Teacher self-efficacy

Belief in your own abilities to reach students and help them learn

New cards
New cards

Benefits of high teacher self-efficacy

  • leads to persistence with difficult students

  • leads to lower rate of teacher burnout

  • improves with school support for teachers

  • increases as teacher succeeds with students

New cards
New cards

high teacher self-efficacy is a _______ of student achievement

predictor

New cards
New cards

sense of efficacy may ___ after the first year as a teacher

decline

  • because support from student teaching is gone

New cards
New cards

No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)

  • all students grades 3-8 take annual standardized achievement tests in reading and math

  • must be tested in science once in each grade span (elementary, middle, and high school)

  • schools are judged based off these scores

New cards
New cards

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

NCLB term for the minimum level of improvement that school districts and schools must achieve each year

New cards
New cards

NCLB required that all students reach proficiency by ____

2013-2014 school year

New cards
New cards

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

  • no proficiency deadline date

  • more control to the states to set standards and develop goals

  • penalties no longer central to the law

New cards
New cards

Major changes in ESSA

  1. schools only considered failing if they are at the bottom 5% of test scores, graduate less than 2/3 of students, or subgroups consistently underperform

  2. no pressure to adopt common core standards

  3. not penalized for subgroups underperforming unless results are consistent

  4. local districts decide when to test and how they test.

  5. states must fund "equitable services" for children in private and religious schools if students are eligible for special services

  6. emphasized increased access to preschool by including new funding for early childhood education (not actually too dramatic for schools)

Four stages of cognitive development (Piaget)

  1. sensorimotor

  2. preoperational

  3. concrete operational

  4. formal operational

New cards
New cards

Sensorimotor

  • 0-2 years

  • Learning through reflexes, senses, and movement

  • begins to imitate others and remember events

  • shifts to symbolic thinking

  • object permanence

  • Moves from reflexive actions to intentional activity

New cards
New cards

Preoperational

  • 2-7 years

  • Develops language, begins to use symbols to represent objects

  • Has difficulty with past and future, thinks in present

  • Can think through operations logically in one direction

  • Does not understand the point of view of another person

New cards
New cards

Concrete Operational

  • 7-11 years

  • think logically about concrete (hands-on) problems

  • understands conversation and organizes info into categories

  • Can reverse thinking to undo actions

  • understands past present and future

New cards
New cards

Formal Operational

  • Adolescence - adulthood

  • think hypothetically, abstractly, deductively

  • more scientific

  • consider multiple perspectives

New cards
New cards

Semiotic Function

ability to work with symbols to represent an object that is not present (preoperational stage)

New cards
New cards

Decentering

considering more than one aspect of a situation at a time (children in preoperational stage struggle with this)

New cards
New cards

Egocentric

See the world from your own perspective only (preoperational stage)

New cards
New cards

Seriation

Making an arrangement of items in order of large to small or vice versa (concrete operational)

New cards
New cards

Helping Families Care for Preoperational Children

•Use concrete props, visual aids •Make instructions short, few steps; model processes •Help child see other's viewpoint; imagine how other person feels, how they like to be treated -Set clear rules for sharing; establish value of rules •Provide hands-on practice with skills that help build more complex skills •Provide wide range of experiences -Build foundation for concept learning and language

New cards
New cards

Helping Families Care for Concrete-Operational Children

•Use concrete props, visual aids-Timelines in history, 3-D models in science, diagrams •Allow to manipulate objects, do hands-on experiments•Use brief, well-organized presentations, readings •Use familiar examples to explain more complex ideas -Make relevant to their lives, their experiences •Allow to classify/group increasingly complex objects/ideas •Present problems that require logical, analytical thinking -Use open-ended questions to stimulate thinking

New cards
New cards

Helping Students Use Formal Operations

•Use concrete-operational teaching strategies, materials •Allow to explore many hypothetical questions -Write position papers, debate issues, create utopias •Allow to solve problems and reason scientifically -They design experiments to answer questions -They create logical arguments •Teach broad concepts, not just facts -Make materials/ideas relevant to their lives

New cards
New cards

Hypothetico-Deductive Reasoning

The ability to think hyopthetically about situations (Formal Operational)

New cards
New cards

Adolescent Egocentrism

Do not deny that other people feel differently, but still focus on personal beliefs and thought

New cards
New cards

Limitations of Piaget's Theory

  • Stages don't represent inconsistencies in children's thinking

  • Piaget underestimated children's abilities

  • Children's cognitive development CAN be accelerated through effective instruction

  • Overlooked important aspects of cultural and social differences

New cards
New cards

Executive Functioning

the cognitive abilities and processes that allow humans to plan or inhibit their actions

New cards
New cards

Neo-Piagetian Theories

  • Integrate findings about attention, memory, strategy with Piaget's insights about construction of knowledge

  • View cognitive development stages as domain specific

New cards
New cards

Robbie Case

  • explained cognitive development by suggesting that children develop in specific domains (numbers, social, story telling)

  • Well known neo-piagetian

New cards
New cards

Kurt Fischer

  • connected cognitive development in different domains to research on the brain

  • when learning a new skill, children move from 3 tiers

  1. actions

  2. representations

  3. abstractions (neuroscience)

New cards
New cards

Lev Vygotsky

child development; investigated how culture & interpersonal communication guide development; zone of proximal development; play research

New cards
New cards

Three Themes in Vygotsky's writings that explain how social processes form learning and thinking

  • social sources of individual thinking

  • the role of cultural tools in learning

  • the zone of proximal development

New cards
New cards

Co-Constructed Processes

Higher mental processes that are internalized by the child and are constructed during shared activities between child and other person

  • asking "where was the last place you saw it"?

New cards
New cards

Piaget vs. Vygotsky Role of Social Interaction

Piaget - cognitive conflict motivates change, peers are most important interaction Vygotsky - parents and teachers are most important interaction

New cards
New cards

Cultural Tools

  • Allow people to communicate, think, solve problems, create knowledge

  • real tools like rulers and computers

  • Psychological tools like numbers and language

New cards
New cards

How do cultural tools help?

allow children to transform their thinking by gaining a greater understanding of their own cognitive processes

New cards
New cards

Language is important for cognitive development because _______

is provides a way to express ideas and ask questions, the categories and concepts for thinking, and the links between the past and future

New cards
New cards

Collective Monologue (Piaget)

  • Children's way of talking to themself without any real conversation

  • Indicates child can't perceive other's views
