Introduction
Learning about Cognitive Psychology, Social Cognitive Theory, and Behaviorism can be complicated to learn about especially for new learners who are unfamiliar with the content. In this lesson, you will get a deeper and a more integral look at each of these three theories. Each theory is distinctly unique and an important part in the learning process.
Task
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to learn these basic psychological theories in education:
1. Behaviorism
2. Social Cognitive Theory
3. Cognitive Psychology
Your task will be to create a Graphic Organizer/ Google Slides Presentation outlining each theory's main points and compare and contrast these among each other. Also, it is important to remember to create real life examples representing how each theory plays a part in day to day operations in the field of education.
Process
This is the process to follow these steps when making your graphic organizer/ presentation
1. It is important to gain an understanding by defining each theory. Use reliable and trusted sources while citing the information correctly and ask the following questions:
-1. What does the theory mean?
-2. Who are or were the main influencers and thinkers behind these theories?
-3. What is the role or significance of this theory?
2. Make a presentation or organizer involving the three previous questions asked above and explain them in detail.
3. Create or find various scenarios and examples of how each theory would have an impact on a person in real life and in the classroom.
Evaluation
The following is how your presentation will be graded
1. Reliable Sources are accurate and scholarly trusted in an academic setting with works cited. - 10pts.
2. Accurate Description through out each theory and explains in detail its purpose and foundation. - 20pts.
3. Slides/Chart is clear and on task with no misspelling. - 50pts.
4. The presentation or chart is organized and thought out well. - 20pts.
Conclusion
I hope that this assignment will help give you a better understanding of Educational Psychology and hope you will be able to reflect your understanding when you are reading one day and perhaps reflect and meditate on one of these theories that you now know muc more about!
