COGNITIVISM

The cognitivist revolution replaced behaviorism in 1960s as the dominant paradigm. Cognitivism focuses on the inner mental activities – opening the “black box” of the human mind is valuable and necessary for understanding how people learn. Mental processes such as thinking, memory, knowing, and problem-solving need to be explored. Knowledge can be seen as schema or symbolic mental constructions. Learning is defined as change in a learner’s schemata.

A response to behaviorism, people are not “programmed animals” that merely respond to environmental stimuli; people are rational beings that require active participation in order to learn, and whose actions are a consequence of thinking. Changes in behavior are observed, but only as an indication of what is occurring in the learner’s head. Cognitivism uses the metaphor of the mind as computer: information comes in, is being processed, and leads to certain outcomes.

TEST OF INTELLIGENCE





We read about test of Multiple Intelligence,

This simple grid diagram illustrates Howard Gardner's model of the seven Multiple Intelligences at a glance.

intelligence type capability and perception
Linguistic words and language
Logical-Mathematical logic and numbers
Musical music, sound, rhythm
Bodily-Kinesthetic body movement control
Spatial-Visual images and space
Interpersonal other people's feelings
Intrapersonal self-awareness


Gardner said that multiple intelligences were not limited to the original seven, and he has since considered the existence and definitions of other possible intelligences in his later work. Despite this, Gardner seems to have stopped short of adding to the seven (some might argue, with the exception of Naturalist Intelligence) with any clearly and fully detailed additional intelligence definitions. This is not because there are no more intelligences - it is because of the difficulty of adequately and satisfactorily defining them, since the additional intelligences are rather more complex than those already evidenced and defined.


Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")


Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

JENNY´S CLASS

That day at Jenny´s Class we made an activity about a conversation between a costumer and an hotelier.
We work in pairs and use copies and practice the conversation.

Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

RUBRIC TO ASSESS THE BLOG

We discuss and comment about the evaluation system
and we get to the next agrement:
Planning (Planning Framework video images or pictures of practices, up evaluation.
Description of use of teaching materials.

OBJETIVE:

Performances by students
Description of photos
Describe the type of learning that characterizes my group.
Description of experiences in which you basaste for planning.

Respectfullness-Yes
Order-Yes
Cleaness-Yes
Colaboration-Yes
Cooperation-Yes

COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES

In this class we work in teams with some worksheet the teacher gave us about comunicative skill
where we make the next activity, that was; consider the definition above and pick wich items on the following list are communicative activities.

* Communicative activities.
* Giving a prepared speech.
* Acting out a scripted conversation.
* Improvising a conversation so that includes lots of example of
a new grammar structure.
* One learner describes a picture in the book while the other student look at it.

Respectifullness - yes; Order - Yes; Cleanness - yes; Colaboration - yes; Cooperation - yes.
