EDCI 5065 Week 3 LT1

1. Q4. What are some of the ways that SLT affect students?
A. Social Learning Theory affects students because we learn in a social environment not in a vacuum. The interactions of students with teachers and peers extends their range of understanding. They can bounce ideas off one another or help each other to understand an idea in a new way. They can accomplish more difficult tasks with the aid of some one more knowledgeable in their social environment.
Level 4 is okay, maybe only a 3 because its applying not analyzing how SLT affects students.

2. Q2 Describe the difference between the concrete stage and the formal operations stage.
A. The concrete stage is when students are able to use reasoning to apply ideas and information to other situations. The formal operations stage is when students can grasp abstract ideas and hypothetical situations not just apply to other situations but hypothetical situations.
I suggest its a Level 4 because its comparing the two stages.

3. Q1 Name the four learning theories that were discussed in the Kruse article.
A. Social Learning Theory
Developmental Learning Theory
Behavioral Learning Theory
Constructivist Learning Theory
I agree it is a level 1 question.
