List the Learning Principles according to four groups we discussed in class and in the text. Naming the principle is worth 3 points. Getting each group correct is worth 1 point for each group. (Total of 34 points)

Starting the Connection

____________________________________

Controlling the Amount and Form of Information

____________________________________

Strengthening Neural Connections

____________________________________

Allowing Time to Solidify Pathways

____________________________________

Identify the learning principle being described. (1 point each) You may use a principle more than once.

___________________1. Jalen found that his mind wandered less in class and could stay focused more when he took notes

___________________2. One reason Thad was having difficulty in his math class was that he was convinced he would never use it in real life.

___________________3. In order to find the important ideas, Alex looks for clues such as bold print, headings, summaries and review questions.

___________________4. Justin found that even though he understood things in class, he didn’t really remember them until he reviewed in some way to give the new information time to establish and solidify a neuronal pathway.

___________________5. Breanna found it easy to see how Bloom’s Taxonomy fit into the learning principles because she learned about it in Unit 1.

___________________6. Paige uses mnemonic devices such as words and sentences to cue her memory.

___________________7. When Keosha found herself getting bored in biology class, she and her study partner made games to help learn the material.

___________________8. John knows the more he knows about a subject the easier it will be to learn, so he surveys chapters before he reads and keeps up to date with homework assignments.

___________________9. Monique finds that it is easier to understand new concepts if she asks herself “what is this like that I already know?”

___________________10. Charnisha found that when she made flash cards of things on the test, she could study a few cards at a time and she soon knew all the material.

___________________11. When Shannon finishes reading a paragraph in her history textbooks, she writes a question in the margin, then says the answer out loud in her own words.

___________________12. When something is difficult to learn, Richie tries to come up with a funny picture about it to help him remember.

___________________13. Sean finds that when he takes notes in class, then recites and visualizes them, the new material has time to soak in and he remembers it longer.

___________________14. Mina uses the Breathe System to check his posture and make sure he is paying attention in class.

___________________15. Emily could never remember her ATM password until she changed it to her phone number.

___________________16 Quinton finds he learns more in class by pretending there will be a quiz at the end of class covering the material presented that day.

___________________17 Darrin has found that it saves time and he actually learns more if he spreads out his study time to several short sessions each day.

___________________18. Kyla remembers things far better when she pictures them. She tries to make a video in her mind of new material she needs to learn. Recalling that material is sometimes as simple as “replaying” it.

Multiple Choice Select the best answer and put the (1 point each) letter in the blank.

___________________1. Short term memory holds only

a. 9-15 bits of information

as well as how it is related to prior learning.

____________________2. Memory and learning cause biological changes in the brain.

____________________3. The four steps of the learning process are gathering, analyzing, creating

new ideas and acting.

For biology class, you need to remember the taxonomy or classification of organisms in order: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Devise a sentence mnemonic to help you remember. (5 points)

____________ 1. Dendrite

AGap between axon and dendrite

____________ 2. Synapse B Cell Body

____________ 3. Neuron C Chemicals that transmit information between axons and dendrites

GLong single fiber that sends information

HTwig–like branches that receive information

Blooms Taxonomy Identify the highest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy that is being described in the following. (1 point each)

___________________1. You found some practical uses for the Learning principles and actually used them to study for a test.

___________________2. You had to memorize the names of the Learning principles.

___________________3. You made judgments that the Learning strategies you used worked or didn’t work and tried to decide if another strategy would work.

___________________4. You are able to take information that you need to learn, make connections and predictions that certain principles would work better than others.

___________________5. When you broke them down into what they actually do, you discovered that some of the Learning principles work best in combination with other Learning principles.

__________________6. Once you were able to list the Learning principles, you then worked on being able to understand and explain them.
