reflective practitioner:
• Reflective teachers think back over situations to analyze what they did and why, and to
consider how they might improve.
• Reflection works better if you know ideas and theories that might explain what you
experienced.
→ goes home that night and thinks about the day and how they can improve or change to
make better
→ ould I hae doe it a etter a?
→ working through to figure out what is best for your classroom
Differentiated instruction:
• Takig aout of studets’ prior koledge, skills, ad eakesses so that ou proide
what they need.
• This could refer to a whole class, a group of students, or only one student.
→ target the learer’s eeds
→ putting them in situations that benefit them
→ figure out what they already know and them give them what they need
Research methods used by educational psychology
- Descriptive studies: case study, video observation, interviews, participant
observation/classroom ethnography
→ may use qualitative analysis (categorize statement/action into themes)
→ then conclude and interpret relationships between themes
→ ex. Interview teachers, find common things they are saying and gather that
information and organize
- Correlational studies: measure of strength of relationship between two variables
→ -….…..+
→ positive or negative
→ positive relationship means high relationship between two variables
→ negative relationship means no relationship between two variables
→ ex. In the classroom it would be motivation and success
→correlation in not causation
- Experimental studies: researcher introduces some intervention (different conditions)
→ direct evidence of cause and effect
→ within-subject or between-subject designs
→ adatage of eperietal oer oseratioal… e a eplore ause ad effet
→ in true assignment we use random assignment= to solve the problem of a third
ariale e do’t ko aout
→ quasi experiment= when we use already existing groups like 2 classrooms in a school
