1. The information in week 10 helps us better understand how our students think and solve problems. Problem solving and creativity can easily be related to work memory and long term memory. Some of the information learned earlier in the semester was also presented again in this chapter, top down and bottom up approach. This chapter also discusses creativity and types of motivation.
2. I think I am clear on everything from week 10. I found this chapter to be very interesting. Many thing I remember doing as a student are things that I see my students doing as well and they now make sense.
3. Any condition for all students. Especially important in preparing students for standardized testing. I also find that is it important to try to motivate our students both intrinsically and extrinsically. By using the creativity and problem solving we can gain our students interest and they will hopefully become self motivated!

Katie,
ReplyDeleteI am doing my workshop on motivation. What do you do extrinsically to help motivate your students? Do you ever worry that those extrinsic rewards will build in them an expectation of compensation for doing a task or for performing a task well?
