My name is Amie Travis. I live in Charlotte, NC and have lived here my entire life. I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am studying elementary education and plan to one day go into administration. I have triplet sisters that are 6 years old, a 19-year-old brother, and a 26-year-old sister. I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill my freshman year and then transfered to UNCC. I want to teach either first or second grade. After teaching for 3 years (minimum requirement to get into the school administration program) I plan on obtaining a master's in school administration. I speak a lot of spanish, but am not fluent. If I had the time in my college schedule I would love to take more spanish classes so that I could become fluent. I love working with kids and enjoy doing clinical hours in the schools.

-The U.S focuses primarily on behaviorism, information processing, and constructivism. -Behaviorism is teacher directed and mostly involves the teacher presenting content to the students where the students aren't really active -Information processing focuses on how people absorb their environment, encode information, and relate it to what they already know -Constructivism is very student centered and provides students with hands-on activities, problem solving and typically allows students to collaborate with others. -Constructivism has shown higher achievement and results for most content and is more stressed in most of our teacher education classes. However the behaviorist and cognitivism/information processing do have advantages for some things . |
-I would like to know what the main learning theories are called in Germany and which theories are encouraged -I would like to know how these theories are taught to teacher education students in Germany. |
