Explain how the principles of learning, such as reinforcement and repetition, are applied differently in trial-and-error learning versus conditioning?
Explain how the principles of learning, such as reinforcement and repetition, are applied differently in trial-and-error learning versus conditioning?
In trial-and-error, reinforcement happens after a random action leads to a desired outcome, strengthening that specific action. In conditioning, reinforcement is intentionally paired with a stimulus to create an association and a predictable response.
How might a teacher create a classroom activity to promote both convergent and divergent thinking skills?
How might a teacher create a classroom activity to promote both convergent and divergent thinking skills?
Begin with a focused task requiring a single correct answer (convergent), then encourage students to explore alternative solutions or related problems with multiple possible approaches (divergent).
Describe a situation where intrinsic motivation might be more effective than extrinsic motivation in promoting long-term learning?
Describe a situation where intrinsic motivation might be more effective than extrinsic motivation in promoting long-term learning?
When a student is genuinely interested in a subject, intrinsic motivation (curiosity, enjoyment) leads to deeper engagement and sustained effort, unlike extrinsic rewards that may fade once the reward is removed.

Study Notes
Unit 1: Understanding Learning
- Learning involves concepts and their importance
- Principles of learning are key
- Trial and error, conditioning, and insight are learning theories.
- Classroom implications exist for these learning theories
Unit 2: Determinants and Process of Learning
- Intelligence includes concept and nature, convergent/divergent thinking
- Strategies can nurture divergent thinking
- Multiple intelligences have implications for learning
- Needs, interest, and attitude are important concepts in learning
- Motivation incudes concept, types, and role in learning
- Memory includes concept, types, and methods of memorization
- Forgetting covers nature, causes, and ways to minimize it
- Transfer of learning involves the concept, types, and implications
- Several factors affect memory, forgetting, and transfer of learning
Unit 3: Language Learning
- Language acquisition and learning involves early home training
- Language learning readiness includes psychological and social factors
- Language development has concept, stages, relationship between language/thoughts
- Egocentric and inner speech are factors in language development
- Several factors affect language development, implications for teaching and learning
- Language functions in real life, inside the classroom, and in school subjects
- Learning language and learning through language are key concepts
Unit 4: Guidance and Counseling
- Guidance is a concept and a need at the elementary level
- Guidance includes educational, vocational, personal, and social aspects
