Content: Unit 6 Content Standards Learning and Intelligence Students learn about learning, beginning with two methods of conditioning. Students also consider the type of learning that occurs simply by observing others, and how people remember what they have learned and how they solve problems. Taken from the Essentials of Psychology textbook Key Questions: Standard Area IVA: Learning Content Standards After concluding this unit, students understand: IVA-1. Characteristics of learning IVA-2. Principles of classical conditioning IVA-3. Principles of operant conditioning IVA-4. Components of cognitive learning IVA-5. Roles of biology and culture in determining learning Notes: from the National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula by the American Psychological Association (http://www.apa.org/education/k12/national-standards.aspx) Skills and Outcomes: When students have finished Formative/Summative Assessments: Students studying this topic, they will know and be able to: How do we learn? What are different types of learning? What is intelligence? How do we measure intelligence? How do reward and punishment work? Preview: journal writing on intelligence and smart. Pair/share List: write a list of superstitions. Explain how these myths might have first started, connect with the term conditioning Notes: read and mark up reading on Classical Conditioning page 171-176 Stimulus and Response activity – handout Activity: experiment using dots Introduce: operant conditioning by listing rewards and punishments in their lives for certain activities Apply: using four terms for operant conditioning, apply to different situations will complete the following products/other assessments to demonstrate the skills and understandings they have acquired. Mind Maps on four types of learning Cranium – play the boardgame to demonstrate the theory of multiple intelligences. Write a reflection to connect the principles with the game Journals Rain Man reflection – how does this film demonstrate the theory of multiple intelligences? Provide example Multiple Intelligence test: survey on which type of intelligence is strongest for each Are psychological disorders learned behavior? How does memory work? How does culture influence learning and behavior? Writing: using operant conditioning principles activity. Write procedures using all four components of operant conditioning to describe how a child might learn to change an eating habit of your choice Experiment: using the classroom lights and a sound, condition students to have their pupils dilate when they heard that sound, regardless of the light Case study: to tell the difference between classical and operant conditioning, read a series of scenarios and explain which type of learning is occurring Social learning – why do we observe and imitate some models and not others? What kind of models are to be imitated? TWPS Memory: list on the board common complaints students have about school. Share the handout “Remembering Information” which shares strategies for improving memory and studying. Board game: review memory and learning strategies Review: List 10 things you have learned in the past few years. Next to each, mark if you learned it through classical, operant, social or cognitive learning. If the list is skewed, it means you don’t view many of your behaviors as being learned. Try to think of an example for each category from your life. student. They chart their results and write a reflection Sample Intelligence tests: IQ, Mensa, Rorschach Project: Create a school using the theory of multiple intelligences Cognitive learning: On a blank piece of paper, in the center place where you live. Pick two places away from your home, one you like and one you don’t about the same distance away in opposite directions. Draw them to scale without using rulers. Connect the streets between your house and these places. Emotional factors should have worked themselves into your map without you realizing it. Is the place you don’t like farther away? Did you straighten the roads? Quiz/Tests on Learning and Intelligence
