ReplyDelete1. A learning strategy is something that learners knowingly use such as a specific approach or tactic to learn and remember information. A learning strategy that I could apply to my classroom would include visual images and provide an explanation for the visual. Since visual images help students remember information, this could be an effective learning strategy.
ReplyDelete2. Life skills is a very important subject area for high school students; especially those who are graduating and coming into the "real world". An important topic to cover when thinking about life skills is job interview skills. In order to teach the students job interview skills, I would want to provide students with visuals of how to dress for an interview. I would next want to elaborate about the different ways to respond to difficult job interview questions. Lastly, I would want students to be able to rehearse and practice their job interview skills. Therefore, it would be beneficial to my life skills lesson to use the following learning strategies for this particular lesson, grade level and subject area: visuals, elaboration and rehearsal.
* This question might also fit under the category of "Evaluate" in Bloom's Taxonomy because we are trying to find the value of particular learning strategies to use in a particular lesson, for a particular grade level and for a particular subject area.
A learning strategy is one or more cognitive processes used intentionally for a particular learning task. (example. note taking)
ReplyDeleteA great learning strategy to advance vocabulary development in the first grade classroom is providing each student with a specific "role" each week. The roles would rotate over the course of the year and during each rotation students would learn more vocabulary words and their meanings in context.
