ISTE Standard Empowered Learner 1.a says learners “set learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process to improve learning outcomes.” Educators focused on brain-based learning understand that cognitive processes including metacognition, self-regulation, and executive function work in concert with memory to help students have rich, meaningful learning experiences (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018). Self-regulation, for example, involves students managing their cognitive activity to set goals and figure out how to achieve them. Additionally, in Fostering Student Creativity, Gura notes the importance of making creativity a priority (2020). Each of these processes can be supported with the disciplined integration of technology that help students create and produce meaningful content.
I really love your infographic layout. Very easy to read and fun graphics that relate to your topic. Great connections to creativity and Rivero technology supports. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Robin! This is Selena Mancini, and your infographic looks very engaging. I agree that educators who focus on brain-based learning processes and cognition will understand their students' learning development more effectively. Often, teachers can become confused with their students due to learning difficulties or misunderstandings. However, if teachers were to better understand metacognition, self-regulation, and executive function, they could guide students toward learning processes that are meaningful rather than stressful. I can see how important self-regulation is for students, especially with the demands of assignments, grading, extra-curricular activities, and home life. As a teacher, I believe it's important to set goals and help students achieve them.
