Tom is a stressed ITMA student. Tomorrow he will be tested on Chapter 9: Complex Cognitive Processes from the book Educational Psychology. He will not only need to understand the main concepts, but he will also need to apply these concepts in his exam. He thinks that the chapter contains a lot of information and he feels as if can neither remember all information nor find ways to apply the most important concepts and principles. He therefore simply started to read the chapter over and over using rote memorization.
- Could you describe some learning strategies that you can teach or recommend to Tom to help him during his learning process? (3 points) Think about strategies you use or those that you model for your own students.
- It is probably a good idea for Tom to create a concept map related to the assigned book chapter. However, he wondered if you could make one for him instead so he can better understand the main concepts, principles, and their relationships. You can use any tool you want and either provide a link to your concept map in your Word file or add your concept map as an image to your Word Document. Some online tools you can use are Gliffy, Coggle, and Bubbl.Us. (5 points) ***Please note that you will need to make sure to share the complete link and give access to facilitator in order for these concept maps to be evaluated.****
- From what you have learned from this book chapter, design a pre, during, and post learning activities that will highlight the application of critical thinking, problem solving, and transfer of knowledge.
- Please describe learning activities (pre, during, post) that you would develop. The activities should be aligned with your area of expertise or an area associated with your career/educational goals. Please do not design activities for the reading of the textbook chapter that was presented in the scenario above;(3 points)
- Explain how the activities would contribute to complex cognitive processes like critical thinking, problem solving, and transfer of knowledge (you can also apply creativity and argumentation). (4 points)
