Class in which Mark see 3 and thinks 4.

!

hi there

hello...this is Amy :)

Hi, I guess I am the peach color today, Katy.

We are doing ch 4 today?

yes

okay great

Exam question: Similarities and differences: Comenius, Pestalozzi, Froebel, Dewey and Montessori. Current examples of each.

How do children learn?

-innate?

-clean slate?

-exclusively nurturing or does nature play a role?

-nature vs nurture....answer...Both

Origins of education began with...

The first science (Philosophy).

based on observation, thinking, then knowing

not scientific observation

Chapter 4 in book

Plato in 427 BC although killed children, did have an edu system. Debated organizational philosophical structures. "Knowledge that is aquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind...let early education be a sort of amusement" make edu fun so knowledge will be retained.

Plato got it...

Aristotle: Students have individual skills and differences. He got it...

Early Christians:

Roots Christianity, children are born: BAD Origional Sin from Adam and Eve

she ate the apple in the garden of eden

Children are born into original sin...baptism washes sins away

If you buy into this: if you spare the rod you spoil the child

What does that mean???? if you dont beat them the child will be spoiled cause they need to be good (hopefully that made sense) yeah

Sin = Bad (Christianity) Therefore education will remove that badness..they need strict discipline

History of schooling in western europe

(1483)Martin Luther: Promotes universal edu, does society control what schools do or do the schools shape society?

the answer is BOTH!! always

ML says: KIDS should read

Boys and girls in public schools (ML thought)

Constructivism: empower students by asking questions, don't just give them info and make them memorize... Religious figures didn't like being told that you should question what you read and learn, would rather just have church be the interpreter.

12 visionary educators and theorists handout:

Comenius:

Cool guy: children are wax, maleable early but harden with age, people inherently good, School should be fun, joyful...

mooravian minister,

First childrens book written by Comenius: Orbus Pictus, english and latin, drawn in pictures, this book could teach kids what they need to know.

Comenius's Golden rule: place everything before the senses because through the senses you will learn, experiental education.

John Locke

Tabula Rasa: blank slate all nurture no nature (wrong)

In his book, "we are all born wax tablets but some are a little bit better wax than others" The higher class has "better wax"

you are an empty vessel, open your head, pour in, regergitate information. sp?

in Locke we find the first traces of discrimination.

Rousseau :

Writes Emile

Children naturally good, children develop through experiences with the environment.

Childhood is a special time (unfolding of the child should be supported)

Education for the senses, reading shouldnt be forced, it happens when it happens

School models, next week

From white board, continum

Bad <--------------------------- Neutral ----I------------------- Good

Summerhill by AS Neil

A Radical approach to child rearing

if you want to learn something let us know and we'll teach you

when they're interested they will naturally come and learn

Not very successful at all

What is it about pure discovery learning that works, not:

Ch 3 now

children and development

WHO ARE CHILDREN

dimensions of quantifiable developmental changes (age 3- 8):

-physical

-linguistic

-cognative

-social

-behavioral

-moral

-emotional

Physical developmental examples:

Proximodistal(close/distant): develop from the center line first then works its way outwards. example you can crawl beore you walk...developing from the centerline out...starts from the midline out

Chephalocaudal(head/tail): starting from the head and moving to the feet in terms of development

assessments: play a game, sing a song (authentic assessments)

observations:

- are there linguistic difficulties? Are they struggling to get what they want because they don't have the words to do so?

- teacher portfolios; fun tricks - apron with pockets that contain sticky notes and date stamp and stamp about tenish sticky notes to write down notes on things that happen throughout the day and put notes in the appropriate student's file. use notes in parent conferences, assessment purposes, etc.

- student portfolios with completed work; use to reflect with students so they see their own progress and can share with their parents in their own words what their progress has been.

- keep yourself in a position to continue to be unintrusive to what you are actually observing.

- never make eye contact, and try to not correlate your writing with what is going on.

- documenting without changing what you are observing.

- time sampling vs. event sampling

- body language is emotional development

Mark's tip of the day:

Sticky notes with the date on them. Write down things about the kids everyday and keep a folder with all the notes for feedback for kids, parents, self. Not much time, easy, great way to review.
