Recommended: Cognitive processes reflection

I was working within the cognitive dimension of literacy. I was transacting with the book while using mental processes and strategies to construct meaning. While transacting with the text I was using the sociocultural dimension by using and creating background knowledge to connect what I was reading about to my life, and what I learned about World War II and the Holocaust in social studies class. I was using the cognitive dimension of literacy, I was able to read the words on the page to create meaning that I could then connect to my background knowledge about the subject. My last semester of college I took an online English class that presented me an opportunity write a persuasive research paper about the effectiveness of the Common Core State

  • The Crisis in Adolescent Literacy

    2250 Words  | 5 Pages

    Finding a definition of literacy is not as easy as it sounds. The Webster definition says that to be literate is to be” able to read and write.” But to some researchers, this definition is too simplistic, leading to multiple models of literacy. Most Americans adhere to the autonomous model, which falls closest to the standard, dictionary definition. Believers in this form say that literacy is a cognitive activity that students learn like any other basic skill. It has a set of proficiencies that one must master in order to be capable of decoding and encoding text (Alvermann, 2009; SIL International, 1999). A competing theory is the ideological model, which claims literacy is intrinsically linked to culture, and therefore what constitutes a “literate” individual is ever-changing. Society is the largest influence on literacy, according to this thought, and it is affected by politics, religion, philosophy and more (Alvermann, 2009; SIL International, 1999). These two are just the tip of the iceberg. For example, some studies recognize “literacy as competence,” which is a “measure of competence to do a given task or work in a given field,” (SIL International, 1999) such as being computer literate. Although more researchers are recognizing and exploring multiple literacies, the one that most influences American schools is the autonomous, cognitive model – the ability to read and write. For many, it seems a simple task, but millions of adolescents are struggling or reluctant readers, and there are many reasons why young readers have difficulty with reading.

  • Constructivism And Constructivism

    918 Words  | 2 Pages

    Constructivism is a theory of learning that emphasizes the active construction of knowledge by individuals. Inquiry of learning is a theory developed by Dewey in which it emphasizes the development of student’s cognitive abilities such as reasoning and decision making. Inquiry theory, is reflected in reading instruction by having children choose their own vocabulary, asking their own thought provoking questions and giving them the opportunity to construct their own meaning. Schemata theory strives to explain how knowledge is created and used by the learners. In reading instruction schemata can be observe as a child tries to understand a story by using past personal experience to relate to concepts in the story. Transitional response theory is the notion that all readers have unique background schemata. In transitional theory all readers will have a different response to the text. Psycholinguistic theory is the study of the relationships between linguistic behavior and psychological processes including the process of language acquisition. In reading it helps the readers make predictions about what the text say based on their knowledge in these areas. Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking. In reading metacognition helps reading comprehension. Engagement theory seeks to articulate the differences between engaged and disengaged readers. In reading, engagement theory is best seen when children are motivated to read and are constantly reading or

  • Examples Of Literacy Narrative Essay

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up in working class family, my mom worked all the time for the living of a big family with five kids, and my dad was in re-education camp because of his association with U.S. government before 1975. My grandma was my primary guardian. “Go to study, go to read your books, read anything you like to read if you want to have a better life,” my grandma kept bouncing that phrase in my childhood. It becomes the sole rule for me to have better future. I become curious and wonder what the inside of reading and write can make my life difference. In my old days, there was no computer, no laptop, no phone…etc, to play or to spend time with, other than books. I had no other choice than read, and read and tended to dig deep in science books, math books, and chemistry books. I tended to interest in how the problem was solved. I even used my saving money to buy my own math books to read more problems and how to solve the problem. I remembered that I ended up reading the same math book as my seventh grade teacher. She used to throw the challenge questions on every quiz to pick out the brighter student. There was few students know how to solve those challenge questions. I was the one who fortunately nailed it every single time. My passion and my logic for reading and writing came to me through that experience, and also through my grandma and my mom who plant the seed in me, who want their kids to have happy and better life than they were. In my own dictionary, literacy is not just the ability to read and write, it is a strong foundation to build up the knowledge to have better life, to become who I am today.

  • Critical Thinking And Reflection

    853 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the start of this semester I wasn’t sure what to expect. The last attempt I made to take Psychology 101 was eighteen years ago, just out of high school, fresh into junior college. That class was overwhelming, not to mention boring, and I was not able to wrap my head around the information. I did end up withdrawing from the class. So, at the start of this semester I was nervous that this experience might be similar. I can honestly say it was not! My instructor made the material interesting, fun, and left me excited to return to class the next week. There were many topics that were covered throughout this semester. And a few of the chapters, Learning, Life Span Development, and Motivation and Emotion really resonated with me. Concepts I learned within in these chapters really got me thinking and some I am even trying to apply to my life now.

  • Inquiry 4 Reflective Essay

    773 Words  | 2 Pages

    I decided that for my Inquiry 4 I would be creating a website, a remix of my Inquiry 3 project, on cults. For this, I created my own cult. This was done by studying previous cults, using satire in my writing to elaborate the similarities of cults and what people perceive in cults, and using Heavens Gate (a cult from the 90s) still active website, as reference for my own. This was definitely challenging for me, as I am not tech savvy, and really helped me tap into my creative side when writing a blog for the website. In this website, there is also a store, where there are products generally associated with cults, and a small description that is associated with each product, again using satire. Through the systematic use of text, pictures, color, and tabs, I believe I have been successful in creating an ironic cult website.

  • Metacognition Essay

    1619 Words  | 4 Pages

    Metacognition is defined as “thinking about thinking”. Metacognition consists of two components: knowledge and regulation. Metacognitive learning includes knowledge about oneself as a learner and the factors that might impact performance, knowledge about strategies, and knowledge about when and why to use strategies. Metacognitive regulation is the monitoring of one’s cognition and includes planning activities, awareness of understanding and task performance, and assessment of the efficacy of monitoring processes and strategies. Metacognition also improves with suitable instruction, with experimental evidence supporting the notion that students can be taught to reflect on their own thinking. Valuation of metacognition is challenging for a number of reasons: (a) metacognition is a complex construct; it is not directly observable; it may be confounded with both verbal ability and working memory capacity; and existing measures tend to be narrow in focus and decontextualized from in school learning. It identified self-directed learning as one of the life and career skills necessary to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce. However, educators may not be aware with the methods for teaching and assessing metacognition, mainly among elementary aged children. Educational psychologists have long promoted the importance of metacognition for regulating and supporting student learning but the question arises; how understanding of metacognition improve the way a students learn? There are number of strategies through which they can improve their learning; firstly, pre-service teacher’s used the self-regulated learning (SRL) method to enhance student learning. SRL promotes metacognition and it promotes deeper understandi...

  • Social Psychology Reflection Paper

    1035 Words  | 3 Pages

    PSYC321-Social Psychology taught me about the ways in which people are influenced by others, how people make decisions, inferences we make about others’ attitudes and personalities, and influence of situational and variables on behavior. I learned that people behave the way that they do for so many reasons. Behaviors are caused more by the social situation than they are by the characteristics of the individuals. One of the concepts that I recall is Lewin’s equation which indicates that the behavior of a person at any given time depends on both the characteristics of the person and the influence of the social situation. Some of the things we do can also be attributed to cultural influences and differences that exist between societies. I found

    As a person grows old, it is inevitable to have both physical and cognitive changes happen throughout their lifetime. In an average life span, a person’s physical and cognitive changes will normally vary depending on what age group they are in. For example, it is said that from birth to age five, a child will absorb more information including how to talk, language, form relationships, and fine motor skills than any other age. It is also said that that most rapid decline in physical ability is in older adults ranging from a loss in eyesight to severe dementia.

    As a Psychology major I educationally already benefitted from taking this marriage and family course. The real question for me is, did I expect to learn so much about myself and the people around, and how aspects in their lives change who they are and how we all live our lives? Well my answer is no, I originally looked at this course strictly as educational rather than realistically. The concept behind psychology is to question everything, with such a understanding of myself and family/friends I question if my upbringing would have different I wouldn’t be the person I am today! Or truly think about what I want in a partner; qualities that I liked and hated in past relationships. Even this course helped me question and understand how an unfaithful relationship affected someone close to me as an individual and the relationship as a whole. I truly received a better understanding about myself and the world around me with this course , Chapters 5, 13, and 15 really stood out to me , but with anyone who is lost , or confused in their life now , relationships ,or the future and the aspects of what makes you , you! You can benefit a lot from taking this course.
