Learning Theories

Silence is important in libraries because if your silent, you and other people can concentrate on what your reading, if theres a lot of noise, then your mind wont focus on what your reading and would be distracted by the commotion.

There are seven characteristics of OD (Newstrom, Davis, 1993):

Humanistic Values: Positive beliefs about the potential of employees (McGregor's Theory Y).

Systems Orientation: All parts of the organization, to include structure, technology, and people, must work together.

Experiential Learning: The learners' experiences in the training environment should be the kind of human problems they encounter at work. The training should NOT be all theory and lecture.

Problem Solving: Problems are identified, data is gathered, corrective action is taken, progress is assessed, and adjustments in the problem solving process are made as needed. This process is known as Action Research.

Contingency Orientation: Actions are selected and adapted to fit the need.

Change Agent: Stimulate, facilitate, and coordinate change.

Levels of Interventions: Problems can occur at one or more level in the organization so the strategy will require one or more interventions.

The basics of Pitman's Shorthand can be learned in three months if you work through your instruction book and practise regularly. Teeline is simpler so may be quicker to learn. Shorthand learning needs a different approach than school work, as you are aiming to be able to write it without thinking, like you do in longhand. This is why practising is essential for success and for increasing speed and accuracy. Working through the book quickly helps to maintain interest and motivation, and overcomes the unfamiliarity when learning a new subject.

Psycholinguistics focuses on studying how people acquire, comprehend, produce, and store language. It encompasses areas such as language processing, language development, language disorders, and the interaction between language and cognition. Additionally, it explores the psychological processes underlying language use in various contexts.

Personalized learning is a current educational trend that is likely to have continued significance in the future. It involves tailoring teaching methods and content to meet the individual needs of students, fostering greater engagement and understanding. As technology advances, personalized learning tools will become more sophisticated, offering even more personalized and effective educational experiences for students.

Some test taking strategies include:

1. Familiarizing yourself with the test format and structure.
2. Managing your time effectively by pacing yourself and not spending too long on one question.

An example of insight learning is a monkey is in a barred cage who, hours upon hours attempts with a stick tries to get a banana outside the cage. Realizing after a while that if he takes a second stick he's able to grasp the banana.

Stalagmites and stalactites are two features formed by underground deposition. Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed as mineral-rich water drips down and leaves behind deposits of minerals. Stalagmites, on the other hand, form on the cave floor as the dripping water deposits minerals and builds up over time.

The techniques utilized in MMA are put in categories, putting and grappling techniques. placing strategies include kicks, knee strikes, punches, and elbow moves. Grappling techniques include clinch holds, pinning holds, submission holds, sweeps, throws, and takedowns.

Contextual means to view information as a whole- both the facts and where they came from.

Example:

A technique for determing meaning from unfamiliar vocabulary words is to look at the other words in the sentence for clues. It is commonly referred to as "using contextual clues."

The relationship between school location and school effectiveness has been a perplexing one for educators. Studies have found that the physical environment, locality of school in rural or urban area, socio-economic status of the neighbourhood, ethnic location of the school, overcrowded classrooms built near market centres, libraries, technical workshops, laboratories, school plant planning, among others, are all school locational variables that significantly affect students academic performance (Adewuyi, 2002; Ahmed, 2003; and Ijeoma, 2007)

School location with its attendant features of instructional spaces planning, administrative places planning, circulation spaces planning, spaces for conveniences planning, accessories planning, the teachers as well as the students themselves are essential in the teaching-learning process. The extent to which student learning could be enhanced depends on their location in the locality, within the school compound, the structure of their classroom, availability of instructional facilities and accessories. It is believed that a well planned school will gear up expected outcomes of education that will facilitate good social, political and economic emancipation, effective teaching and learning process and academic performance of the students.

The physical characteristics of the school have a variety of effects on teachers, students, and the learning process. Poor lighting, noise, high levels of carbon dioxide in classrooms, and inconsistent temperatures make teaching and learning difficult. Poor maintenance and ineffective ventilation systems lead to poor health among students as well as teachers, which leads to poor performance and higher absentee rates (Frazier, 2002 Lyons, 2001; and Ostendorf, 2001). These factors can adversely affect student behavior and lead to higher levels of frustration among teachers, and poor learning attitude among student.

Beyond the direct effects that poor facilities have on students' ability to learn, the combination of poor facilities, which create an uncomfortable and uninviting workplace for teachers, combined with frustrating behavior by students including poor concentration and hyperactivity, lethargy, or apathy, creates a stressful set of working conditions for teachers. Because stress and job dissatisfaction are common pre-cursors to lowered teacher enthusiasm, it is possible that the aforementioned characteristics of school facilities have an effect upon the academic performance of students.

Previous studies have investigated the relationship of poor school environment including problems with student-teacher ratio, school location, school population, classroom ventilation, poor lighting in classrooms, and inconsistent temperatures in the classroom with student health problems, student behavior, and student achievement (Crandell & Smaldino, 2000; Davis, 2001; Johnson, 2001; Lyons, 2001;Moore, 2002; Stricherz, 2000; Tanner, 2000). To complement these studies, the present research examines the aforementioned areas of school locational factors such as location of the school itself, class size, school facilities, and school population affect the effectiveness of schools in Nigeria.

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Howard Gardner, a developmental psychologist at Harvard University. Gardner proposed that individuals possess different types of intelligence beyond traditional measures like IQ, such as spatial, kinesthetic, musical, and interpersonal intelligence.

Some of the problems facing curriculum development in Tanzania include inadequate funding for curriculum development, lack of alignment with industry needs leading to a mismatch in skills, and insufficient teacher training and capacity for effective implementation. Additionally, there may be challenges in keeping up with rapid advancements in technology and changing educational trends.

Standardized testing is often criticized for several reasons, including its limited ability to measure individual student growth and success, its narrow focus on test-taking skills instead of a comprehensive understanding of subject matter, and its potential to perpetuate inequality by disadvantaging certain groups of students. Additionally, standardized tests can create unnecessary stress and anxiety for students and teachers and may not accurately reflect a student's true abilities or potential.

The primary objective of a firm is to maximize profit and shareholder value while meeting the needs of its customers and stakeholders, and operating in a sustainable and ethical manner. This involves making strategic decisions that optimize resources and generate long-term growth and success.

Some disadvantages of using field trips as a teaching strategy include logistical challenges such as transportation and coordinating schedules, potential safety concerns for students outside of the classroom environment, and the potential for distraction or lack of focus during the trip. Additionally, field trips may not always align perfectly with the curriculum or learning objectives, leading to a potential disconnect between the experience and the desired educational outcomes.
