What?
I received a very close score on all three areas. I was a point or two higher in humanism and cognitive development than behaviorism. I think that all have areas that are important to the learning process. I think that kids learn best when are able to apply what they learn. If they can repeat the skill or knowledge learned then they will be able to recall and apply it to life. One of the main reasons that I went in to business education is because they students will us the skills taught in my classes in their life. The business department teaches skills that students will learn. I want to present the students will effective modeling. I want them to be able to set goals and achieve them. I want to be the teacher that directs the students learning ant not just an information repeater. i also believe in creating a learning atmosphere. I want the students to feel comfortable in my classroom. I want it to be a place where they can think and express themselves without worry or ridicule. It only takes one bad experience to hurt the learning process for ever.
So what?
I think that these theory will impact my classroom very positively. I think that students will be able to learn and express themselves. It will be a very interactive environment. Student will have a very good hands on educational learning. I want them to master skills and knowledge. I will have a very upbeat classroom. I don't ever want a boring classroom. If the students are board then i know that i will be board. I will work very hard to create this classroom.
Now what?
I want to learn more about assessment and behaviorism. The reason that I want to learn more about assessment is to be able to teach my students the proper way that they can evaluate their own learning. I have learned a lot about assessment but i haven't been able to apply it to the classroom. This i will be able to do when I student teach and have a job. I think that I lack the hands on experience. This can only come through teaching in the classroom. I can't wait.
I also want to learn more about behaviorism. I want to encourage my students to succeed in the classroom. I want to make sure that i give the student the proper encouragement. I don't want my positive reinforcement to be generic. I want it to be tailored to the individual. So i want to learn how to assess the proper reinforcement and apply that to their behavior. I know that i will learn a lot through my student teaching experience. I always want to be open to criticism and change as a teacher. I think that this is important to becoming a excellent teacher.
