Cooperative Learning and Metacognitive Instruction

Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: A (excellent), Indiana University (Instructional Systems Technology), course: Instructional Psychology, 24 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: INTRODUCTION There has been a lot of research concerning the problems of implementing new techniques and strategies into classroom instruction. The difficulties of innovation may be due to resistance to change, lack of congruence between teachers’ beliefs and practices and several other factors. This does not sound very optimistic in terms of improving learning situations for students. However, there are some ways to enhance student performance that at first sight do not seem to be very complicated but nevertheless are quite effective without depending on the former mentioned barriers too much. The purpose of this synthesis paper is to present recent findings concerning two of those strategies, cooperative learning and metacognitive instruction, and critically discussing their effectiveness and applicability as well as their limitations and implications for future research. First, a short overview is given on the problem of implementing new techniques in classroom instruction and changing teachers’ practices. This is done to provide a framework and consider the main constraints. Then, research on the two strategies is presented and discussed with regard to applicability and limitations. The main indicator of whether those strategies actually reach the student or not is student achievement as usual, even though it is certainly not the only important one and some other indicators are considered. Finally, a short summary and conclusion is given and implications for future research are considered.

Cooperative Learning in Elementary School

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: 2, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: Abstract Nowadays, social skills become more and more important. Radical changes in numer-ous fields make the development of social skills more difficult. The development of social skills can be encouraged through forms of cooperative learning. The relevance of cooperative learning forms is elevated by the special advantages that their use within the EFL classroom offers. Cooperative learning greatly improves the classroom atmosphere and fosters the development of a child's personality especially during primary school. The limited fluency of primary school pupils seems to make it very difficult to implement some of the more complex cooperative learning methods. Teachers are often afraid of implementing cooperative learning forms in primary school (Putnam & Spenciner, 1993, p. 125). In this paper, reasons for the implementation of cooperative learning forms in primary school are given. In addition, cooperative learning methods are elaborated in terms of their usability in the EFL primary classroom.

In Silico Analysis and Modeling of Deleterious Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) in Human GATA4 Gene

Research Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Human Genetics, , language: English, abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is an abnormality in the structure and function of the heart and great vessels caused by embryonic development disorders, it is highly complex and is not fully understood yet. This study performs a computational analysis of the nsSNPs in the GATA4 gene, to identify the possible mutations and propose a modeled structure for the mutant protein that potentially affects its function. The nsSNPs were analyzed using 5 prediction tools: SIFT, Polyphen-2, I-Mutant 3.0, PhD-SNP and Project Hope. The SNPs on 3’UTR and 5’UTR regions were analyzed using PolymRTS and SNP Function Prediction softwares, respectively. Twenty nine nsSNPs were found to be deleterious and damaging by SIFT and 22 nsSNPs by PolyPhen server; 22 nsSNPs were found to be common in both SIFT and PolyPhen server. Also, 6 nsSNPs were observed to be highly deleterious and damaging as per SIFT and PolyPhen server. Moreover, the PolymiRTS results showed 34 SNPs in the 3’UTR region and only one SNP in 5’ UTR by SNP Function Prediction to be functionally significant. Hence, we hope our results will provide useful information that needed to help researchers to do further study in heart disease in children especially in our country

Students’ and Teachers’ Perceptions of English in CLIL Lessons at an Austrian HTL for Business Informatics and Medical and Health Informatics

Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: A, , course: Master of Science in Teaching English, language: English, abstract: CLIL has been promoted for solving problems of traditional language learning, student motivation and overcrowded curriculum, but the driving forces for implementing CLIL programs are different in each country. There is great accordance within the European Union that existing language barriers need to be broken down to enhance the European integration (Marsh, 2002). Therefore, it is important that most of the students have a communicative proficiency in languages other than their mother tongue. This communicative proficiency can be reached in language teaching by many ways. One method is content and language integrated learning (CLIL). CLIL is an approach that integrates the teaching of subject content with the teaching of a non-native language. Learning other languages is very important in our global society. The knowledge of different languages helps learners to develop skills also in their first language. It helps them to develop skills to communicate about science, arts and technologies to people around the world. In a CLIL classroom, the subject content and language skills are taught together. The new curricula for the Austrian upper secondary vocational colleges (technical as well as economic) require the usage of the English language in content subjects. Within all subjects and teachers there must be at least 72 lessons per year taught in English.

Large classes and how High School teachers and students perceive them

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 9, , language: English, abstract: The main aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions of students and teachers in a large class. Perceptions regarding the environment, the material and the class in general. To achieve that, a qualitative process was used in order to obtain information to be able to answer the aims of this research project. The main tools for collecting the data were an interview to the teacher, questionnaires to some students as well as some observations in the classroom. All the instruments were used in order to obtain their own perceptions about themselves as well as each other: teacher-students and students- teacher. The teacher’s interview was recorded and transcribed and then analyzed and compared with the answers that students gave in the questionnaires. The results were expected to contribute to the orientation of teachers who are teaching in similar situations. In addition, this paper aims to illustrate the common problems that can be found in this type of classrooms and see if more teachers identify themselves with this topic. The findings show the urgent necessity of knowing and implementing new and different strategies when teaching too many students, taking into account the environment and other different aspects which are found in high overpopulated schools. The results of this investigation showed that students are not totally satisfied with the teacher’s methodology as one of the most outstanding problems. It also showed the teacher’s perceptions about his students and their lack of interest, it also showed the limitations that a teacher has to innovate in a classroom overcrowded with at least 50 students.

Challenges and Motivation towards English Language Teaching to Rural Students

Research Paper from the year 2012 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: None, , language: English, abstract: Student, Especially those in developing countries, have inherited a legacy of discrimination and oppression which manifest in poverty, health issues, violence, limited access to basic needs, resources and employment. The challenges facing students in the areas of economic empowerment, access to land and access to science and technology are still a barrier to own development and it remains a challenge to level the playing fields. As Developing Nations seek to control limited resources toward the goal of achieving a developed status they must reevaluate past practices and explore available and affordable technologies. Where information and communication infrastructures are weak, use of low-cost, easily distributed technologies have proven effective. Still, many developing nations have failed to incorporate a resource in great abundance, to use these new technologies to greatest advantage. English is in India today a symbol of people’s aspiration for quality in education and a fuller participation in national and international life. It is fundamentally essential for Rural Students to learn English from a young age in this rapidly globalizing world. English knowledge will help to open many opportunities for them in the future and it will be invaluable in their future careers. However, teaching English to rural students is not an easy job, but it is also not difficult, if we already know how to do it. Many teaching positions involve teaching Rural Students - a unique experience that is both challenging and fun. The key to teaching English to Rural Students is to understand the principles of language acquisition and apply it in ways that keep Rural Students motivated to learn.

How to motivate Students to learn English

And the role the Teachers motivation plays

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: 1, University of Fribourg, language: English, abstract: Imagine the following situation: You enter the classroom as a teacher and all the students are motivated to learn English today. The same situation would repeat every day. Would that not be awesome? Unfortunately it does not happen all the time. Actually it happens almost never. There is almost always one student who is not motivated because of reasons we cannot influence or change. Nevertheless there are some things we can change or influence when it comes to motivation.

The Relationship Between Preferred Websites and Reading Motivation in College Students

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Learning Psychology, Intelligence Research, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This study focused on the relationship between college students’ reading motivation and their website preferences. My hypothesis was that Internet users who seek text material online will have a higher reading motivation score. Participants were asked to answer questions from Schutte and Malouff’s (2007) Adult Reading Motivation Scale, to estimate the hours they spend reading and on the Internet per week, and to rate fictional websites. Reading Motivation was greater for those who chose educational-text websites as their top preference than those who chose non-educational visual content as their top website preference. There was also a positive significant relationship between leisure hours spent reading and leisure hours spent on the Internet. Future research should investigate the relationship between time spent on the Internet and time spent reading.
