Study Notes

Learning Methodologies

  • Student-Centered Learning: Focuses on the student as the central element in the learning process.
  • Traditional Methods of Teaching: Old-fashioned teaching styles.
  • Time-Tested Methods of Teaching: Methods proven effective over time.
  • Progressive Methods of Teaching: Modern teaching that incorporates technology and current learning approaches.
  • Review: Looking back at past lessons to connect with new material.
  • Drill: A teaching method using repeated practice.

Principles of Learning

  • General beliefs about how students learn efficiently and effectively.

Synapse Strengtheners

  • Substances, activities or practices improving neuronal connections (synapses).
  • Crucial for memory, learning, and cognitive function.
  • Synaptic plasticity enhances signal transmission.
  • Nutrients and Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and magnesium support brain health and synaptic plasticity.
  • Exercise: Increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) promoting synapse growth and blood flow.
  • Mental Stimulation: Puzzles, reading, learning new languages, or music improve neural activity and cognitive reserve.
  • Sleep: Essential for memory consolidation and synaptic pruning; deep sleep is especially important.
  • Mindfulness and Meditation: Reduce stress, increase gray matter density, improve focus, and emotional regulation.

Teaching Techniques

  • Role Playing: Students act out roles based on personal interpretation (no script or direction). "I am what I am" principle.
  • Dramatization: Students portray characters based on a script and direction. "I am what I am not" principle.
  • Simulation: Students perform tasks or decisions in a real-life scenario. "I am what I should be" principle.
    • Role Playing: Flexible, spontaneous, student-interpreted.
    • Dramatization: Structured, scripted, directed.
    • Simulation: Goal-oriented, real-world focused, outcome expected.
  • Inductive Lesson: Starts with specific, concrete examples and leads to general, abstract principles.
  • Deductive Lesson: Starts with abstract, general principles and then demonstrates with specific examples.
  • Socratic Method: A question-and-answer approach to encourage critical thinking.
  • Cognitive Domain: Thinking skills, knowledge, and intellectual abilities.
  • Affective Domain: Internalizing knowledge.
