We had a special guest Barb who is deciding to become a Mathematics teacher after being in the Computer Science and Accounting field. Today's Discussion was on Stein Chapter 1, 2, 3. Important Points and Chapter 1 Different level of Cognitive Learning maybe difficult to distinguish. Low or High Cognitive levels of learning may be misinterpreted as well. Chapter 1 was similar to Blooms and Phy 101 One needs to know student in order to challenge them. Beware of using misunderstood terms for example "Textbook like " Chapter 1 is very concrete so can you as the reader can make sense of it. for example the Analysis Guide, etc. Chapter 2 Chapter was very pessimistic Very good for pre-service teachers but may scare or frighten them. No matter what you try it is bad or will not work out right Makes standards much more higher than normal Analyzing what you are doing Very similar to Constructivism: believing that to learn you have to bent the truth or challenge radical individual schemes. When learning something new you have recognized schemes that already exist and realizing that one part of that scheme doesn't work and take in consideration that you need to reconstruct them. Individuals can react to this two different ways (1) Turn Away or (2) take in a new scheme. In addition the chapter point out the way to set cognitive learning up but if it messes up it may turn into something good concluding that you must emphasis making the most of opportunity. Chapter 3 very short collaborating learning not individualism focused on reflection need balance over reflection and non reflection are particularly very healthy may experience depression.
