Case Study
1. I think Haley's fear of men is classical conditioning because he probably had an unconditioned stimulus like a man being mean to her and then her natural unconditioned response was to be afraid of him. Now the conditioned stimulus is every man she sees. Therefore her conditioned response it to be afraid of all men.
2. Meredith's aggressive behavior is a case of operant conditioning. I think this because sometime in her past she behaved badly and she received no negative consequences for her actions. So she continues to behave badly knowing that no one is going to do anything about it.
3. Well I might have to talk to Haley first to see if we could work those her fears. Then through continuous reinforcement of her see that not all men are men she might learn to trust them again. We could also work through her need for her sister or her need to follow others by positive reinforcement of everytime she stands alone. I could call her or have her by my helper on something and then praise her so that she can see that she doesn't need others all the time.
4. For Meredith I think I would start out with removal punishment first. I would let her know that some behaviors such as hurting others in unacceptable and their will be consequences for those actions. Then slowly I would try shaping. I would reward her when she listen to the teacher or is nice to others. I would acknowledged when other students do it as well and praise them and maybe she will follow their example.

Social Cognitivism Case Study Analysis
Case Study
1. Mr. Corbert show examples from the behaviorist theory by using reinforcement. According to the theorist Skinner, when Mr. Corbert praises the others student walking quietly in line the other students are being reinforced. Mr. Corbert also uses theorist, Thorndike's law of effect theory when he tells Johnathan it is not nice to point or tattle. That way Mindy doesn't not want to be revokes for doing such an action.
2. Mindy hears the teacher comment on how a table walks to the line for recess. She then makes an effort to walk to line. She learned by vicarious reinforcement.
3. Mindy hears the teacher tell Johnathan not to point so Mindy learned vicariously that she should not point.
4. Mindy wants to get the approval of her teacher so she behaves in a certain way to achieve a certain goal. She listens to what the teacher approves of and what he does not. She also observes others and notices what is good or bad behavior. Then she tries to act in a certain way.Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Constructivism Case Study Analysis
Case Study
1- Traditional and constructivism lesson plans can both teach the same thing and students can both learn from them. Sometimes it depends on the student on which lesson plan is more effective. A traditional lesson plan would consist of a formatted lesson plan where you guide the students step by step. Then a constructivism lesson would start out with teacher giving them a problem or a question and then the students construct their own way of solving it. So essentially they construct their own learning.
2- I think the constructive lesson plans can benefit your students because they have control of how they are learning so they might work a little harder. Another reason is it is very hands on so students can learn more that way. A draw back might be that it takes longer to teach using this approach. I think it is also hard when the students don't really know what they are doing and you have to watch them fumble through. I think that once your students get the hang of constructivism is a great way for your students to show initiative and thrive in their learning. They will learn independence and learn to figure things out on their own.
3- Critical thinking in the identification and evaluation of evidence to guide decision making. In the constructivist lesson in the case study the students had to use critical thinking to look at the problem and make a decision about how to solve it. For example, the students had to find a way to measure the boat. So they used critical thinking to understand what the problem was and evaluate it to come up with an answer.
4- I would think that you could create a constructivist lesson plan that would also be an authentic activity. For example, the students can figure out how to make a bird house something they would use in real life. The would need to figure out measurements and what they should make it out of. They would need to consider the best way to attract a bird and so on.

Course Contact Review #3
1- So this unit I actually read the chapters necessary. I will admit I wasn't planning on doing this but when I started to read I got caught up in what I was reading and I was done before I knew it. I found it really interesting and I think this will encourage me to read the book in the future.
2- Although I did read the chapter I still did it just a few days before. Once again I need to learn to space out my study time over a period of time as to not be overwhelm with an upcoming test.
3- As for my goals I am getting better. I completed 2 out of my 3 goals I made at the beginning of the semester. I read the chapter (or necessary reading for this unit), I also wrote in my blog each week. I still need to work on not procrastinating but I think that is just one habit embedded in my mind that I am going to have a tough time breaking.
4- So in order to stop this horrible habit of mine I need to manage my time better. So for this next unit, since we will not be going to class but to our field experience, I want to keep my mind on the terms we have learned. I will go over all of the study guides for about and 30 mins- 1 hr twice a week. This way everything will stay fresh in my mind and I will do well on the final.
5- I think I was pretty motivated this time. I really liked this unit and a really like the reading that went along with it. I think my dad could probably ace all of the exams because I always teach him all of the material. That is how I study best, teaching someone else. I believe that I work hard on everything I do and hopefully that will result in a good ending result.
