Final Learning Log

What?
My theory that best matches me is cognitive. Which is the act or process of knowing in the broadest sense; specifically, an intellectual process by which knowledge is gained from perception or ideas. The cognitive process is the particular way of mentally responding to or thinking about information or an event. And the cognitive psychology is theoretical perspective that focuses on the mental processes underlying learning and behavior. Characteristic way in which a learner tends to think about a task and process new information; typically comes into play automatically rather than by choice. The thoughts and ideas of those are none stop. The person is constantly thinking about how to process the new ideas and information coming in.

So What?
It is important to know about these type of learner since we will be having these different type of students in our classroom. It is important to know if someone falls in the cognitive theory because they think and learn a certain way. This will have a huge impact on my classroom because these students will learn things differently than the other students. Their think processing will be much different than the other students who are not a cognitive learner.

Now What?
I have learned a lot of great information from ed psych. I have learned so many different ways a person can think and act as well as knowing why some students will act in certain ways. I have loved the information I have learned. There is just so much information that I feel like I need to reread the text again to really get a better grasp on all the concepts. It is so important to understand everything we have learned throughout this sememster because as a teacher we will be faced will all types of students that will have different learning problems and well as behavior issues. If we knew how to handle different situations to the best of our ability we could have an amazing classroom.
