    Study Notes

    Learning Theories and Educational Concepts

    • Bruner's Three Modes of Representation:
      • Enactive (0-1 years): Action-based learning.
      • Iconic (1-6 years): Image-based learning.
      • Symbolic (7+ years): Code/symbol-based learning (e.g., language).

    Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Domains

    • Cognitive Domain (Bloom & Anderson): Categorizes learning objectives based on levels of cognitive thinking, from lower-order to higher-order (LOTS to HOTS).
    • Affective Domain (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia): Focuses on affective outcomes like attitudes & emotions in learning.
    • Psychomotor Domain (Simpson, Harrow): Deals with practical skills and physical movement involved in learning.

    Dale's Cone of Experience

    • Illustrates various learning experiences, from concrete to abstract.

    Erikson's Psychosocial Stages

    • Trust vs. Mistrust (0-12 months): Developing trust in caregivers.
    • Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1-3 years): Gaining independence and self-control.
    • Initiative vs. Guilt (3-6 years): Initiating activities and taking responsibility.
    • Industry vs. Inferiority (6-12 years): Developing a sense of competence and accomplishment.
    • Identity vs. Role Confusion (12-18 years): Forming a personal identity.
    • Intimacy vs. Isolation (early 20s-early 40s): Establishing close relationships.
    • Generativity vs. Stagnation (40s-60s): Contributing to society and future generations.
    • Integrity vs. Despair (mid 60s-death): Reflecting on life and accepting accomplishments.

    Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory

    • (briefly mentioned, need more details for proper notes about stages)

    Computer Generations

    • (briefly mentioned, need more details for proper notes about stages).

    Student Misconduct Goals & Taxonomy

    • Attention-seeker: Wants teacher's attention.
    • Revenge: Seeks retribution.
    • Power-seeker: Seeks control.
    • Inadequacy: Feels incompetent.
    • Withdrawal: Withdraws from learning.

    Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development

    • (briefly mentioned, need more details for proper notes about stages / levels).

    Principles of Education

    • Hedonism: Pleasure-seeking.
    • Double Effect: Actions with both good and bad consequences.
    • Formal Cooperation: Cooperation with a clear purpose..
    • Lesser Evil: Choosing the less detrimental choice.
    • Material Cooperation: Cooperation without intention.

    Philosophies of Education

    • Essentialism: Focus on fundamental skills (3 R's).
    • Perennialism: Emphasis on enduring ideas and great works.
    • Progressivism: Learning based on experience and problem-solving.
    • Existentialism: Emphasis on individual choice and responsibility.
    • Behaviorism: Focus on observable behaviors and conditioning.
    • Constructivism: Learning through actively constructing meaning.
    • Reconstructionism: Addressing social issues in education.
    • Humanism: Promoting student potential and self-discovery.
    • Idealism: Focusing on mental concepts and ideas .
    • Pragmatism: Emphasis on practical application and experience.
    • Realism: Focus on tangible things and the real world.
    • Utilitarianism: Choosing the most beneficial action.
    • Social Reconstructionism: Focus on social change through education.

    Aims for Eras in Education

    • Pre-Spanish: Survival and obedience.
    • Spanish: Christian principles.
    • American: Democratic ideals and way of life.
    • Commonwealth: Moral character and organization.
    • Japanese: Progress and development.

    Measures of Central Tendency

    • Mean: Average (Sensitive to outliers).
    • Median: Middlemost value (Less sensitive to outliers which is better).
    • Mode: Most frequent value.

    Measures of Variability

    • Range: Difference between highest and lowest scores.
    • Standard Deviation: Dispersion of scores around the mean.

    Measures of Relative Position

    • Percentile: Score divided into 100 equal parts.
    • Decile: Score divided into 10 equal parts.
    • Quartile: Score divided into 4 equal parts.
    • Stanine: Score divided into 9 ranges.

    Test Statistics

    • Difficulty Index: Indicates difficulty of a test question. ([0.0-0.20] Very difficult, [0.21-0.40] Difficult, [0.41-0.60] Moderately difficult, [0.61-0.80] Easy, [0.81-1.00] Very easy).
    • Discrimination Index: Evaluates if a test item differentiates high-performing from low-performing students. (Positive = Good, Negative = Bad, Zero = Bad, should be rejected)
    • Validity: Measures what it intends to measure.
    • Reliability: Consistency of measurements. Reliable is always valid.
    • Criterion-Referenced: Scores based on specific learning objectives.
    • Norm-Referenced: Scores compared to a group's performance.
    • Skewed Distribution: Positive (Left-Skewed): Lower scores more prominent; Negative (Right-Skewed): Higher scores more prominent.
    • Horn/Halo Effect: General impressions affecting ratings/judgments.

    Assessment Types

    • Traditional Assessment: Primarily uses paper-and-pencil methods.
    • Authentic Assessment: Examines real-life application.
    • Assessment for Learning: Used to guide instruction before or during teaching.
    • Assessment of Learning: Evaluates learning after teaching.
    • Assessment Types (Diagnostic, Formative, Summative)
      • Diagnostic: Identifies strengths and weaknesses before instruction.
      • Formative: Used during instruction to monitor progress.
      • Summative: Used at the end of instruction to evaluate performance.
    • Objective Assessment: Often, using multiple-choice questions
    • Subjective Assessment: May include writing essays/projects

    Purposive Communication

    • Component of Purposive Communication: Language, system, grammar, phonology, phonetics
    • Language: Major component: sound, meaning, grammar, & vocabulary.
