\n
\nDweck studied psychology and is very concerned with the human brain and how it learns. She appears to have a strong background regarding cognitive development. She is viewed as a "motivational theorist:" one who is most concerned with what motivates a student.
\n
\nJohn Dewey (alive during the publishing of "The Origin of Species") was very influenced by Darwin's theory and applied it to knowing and learning. He focused heavily on the relationship between humans and their environment.
\n
\nHoward Gardner developed a counter theory to Piaget's cognitive development theory: a theory of multiple intelligences. Each type of intelligence is independent of the others. This is basically the exercise we did in class where students were divided by their strengths of particular intelligences.
\n
\nDweck is most concerned with how to motivate students. Gardner is concerned with strengths and weaknesses of a student's intelligence. Dewey is most concerned with how students will adapt (learn) in particular environments.","dateCreated":"1302489912","smartDate":"Apr 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"Caseyb.crittenden","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Caseyb.crittenden","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1296425910\/Caseyb.crittenden-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"37446192","body":"Howard Gardner's theory emphasizes that all students learn differently and have multiple intelligences. It suggests that students may not do well if the teacher does not cater to the student's specific intelligence (or way of learning). So it basically explains student performance by the effect of multiple intelligences.
\n
\nWhile Gardner focuses on multiple intelligences in learning, Dweck focuses on motivation in student learning. Dweck would blame student failure to lack of motivation rather than weakness in certain intelligences.
\n
\nBloom doesn't believe that students struggle because of weakness in intelligences or lack of motivation. Rather, Bloom argues that students struggle because of lack of proper instruction.","dateCreated":"1302499521","smartDate":"Apr 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"HalaSiddiqui","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/HalaSiddiqui","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"37447596","body":"Jerome Bruner believes that children are capable of exploring difficult subjects. John Dewey on the other hand believes that if students are presented with information that is beyond their level of comprehension, they may not be able to handle it if they are not yet mentally mature enough.

\n
\nEach of the theorists were strongly in favor of student centered classrooms. They were each from different time periods, and thus had different data to reference with their research. Also, they were of different educational focuses: psychology, law, and philosophy. I found it extremely interesting that theorists from different generations and educational backgrounds each favor student centered teaching over classical rote memorization techniques.","dateCreated":"1302489140","smartDate":"Apr 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"Caseyb.crittenden","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Caseyb.crittenden","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1296425910\/Caseyb.crittenden-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"37446300","body":"I listened to Dweck, Bloom, and Gardener.
\n
\nThough they had different views, they all suggested ways to increase student learning. Also, I found that all of them had a large role for the teacher. The teacher was instrumental in student learning. Gardener wanted teachers to make lesson plans catering to all intelligences. Dweck wanted teachers to instill motivation in their students. Bloom wanted teachers to focus on their instruction.","dateCreated":"1302499905","smartDate":"Apr 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"HalaSiddiqui","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/HalaSiddiqui","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"37447500","body":"The theorist podcasts I listened to were John Dewey, Maria Montessori and Jerome Bruner.
\n
\n
\nThe similarity in the theory of these three theorist is that, they all focus on meeting the students need to learn. Dewey talks about presenting information to the students that can be comprehendible for them. and to create environment that would create an environment that will help them learn from their experience. Montessori talks about moving forward in the lesson in the pace that is comfortable for the students. Bruner believes that,), lessons must be aligned with student experiences, lessons must also be presented at a level the student can understand. and that teachers must allow students to hypothesize and discover. All the three theorists propose a theory that is student based.","dateCreated":"1302505306","smartDate":"Apr 11, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"Ebbybaby","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Ebbybaby","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
