Ch 18: Educational implications
Introduction
Workfield of school psychologist difficult, lots of factors can play a role
Ex: Story about Jane, party gifted girl that had low self-esteem, no motivation
Concluded that it had a specific behaviour that needed change, teacher as well needed change
Caused positive impact overall in school
Special education given in NL, new law 'fitting education' because people would abuse the system, now focus on making the school environment as good as possible before registering child in special school
Child-centred psychology and education
Cooperative learning
Interactive learning, rising the difficulty once learned Ex: Group grip
Static test
Piaget; which skills/knowledge does child possess?
Dynamic test
Vygotsky; what is the learning potential of this child? Fairer and focus on learning progress
Social interaction, learning and development
Adult-child interaction has little effect because intellectual gap really high, more influence of child-child interaction that can promote understanding and resolution
Pairs promoting Piagietian tasks
Better at understanding the three-mountain task
Peer effects are persistent
Long-term and major effect on whole class
Computer-based tasks
Interaction between peers in solving problems beneficial, important that teachers know research and depends on interaction
Constructing effective peer pairings
Boys' dominance and girls' higher IQ can create perfect working environment, clash that are forced to solve
Effective learning
Vygotsky and ZPD
Interlential knowledge (between people) and intramental (individual knowledge)
Effective scaffolding
Two rules: any failure, increase in control and, when successful decrease control
Scaffolding in classroom
Through interactive learning, teachers should provide of combination of different skills for scaffolding
Children effective teachers?
The higher intellectual teacher, the better
Implications for educational practice and assessment
Lots of pressure on teacher, method of (STAD), making a group of varying abilities so everyone works together
Psychology, schools and educational reform
Change from child-centred education because of psychological research, long way to go
