I think oral incentives such as "You Can Do It!" are the part of class dynamics.

It's a funny video on the Mental Processes of Cognition.It exemplifies the stages of reasoning

They summarized the main ideas briefly.Thats nice. Also the backgound music is really complementary :)

Good for concrete understanding of Piaget's approach

What do you think about this approach for college instruction? Can we apply it for young learners?

It seems from this video that computer-aided instruction is effective than teachers. One's cannot passing to the next unit unless succeeding the previous one seems to guarantee a student's comprehending a topic. Giving feedback after each unit is a serious issue for a learner.

E-learning compelled to investigate definitions of time and places. For training of mass it saves a lot of money, energy and time. But what about one-to-one face to face learning. I wonder whether there is an effect of looking through a screen and looking through to the lively eyes?

A funny video about the memorization issue in education. The narrator claims to make a student be graduated in 5 minutes. An exaggerated view to education. However, it is not completely wrong.

We can see a brief overview of these stages which used examples for each levels..

It is really weird to watch the reasonings and answers although we read that they are so. I was surprised once again.

Yes hatice, actually I can go on applying the theory to my cousin by hiding it from Yengem, it is unethical I know:). May be I should wait until I have my own children. I can give permission myself to apply Piaget's theory to my children, no problem:), I agree saime, in one ofthe video a little girl was shown a simple triangle and was asked to draw exactly what she saw, and she drew a different sketch and showed the corners of her triangle that was completely in different places. It was in the video that Evrim Hoca posted to Diigo, I guess.

Several applications of Advance Organizers in one video. I really needed that since I had not be able to understand what is the real purpose of AOs since teacher activities about them had seemed to me that they do not converge. However, after watching the video, I think that advance organizers includes key components that students should know for using it to deepen their knowledge about a specific topic. To illustrate, in one practice, students ranked several telecommunication devices in terms of their importance before designing their own device. They first learned/remembered the key components of available devices and their importance and their use, and using this initial knowledge, they started to design a new device. Without examining prior devices (without looking at how telecommunication devices look like or how they function or what are their similarities or differences), it would be harder to think of a new device.

According to Thorndike, learning occurs via the association between the sensations and the impulse (action). As for checking his theory, he created puzzle boxes for the animals that he used for his experiments. He put the animals into the boxes and measured the time they spent for learning to open the door. He discovered that animals do not have enough ability to figure out the results of their actions. They find the solution with trial and error process and mostly by chance. After finding the solution (that is the solution that leads to the correct impulse, namely escaping the door), the time for operating the correct response to a specific situation decreases. However, when the reinforcement is removed (in this experiment, escaping the door is prevented), then the corresponding sensation (attempt to pull down the lever) disappears (This event can remind us the term "extinction" used by Pavlov in his classical conditioning theory). After introducing the reinforcement again, sensation reoccurs but the animal needs time to make the escaping operation more quickly again as he learnt before removing the stimuli.

Erdem, thanks for sharing. I will use this in my ed psych course as well.

Thanks for that video. It has been a great experience for me to see what I learned before theoretically. Now, I feel that I understand the experiment better. Such videos are very effective in enhancing learning.
