Cognitive Views of Learning

 03/19/2024

    When we take about knowledge, we need to take into account that we have general and specific knowledge, since we use some information in specific situation. For example, when we are at the doctor’s and we need to express about specific pain we need to know here the pain is and in some case the name of the area or organ. While there are some information that is general that we use in daily basic situations as our daily life when we talk about weather for instead. 

    We also need to keep in mind that we have three source of memory. We have the long term memory that is the one that store all the information we need to remember it can explicit or implicit. The working memory that helps us to work with information without losing a track this plays with sensory memory. Finally we have sensory memory that helps us process and detect stimulus and assign meaning.

    As well in we can mention that order to transfer information to the long term memory, we need to pay fully attention to what we want to remember, so our brain can store the information. This is because our brain starts creating connection with the prior knowledge to complete the storage. We also have automaticity that helps us to make a task without much mental effort so this can be perform even without our intentions.  

    As we could see in this post, we here is a huge process on how our memory store information. As well as different way that we use the information that our brain decide to storage. Beacuse there are some activities that can be automatically, there are others that request for critical thinking in our end.

Reflective Statement

 05/23/2023 When I started this course, I was advice I will to keep taking notes about class. However, I did not think it would be that challenging and enriching for me. As I am taking my last year of university and I am enroll in a TESOL class, as part of my graduation process, the class and I were requested to keep journaling every class since that would help to the one of the last activities for the subject. However, in some part of the course I started to procrastinate some of the journals, until I realize I was missing more than 40% of the classes. That cause me difficulties when I was trying to keep on track with them. On the other hand, this was the first time journaling in my life, so I was taking just some notes that it was considered relevant for me, nevertheless, when I was asked to start this blog using my journals and summarize my class it was a big issue, because I have assumed that short notes would be enough, but it was not. Due to so,   I   had to check...

March 21st 2024       In this case we will take a very short view to the back “The subtle art of not giving a f@ck” Nowadays, we live in a very superficial society that judge us for everuthing and nothing. This societi even judge us before we have even start our projects. This negative feedback we can also make us feel as we are no capable to do something, and what is worst, we have even tried. In this book also share with use that we need to really need to focused on what matters and not in what other people thinks that may happen. In this book    Bukowski was consider a bad person on his worst days, however, he was able to achieve his goal to be a writer.

In this chapter we find that we are giving more attention to thing that may not be important. As it is expr...

 Feb 29 2024      As we have reviewed in previously post, we are dealing to understand how culture can act around the world at the time that we are in an ESL classrooms environments, since culture plays a strong role at the time that we are giving and received classes in ESL context. In this opportunity we will focus our attention on Kibun.   If we have not heard the word “Kibun” we can related as “mood”. Basically is the mood that a student’s shows at the time they participate. As teachers we need to know that students are not always comfortable or willing to participate in the class. According to Fisher (1991) in Japan “Kidun refers to how people feel or think about something” we can notice about this by taking a look at their no-verbal communication as: eye contact, behaviors, facial expressions, etc. On the other hand in Korea Kibun, refers more to “mood” and “feeling”. Kibun in Korea also appears in social hierarchy, since in some case teachers and employer...
