California, was founded with the motto, "Learn by Discovery ," and integrated a series of world-wide expeditions into their program for high school graduation. (See Expeditionary Learning.)

Discovery learning takes place in problem solving situations where the learner draws on his own experience and prior knowledge and is a method of instruction through which students interact with their environment by exploring and manipulating objects, wrestling with questions and controversies, or performing experiments. Systems Instructional activity: Students will identify the three major domains of systems. Technology activity: Students will type a research paper based on the three major domains; including the four integratable domains of system inquiry. Systems theory is the transdisciplinary study of systems in general, with the goal of elucidating principles that can be applied to all types of systems in all fields of research. Ludwig von Bertalanffy was born and grew up in the little village of Atzgersdorf (now Liesing) near Vienna. The Bertalanffy family had roots in the 16th century nobility of Hungary which included several scholars and court officials.[1] His grandfather Charles Joseph von Bertalanffy (1833–1912) had settled in Austria and was a state theatre director in Klagenfurt, Graz, and Vienna, which were important positions in imperial Austria. Ludwig's father Gustav von Bertalanffy (1861–1919) was a prominent railway administrator. On his mother's side Ludwig's grandfather Joseph Vogel was an imperial counsellor and a wealthy Vienna publisher. Ludwig's mother Charlotte Vogel was seventeen when she married the thirty-four year old Gustav. They divorced when Ludwig was ten, and both remarried outside the Catholic Church in civil ceremonies. Information Processing The information processing theory approach to the study of cognitive development evolved out of the American experimental tradition in psychology. The theory is based on the idea that humans process the information they receive, rather than merely responding to stimuli. The information processing theory approach to the study of cognitive development evolved out of the American experimental tradition in psychology. George A. Miller was born February 3, 1920, in Charleston, West Virginia. In 1940 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Alabama and in 1946 he received his Ph.D. in Psychology from Harvard University. Scaffolding Instruction activity: The students will be paired with others who have different perspectives (reciprocal scaffolding) to discuss the latest events. Technology activity: The computers replace the teachers as the experts or guides, and students will be guided with web links, online tutorials, etc.(technical scaffolding) Vygotsky was born in Orsha, in the Russian Empire (today in Belarus) into a nonreligious Jewish family. He was influenced by his cousin, David Vygotsky. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1917. In the mid-1920s, he worked at the Institute of Psychology and other educational, research, and clinical institutions in Moscow, Leningrad, and Kharkov where he extensively investigated ideas about cognitive development. Scaffolding represents the helpful interactions between adult and child that enable the child to do something beyond his or her independent efforts. A scaffold is a temporary framework that is put up for support and access to meaning and taken away as needed when the child secures control of success with a task. Multiple Intelligences Instructional Activity: Students will complete the intelligence profile sheet to determine what category he/she falls under Technology Activity: Students will create a concept map that identifies the seven intelligences and give detail information about each. Howard Earl Gardner (born July 11, 1943 in Scranton, Pennsylvania) is an American developmental psychologist who is a professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. He is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner was the recipient of a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981 and the 1990 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Education. Since 1995, he has been the co-director of the GoodWork Project. In 2011 he won the Prince of Asturias Award in Social Sciences. Gardner's Theory of multiple intelligences states not only do human beings have several different ways of learning and processing information, but these methods are independent of one another: leading to multiple "intelligences" as opposed to a general intelligence factor among correlated abilities. As of 1999 Gardner listed seven intelligences: linguistic, logic-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal.
