1. How People Learn Chapters 6 & 7 discussed the different designs of learning environments. The four different types of learning environments are learner, knowledge, assessment and community centered classrooms. Each concept has different aspects of cognitive function and expectations. The learner is based around exploration and self discovery (inquiry). The knowledge is centered around building on prior knowledge. The assessment tries to obtain feedback on their work for understanding. The community centered focuses on interactions with many people to build a positive environment.
2. I think I am clear on everything. I found it interesting to learn about the different types of learning environments. This helps me be more aware of my teaching techinques.
3. This information helps me incorporate different methods into my classroom. I now understand the importance of problem solving for students. Overall very helpful chapters with much information that is beneficial to myself as an educator.

I think this is helpful in learning different methods to use in the classroom as well. These chapters definitely provided more specific information for implementing some of the concepts we've learned into the classroom environment. I wonder how many people will begin making changes in their classroom after they've read this.
ReplyDeleteI also found these chapters to be very helpful. I was extremely interested in the different communities. I can see myself using each community depending on the subject and the student level. I do think that the community-centered environment takes priority over all of the others. They are worked in depending on the circumstances.
