Learner Theories
Key Figures: Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky
Educational Implications: Teachers should create learning environments that encourage exploration, collaboration, and reflection, rather than just passively transmitting information.
Constructivism: Learners actively construct their own knowledge and understanding through experience and interaction with their environment.
Example: Students learn best by doing hands-on activities, solving problems, and discussing ideas with peers.
Jean Piaget: Piaget's theory of cognitive development focuses on how children go through specific stages of intellectual growth. He emphasized the role of active exploration in learning and the need for learners to engage with their environment to build understanding (Piaget, 1970).
Humanistic: Learning is a personal and emotional experience, emphasizing the learner's values, interests, and motivations.
Key Figures: Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers.
Educational Implications: Teachers should create a supportive and inclusive learning environment that fosters self-esteem, creativity, and critical thinking.
Example: Encouraging students to pursue their interests and set personal learning goals.
Abraham Maslow: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory suggests that individuals must first fulfill basic physiological and safety needs before progressing to higher-level needs such as esteem and self-actualization. In an educational context, this theory implies that students need to feel secure and valued before they can fully engage in learning (Maslow, 1943).
Aspects Specific to me
-
Teachers: Music Performance and Vocal Teacher as this was the class I had to wear a mask for whenever I was allowed to go on campus.
-
Activity/Sport/Subject: The activity/subject I relate most to a mask is music performance as it showed my perseverance in achieving a high grade in my end of year exam results.
Learning Journey: The learning journey I had in this scenario would be having to adjust my volume and breath intake to accommodate singing with a mask on.
Significant Events
Challenges: I am a student who doesn't test well and I struggle in exams and SAC's unless it is a practice or practical class.
Challenges: Having to essentially relearn how to project my voice and annunciate my words through a mask.
Success/Achievement: With help from my vocal teacher we were able to come up with a solution that works in favour of the performer (in this case me), the solution was to move our rehearsal space outside so I wouldn't have to wear a mask and we could social distance accordingly.
Success/Achievement: I received a high study score for music showing the I learn best by doing rather than reading and writing answers.
Learner Identity
Type Of Learner: I would say I am a Kinesthetic learner. a Kinesthetic learner is individuals who prefer to learn by doing. They enjoy a hands-on experience.
Family and Friends Impact: My family and friends were able to help me as a kinaesthetic learner as they would present me with tasks that require a hands on approach which would be why I excelled in my practical classes like music and food studies.
AITSL Standard 1
1.1 Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students: This standard is most relative to my artefact as masks had a big hinderance to social development as for me, masks represent isolation and isolation makes the development of social skills harder to come by.
