Hi katelyn,
I really liked reading your reflection on confirmation bias, it’s a tricky concept to grasp at first! I totally get how it can be confusing to think that misconceptions could actually lead to better learning, but your approach of rewatching and rereading really paid off. Looking at it from the engagement perspective makes a lot of sense, and I love how you connected that to students being more aware of what’s wrong rather than just memorizing facts.
Your cognitivist teaching style sounds fantastic! Encouraging students to build on their prior knowledge and actively participate, especially through pair and share activities, is such a great way to keep learning interactive. I like how you make sure everyone’s voice is heard, even if they’re not the most outspoken. Your approach really supports deeper learning and helps students process information in a meaningful way. Great insights!
I really enjoyed reading about your behaviorist approach to learning and instruction. Your emphasis on structured, goal-oriented learning makes a lot of sense, especially when working on group projects or breaking down complex topics into manageable steps. Setting clear, measurable outcomes and using pre-assessments is a great way to ensure progress and help everyone stay on track.
I also appreciate how you incorporate reinforcement, recognizing achievements and giving constructive feedback is such an effective way to keep motivation high. Your approach to gradual learning, starting with fundamentals and building confidence through practice and repetition, really highlights the strengths of behaviorism. It’s great to see how you create a structured yet supportive learning environment for yourself and others!
