    Study Notes

    Learning and Teaching

    • Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior or knowledge as a result of experience.
    • Influencing factors of learning: quality of teaching, student motivation, student engagement, and developmental readiness to learn.
    • Teaching is the interpersonal effort to assist others to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and realize their potential.
    • Teacher's role: explaining, demonstrating, listening, guiding, supporting, and offering feedback.

    Expert Teachers

    • Experienced and effective teachers who have developed solutions for common classroom problems.
    • Characteristics of expert teachers:
      • Identify essential representations of their subject.
      • Create an optimal classroom climate for learning.
      • Monitor learning and promote feedback.
      • Are receptive to student affective attributes and needs.
      • Set challenging goals and motivate students to achieve them.

    Importance of Research

    • Effective educators use evidence-based research to guide their teaching practice.
    • Research methods:
      • Descriptive studies: collect detailed information about specific situations using observation, surveys, interviews, recordings, or a combination of these methods.
      • Classroom ethnography: a descriptive approach to research that focuses on the life within a group.
      • Participant observation: a method where the researcher becomes a participant in the situation to better understand life in that group.
      • Case studies: provide an in-depth investigation of an individual, group, organisation, or institution.
      • Correlational studies: examine the statistical relationship between two variables, with correlations ranging from 1.00 to -1.00.
      • Experimental studies: allow researchers to study cause and effect by introducing change to participants and noting the results.
      • Single-group experimental studies: systematic interventions to study effects with one person or group.
      • Microgenetic studies: detailed observation and analysis of changes in a cognitive process as it unfolds over several days or weeks.

    Developmental Psychology

    • Human development involves systematic age-related changes that occur across the lifespan.
    • Stages of human development:
      • Prenatal period (conception to birth)
      • Infancy (birth-2)
      • Early childhood (2-6)
      • Middle childhood (6-10)
      • Adolescence (10-18)
      • Early adulthood (18-35/40)
      • Middle adulthood (35/40-65)
      • Late adulthood (65+)
