Andrea Rodriguez EDUC PYSHC & DEV 09 Nov 2021 Task 1 Elementary School Video Observation Title: Using Uno Cards to Engage in Fitness Activities Case # 28 Approximate Age: 6-7 Grade Level: First Grade Quantity of Students: 18 Students Identify one developmental stage of the student population in the video The physical development of these first-grade students of Mrs. Miller’s P.E. classroom are in the Early Childhood or beginning or early Middle Childhood Arnold Gessel’s Maturation Theory. Describe how the age, grade, or developmental needs or characteristics of the students align with the developmental stage identified in part A2. In Gessel’s Maturation Theory of physical development, he states that children in their early childhood and middle age childhood continuously learn to refine their motor skills- both gross and fine. The students are first graders, approximately ages 6-7 years old. This means they are in fact in their early childhood or early stages of middle age childhood. b. Explain how an example from the video demonstrates the alignment described in part A2a. In Mrs. Miller’s P.E. classroom, the students are incorporating physical activities such as climbing rope, jump roping, going through hoops, and even jump stick. These activities allow the first-grade students to continue to refine their motor skills while enjoying their physical activity. Middle School Video Observation Title: Using Discourse to Support Students’ Understanding of Multiplying Fractions

Case # 238 Approximate Age: 11-12 Grade Level: 6 Quantity of Students: 18 Students B2 Identify one developmental stage of the student population in the video The students in this video are operating at Piaget’s Concrete Operational Level in his cognitive development theory B2a - Describe how the age, grade, or developmental needs or characteristics of the students align with the developmental stage identified in part B2. - In Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, children between the ages of 7-12 operate in the Concrete Operational Stage. The students in this math classroom are all range in ages 11-12. B2b b. Explain how an example from the video demonstrates the alignment described in part B2a. Their cognitive development aligns with Piaget’s Concrete Operational Stage as they can understand Conservation. In the beginning of the lesson, the students were able to explain why ½ = ½, and then later in the video, understood that 1/2=1/2 doesn’t always seem to be correct. The students were able to think logically and understand that one half of a pizza is not equal to one half of a cookie. The subject was not argued, and students did agree in the end. 3. Identify one learning theory that aligns with the teacher’s approach in the video identified in part B. One learning theory that the instructor used in his classroom social constructivism. In this lesson, he made sure to allow the students to engage in conversation about the mathematical question at hand, that being cooperation, as this lesson was teacher led. The math instructor included previous knowledge of the material and allowed the students to accommodate their schema of multiplying fractions. High School Video Observation

Title: Working with Quadratic Formulas Case # 985 Approximate Age: 15-18 Grade Level: 9-12 Quantity Of Students: 18 Students CA1 Identify one developmental stage of the student population in the video from part C. The high school students in this video are in the Formal Operational Stage of Piaget’s Cognitive Theory. a. Describe how the age, grade, or developmental needs or characteristics of the students align with the developmental stage identified in part C2. The developmental, age, and grade levels align to the Formal Operational Stage of Piaget’s Cognitive Theory as all the students are above the age of 12, accordingly in grades from 9 th through 12 th grade.( Mcleod,2020 ) b. Explain how an example from the video demonstrates the alignment described in part C2a. The students are able to think logically and hypothetically about the quadratic equations that their instructor has provided for them to review and discuss with their peers. They are able to accommodate and assimilate algebraic information as their peers continue to lead the classroom and help make sure that other students understand their prior steps to understanding their new informational concepts. 3. Identify one learning theory that aligns with the teacher’s approach in the video identified in part C. The instructor in this video represents a constructive method of learning new material in his classroom. He operates his classroom based of material that his students have gained priorly and are now building their new knowledge off of those theories.

Case # 2451 Grade Level: Aligned to 5 th Grade CCSS Quantity Of Students: 24 Students Approximate Age: 10-11 Developmental need or characteristic of students: The instructor stated that most students fail to articulate mathematical methods 2. Identify one developmental stage of the student population in the video from part D. The students in this classroom are all operating at Piaget’s Concrete Operational Level of Cognitive development. Describe how the age, grade, or developmental needs or characteristics of the students align with the developmental stage identified in part D2. The students in this classroom range from the ages of 10 and 11 years old. These ages are appropriate for this level as they near a more Formal Operational development. Under Piaget’s Concrete Development theory, children from the ages of 7-11 begin to comprehend mathematical transformations, such as finding the volume of a prism based off prior mathematical knowledge. The students can think logically about these transformations as they brainstorm an answer. Explain how an example from the video demonstrates the alignment described in part D2a. The students in this classroom are all paired in groups, where they all discuss a particular question that their teacher has assigned to them. From the instructors notes for the video, it is understood that the groups were paired accordingly, based off of prior knowledge of the material at hand. The students work with their teacher to find the volume of a prism where its base’s area is 12 inches and height is 2 inches. They worked logically with their teacher as they compared the problem real life situations like building a cake or constructing a two story building. Identify one learning theory that aligns with the teacher’s approach in the video identified in part D. a. Describe one example of an instructional strategy the teacher uses in the video. b. Explain how the strategy in part D3a aligns with the identified learning theory in D3.

The instructor in this 5 th grade math classroom implemented Vyotksy ’s sociocultural theories of learning. Being that there were students in each group that were more intellectually advanced than others, the instructor made sure to allow interactive thinking by socializing with one another. The strategy she used aligns with Vyotsky’s learning theory as the students gain their knowledge based off of social interaction and collaborative learning. Explain why understanding psychology and human development is important for all teachers. Support your explanation with a specific example. It is extremely important for all teachers to understand psychology and human development as they will experience many different stages of their student’s development throughout their teaching career, and need to know how to properly address them. For example, a 1 st grade teacher that understands the psychology behind the way their student thinks will better shape their lessons for their students to not only understand, but to absorb knowledge. This knowledge can then be carried on through these students existing school career. Explain how understanding the differences in developmental levels of individual students will inform your teaching practice. Support your explanation with a specific example. As stated priorly, a teacher who understands the differences in development levels of her students will better shape her lessons to better meet the needs of these students. More in depth, the teacher can address these needs with more individualized assignments that help students succeed. For example, a student at a concrete operational stage of Pygotsky’s cognitive theory will be able to think more logically, but yet cannot think hypothetically. This would greatly help a science teacher make sure they are asking the correct questions in their classrooms. (Wgu Student Portal, 2021) Explain how your understanding of learning theories will inform your teaching practice, including one specific example for an identified learning theory. My understanding of learning theories will allow me to brainstorm how exactly to execute my lessons based off of my students’ learning needs and which learning technique would best approach this goal. For example, if I understand that I have a classroom of students with special needs and ADHD, I will base my instruction with a more socially interactive, and hands on experience. I will implement behavioral supports for attention and focus for my students with ADHD. I strongly believe this would allow these students to be successful in the classroom.
