The Behaviorist Views Of Learning In An Open Entry/Open Exit, Self-Paced Vocational Class
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. The concept of self-paced, open entry/open exit vocational learning represents a double-edged sword for traditional behaviorists, inasmuch as the fundamental element of teaching from the behaviorist perspective is "essentially a matter of arranging contingencies of reinforcement so as to produce and maintain prescribed behaviors" (Kadlubowski, 2001). Self-paced, open entry/open exit learning for vocational classes, by contrast, is devoid of the very boundaries inherent to conventional teaching, leaving students to experience – if not establish – the ebb and flow of instruction on an entirely personal basis, ultimately controlling how much material they absorb and when. This environment not only goes against the very grain of traditional learning application by allowing students to determine for themselves what and when they learn, but – according to behaviorists - it also serves to wholly reconstruct the manner by which students garner and make use of appropriate study habits. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Bell Curve Debate
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Sociologists and psychologists have long studied the aspect of intelligence as it relates to individual learning aptitude. Establishing such findings is accomplished through a number of testing approaches that attempt to categorize people as to their overall intelligence. However, such approaches are focused more significantly upon general findings, rather than the individual's specific understanding, inevitably serving to underestimate a person's true aptitude. One such method that has long been under the scrutiny of debate is the bell curve. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

These include the ability to hone communication skills, the ability to gain useful occupational and academic information from other group participants, as well as advantages in being exposed differing cultural and racial schemata.
