PHASE II, Part 6 (all group members contributed)

Summary/Outline

Learning Strategies:

- Practice/repetition

- Crossword puzzle

- Watch a video

- Listen to a lecture

- “Lab work”

- Take notes

- Read it out of a text book

- Class discussion/debate

Essential Question:

- What does the debate nature vs. nurture consist of?

- How does neuroscience give credibility to Psychology as a science?

Key Questions:

- What are examples of learning through nature or nurture?

- Give a real world example (NOT found in the text book) of a supporting argument and a negative argument for both the nature and nurture side of the debate.

- How do the parts of a neuron play a part in learning?

- What are the parts of the brain and what kind of information do they hold?

- Describe the different hemispheres of the brain that have different functions.

Relevance to the real world:

- By knowing the way we learn, it can help us later in life to use certain strategies in other classes.

- Also, this information can be given to other teachers so they can use this as a resource.

Student-self management of learning:

- If the teacher was a facilitator, students could learn by reading out of a textbook and taking notes. They could also help each other teach and learn things others might not understand.

  1. I'd say skip the crossword--primarily because it is a tool of memorization (think about it--you are merely identifying terms by matching it with a description or definition)

    I like the idea of lab work! ...I'd make this a more integral part :)
