A Change That Would Allow More Effective Changes | Blogs on the Science of Education

Blogs on the Science of Education. A Change That Would Allow More Effective Changes. March 2, 2012 in Uncategorized. Over the past 5 weeks, I have been persuaded of the increasing magnitude of change the standard curriculums in the UK could do with. I will introduce a few methods I currently think the educational system could do with standardising as well as direct you to the blogs that have triggered or are related to these conclusions of mine. Reid and Webster-Stratton, 2001. Hence, fundamental skills ...

Is teaching becoming an ‘elitist’ profession? | Forward Potential
https://forwardpotential.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/is-teaching-becoming-an-elitist-profession
The Potential to Move Forward. Is teaching becoming an ‘elitist’ profession? I’ve spoken quite a lot in my last few blogs. About the education system as a whole. I find it difficult focusing in on smaller issues, when, if were up to me, the entire system would be changed. This week (for a change), I’m going to move away from the big picture and focus in on improvements that could be made within the current system. Recently, the quality of teachers has come under review. A 2:2 or higher? Interestingly in ...

Science of Learning 2012. PRP3003 Class Aggregation Site. Spring is here…. Spring is here…. March 21, 2012. And so are this weeks grades. Great job (again). Specifically, Carys. Last blog this week, with comments for marking by the 28th of March. At that point, you should know how well you have done on the module. I think this year has gone great, and the model works (wasn’t just a cohort effect). Thanks for all your great talks, have a great break, and see you 9:00 am on the first day back.

Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; Everyone loves a good book…? March 16, 2012. So let’s move onto the potential psychological problems with examinations. Also points out the difficulties faced by children carrying out exams nowadays. So in essence, I do not believe exams are the best way to asses our ability in a subject throughout our education.

The Darker Side of Praise | Michael Nicholson

PRP3003 – Blogging about Psychology and Education…. March 23, 2012. The Darker Side of Praise. Praise can come in many forms and can vary in depth. I note here the difference between praise, a positive reaction to a behaviour, and feedback, an opinion given with the intention of modifying behaviour. Although they are often very similar, praise is always positively aimed at someone. Deci, E. 1975. Intrinsic motivation. New York: Plenum. View all posts by psub69 ». Laquo; Previous post.

Just another WordPress.com site. Laquo; Lamenting Mathematics Education (Week 8! Week 9: Professor Podcast… Please? On March 21, 2012. One constant theme of several people’s blogs has been the need for education to modernise. Therefore the one question which seems obvious, is ‘do we even need to pay lecturers at all’? This is what this blog will discuss. 5 responses to “ Week 9: Professor Podcast… Please? March 21, 2012 at 1:45 pm. Akerman and Neal (2011)http:/ debate.uvm.edu/dcpdf. Nie (2008)https:/ www...

Descriptive Feedback (A grading rant) | Science of Education
https://psua4e.wordpress.com/2012/03/21/descriptive-feedback-a-grading-rant
Just another WordPress.com site. Reflective Blog →. Descriptive Feedback (A grading rant). I know that I for one have already briefly mentioned feedback within my blogs a few times, but this week I wanted to elaborate on this area a bit more, as it is widely believed that feedback is a crucial feature of teaching and learning processes (Gipps, 1995). Descriptive feedback rather than grades or scores leads to the highest improvements in performance (Black and William, 1998; Lipnevich, 2008). Pahler, H....

Non educational programming in the classroom: treat or tool? March 16, 2012 at 9:35 pm. This blog was inspired by an episode of the TV show Futurama of all things! Explores the benefits of using feature films in EFL classrooms. It is claimed that they will promote engagement and interest to a greater extent than the generally dry films produced specifically to teach foreign languages. I would not suggest using entertainment based films or programmes for all lessons, or more than a few of them, as their e...
