Can anyone help me with these. I want different views please. In separate paragraphs describe your approach to classroom organization, motivation, discipline, and teaching styles, given your current perspective. Contrast each element of this paper with the opposite approach (behaviorist or constructivist), as you see it. I see it as constructive. Help please
Cindy, after you have written YOUR approach, we will happily give you further suggestions and our ideas. The key word in this assignment is "your".
I understand but, I just need an example, Please.
Which paragraph would you like to see as an example?
Which age level are you planning to teach?
Are you a constructivist? How would manage a classroom differently if you were a behaviorist?
I am a constructivist, I just need an example on how to approach the classroom organization.Then I think I could take it from there.
As a constructivist, my approach to classroom organization is to set it up to provide the maximum learning for each student. Desks are arranged in groups of four to facilitate student collaboration and cooperation. Time limits are flexible for the various projects. Students are encouraged to think, ask questions, and voice their opinions. Creativity is valued and student art work pertaining to the subject matter is prominently displayed.
These sites should help you, too.
