Nathaniel QTC


QTC

I like the way the book said the big picture is that learners want to be involved in their own learning, which will be a goal of my agriculture class.  I agree with most of the cognitive theories as I understand them.  I believe in the inclusive setting suggestions for the most part also.  I worry when the book speaks of children with behavioral problems being sent to the psychologist though.  It seems to me that too many times teachers would be quick to act on something like this instead of taking the kid aside and seeing what they are truly up to.  Meaning what makes that kid act the way they do.  

I believe cognitive theory will work with my students in an agriculture class although I do not think I will actively be in the process of using these tools by name I will use them more like it says through automacity or by trial and error.  I think these tools would be very useful in an identification section of and agriculture class whether it is plant or animal.  Animal breeds would be a similar lesson to plant names in the repetitive style of lesson planning.
