We will explre the majr theries in these realms and hw we can apply these theries t becme better teachers and learners. Curse Objectives Using the textbk, lecture, and curse cntent, students will be able t: 1. demnstrate the knwledge and ability t think critically abut educatinal psychlgy thery. 2. apply theries f educatinal psychlgy t the interpretatin f classrm practices and student behavir. 3. describe the basic principles f child and adlescent develpment and apply them t the classrm. 4. Graduate Students will create fact sheets t describe sme f the difficult issues children face in the schl system t assist them in their future wrk with parents, teachers, and students. COE Cnceptual Framewrk The desired future f the Cllege f Educatin (COE) at Flrida Internatinal University is ne in which candidates, faculty, and staff embrace the shared experiences f a diverse, internatinal, prfessinal learning cmmunity. (Visin Statement f the Cnceptual Framewrk f the Cllege f Educatin Revised 2007, p.1). The three majr utcmes becme the lens thrugh which each prgram rganizes learning experiences and cntributes t the visin and aim f the Cllege. The utcmes include: a) Unit Cntent Outcme: Stewards f the Discipline (Knwledge); b) Unit Prcess Outcme: Reflective Inquirer (Skills); and c) Unit Dispsitins Outcme: Mindful Educatr (Dispsitins). The desired perfrmance learning utcmes, r institutinal standards, f teacher candidates at the initial level are aligned with state and prfessinal standards (e.g., FEAPs, INTASC). Prgram Standards/Cmpetencies Cvered in this Curse This curse is aligned with the standards, principles, cmpetencies, and practices f the Interstate New Teacher and Assessment Cnsrtium (INTASC) and the Flrida Educatr Accmplished Practices (FEAP). Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Supprt Cnsrtium Standards (INTASC) Principle 2: The teacher understands hw children learn and develp, and can prvide learning pprtunities that supprt their intellectual, scial, and persnal develpment. Principle 3: The teacher understands hw students differ in their appraches t learning and creates instructinal pprtunities that are adapted t diverse learners.
Principle 5: The teacher uses an understanding f individual and grup mtivatin and behavir t create a learning envirnment that encurages psitive scial interactin, active engagement in learning, and selfmtivatin. Flrida Educatr Accmplished Practices (FEAPs) Accmplished Practice 5: Acceptance and Fstering f Diversity: The pre-prfessinal teacher establishes a cmfrtable envirnment which accepts and fsters diversity. The teacher must demnstrate knwledge and awareness f varied cultures and linguistic backgrunds. The teacher creates a climate f penness, inquiry, and supprt by practicing strategies such as acceptance, tlerance, reslutin, and mediatin. Accmplished Practice 7: Human Learning and Develpment: Drawing upn well established human develpment/learning theries and cncepts and a variety f infrmatin abut students, the pre-prfessinal teacher plans instructinal activities. Accmplished Practice 9: The Design f Learning Envirnments. The pre-prfessinal teacher understands the imprtance f setting up effective learning envirnments and has techniques and strategies t use t d s including sme that prvide pprtunities fr student input int the prcesses. The teacher understands that she/he will need a variety f techniques and wrk t increase her/his knwledge and skills.

Article Critique Taskstream Paper Yu will be asked t demnstrate yur understanding f the curse cntent thrugh a TaskStream written assignment in which yu will apply the thery yu have learned during the curse t scenaris depicted in a vide yu will see in class. The state f Flrida requires that yu receive a passing grade n this assignment t pass the class. If yu d nt pass this assignment, yu will be allwed ne rewrite. Yu will submit this paper thrugh TaskStream. The State f Flrida requires that thse seeking certificatin r a prfessinal degree in a Cllege f Educatin demnstrate their ability t understand and apply the Flrida Accmplished Educatr Practices
(FEAPS) by develping an nline prtfli f the cursewrk they have cmpleted. Each curse in the Cllege thus has an TaskStream assignment that satisfies a different set f FEAPs requirements. Yu must successfully cmplete these assignments with a passing grade befre the curses can be used t meet yur degree r certificatin requirements. The TaskStream assignment yu cmplete in this curse, an analysis f preschl in three cultures, will demnstrate yur understanding f FEAPs 5, 7, and 9 althugh yu d nt need t discuss them explicitly. FEAP 5) Acceptance and fstering f diversity: Demnstrate yur knwledge f multiculturalism and a keen sensitivity t varied linguistic and cultural backgrunds. FEAP 7) Human learning and develpment: Demnstrate yur knwledge f learning theries, principles, and their applicatin t yur teaching practice. FEAP 9) The design f learning envirnments: Demnstrate that yu can think critically abut learning envirnments in which students are actively engaged in scial interactin, cperative learning and selfmtivatin. Analysis f Pre-schl in Three Cultures: Fllw the utline belw t cmplete yur paper: Yu are t cmpare the learning envirnments shwn in the vide Pre-schl in Three Cultures. I. Intrductin: Begin with a shrt intrductin (ne paragraph) t the paper. Use this sectin t intrduce the vide and the schls t the utside reader. II.

Cnclusin: Discuss yur persnal reactins t what yu have learned abut behavirism and cnstructivism and t the three schls yu bserved. Use yur wn wrds. Only in this way can I be sure that yu understand the material. Be sure t demnstrate yur mastery f the curse cntent and the three FEAPS listed abve (n need t specifically address them, hwever). Frmat requirements This paper must be five pages lng (ne-inch margins, duble spacing, 12-pint fnt). Yur writing shuld be f prfessinal quality with a decided fcus, strng paragraph cnstructin, and gd grammar and mechanics. Demnstrating these skills is an essential part f the assignment. Rewrites and Timeliness: Thse wh d nt receive a passing grade (a C) may rewrite their papers nce. If papers are late, the grade will be reduced by ne grade increment. (E.g., A paper that wuld rdinarily be graded as B+ will receive a grade f B.) SUBMITTING THE ASSIGNMENT T receive credit fr the TaskStream assignment, yu must pst it n TaskStream, the COE s new web-based electrnic prtfli applicatin. All students enrlled in the Cllege f Educatin are required t subscribe and maintain a TaskStream accunt thrughut their FIU career s they can generate and maintain an electrnic prtfli f their wrk in the cllege.

All data aggregated will cntain n persnal identifying infrmatin t ensure cnfidentiality f students wrk. SCORING RUBERIC Level 3: Student has cnstructed a cmpletely accurate, cmprehensive and feasible summary, and evaluated each sectin f the article in a critical and infrmed manner. The student demnstrated an exceptinal understanding, interpretatin, and evaluatin f the results btained and reprted in educatinal research article reviewed. The student cnclusins based n the research and assessment data prvided was exemplary and reflects advanced critical thinking skills. Level 2: Student has cnstructed an adequate summary f all cmpnents f the paper, has evaluated each sectin, and demnstrates satisfactry understanding f the results reprted in the article reviewed. Evaluatin cvers mst prblematic issues in each sectin f the article. Adequate critical thinking skills are demnstrated. Level 1: Student did nt summarize each sectin f the article adequately, r fails t critically evaluate each sectin adequately. There is a limited r lack f understanding demnstrated in the reprt f the results and the critical evaluatin is incmplete. The reprt lacks a critical analysis by the student. IMPORTANT SCORING INFORMATION In additin t the afre-mentined scring, yu will be assigned a numeric grade up t 25 pints (25= perfect scre). While yu will receive yur taskstream scre f 1-3 fairly quickly (generally within a week f submitting), yu may nt see yur numeric grade in Blackbard until several weeks later. If yu receive a scre f 3 in taskstream, yu can assume yu will earn a numeric scre f 23 t 25 pints If yu receive a scre f 2 in taskstream, yu can expect t earn a numeric scre ranging frm 20-23, depending n the quality f the paper. If yu receive a scre f 1 in taskstream, that is failing and yu will be asked t resubmit the paper in rder t pass the curse.
