1. How does this topic fit into what I have learned already in this course?
Cognitive processes perception, working memory, long-term memory, Metacognition, mental imagery are all put into consideration when we design instruction. In this week reading the design of learning environment and effective teaching learner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment –centered and community –centered learning environments are introduced and how each environment is linked to different types of cognitive skills. The next chapter deals with how to teach different disciplines in relation to teaching methods in different subject areas like math, history and science. This chapter relates to our text with the cognitive skills students utilize to understand and practice the above subjects.
2. What am I still not clear on in this week's reading(s)?
I don’t think there is a distinct difference between learner centered and knowledge centered environments, they should go together, or I think knowledge centered should include learner-centered. When we try to implement knowledge-centered learning, we should consider learner-centered to understand the cultural values and past experiences of the students.
3. Under what conditions would I apply this material to my own teaching/work?
I think community-centered learning environment can be used in any conditions in academic environment as well as training environment; when people share or discuss their opinions, information or a certain skill flows among students with different backgrounds; students can benefit a great deal.
