REVIEW FOR THE FINAL

I can’t put the Jeopardy power points on the blog, so I will put the questions and answers on this post.  Note that there are some questions that were not reviewed in class because no one picked that category. You should also review the text and the powerpoints here on the blog.

Here is the link to the DJ power point

Topic— What should a teacher know about motivation?

You should include two sections: 1) Discuss the various theories about motivation (Behavioral-Skinner, Bandura; Constructivist-Piaget, Adkinson (Achievement), Weiner (Attributrion), Wigfield (Expectency), Mazlow (needs) 2) Discuss your plan/strategies for motivating students once you have your own classroom.

Write a short (3-5 page) reflection on Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences. Be sure to include the following:

1) Your reflection on the results of the various Learning Style Inventories you took. What were the results? Were there common themes that emerged from all the inventories? Did the results confirm what you know about your own styles or did they contradict what you know?

2) How might an understanding of Learning Styles impact you as a teacher? What are the implications for the various ways students communicate?

3) What do you think your strengths are in terms of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences? Weaknesses?

4) How might an understanding of Multiple Intelligences impact you as a teacher? How might you alter your instruction based upon the communication and interactive preferences of your students?
