Didactic Strategies
  1. Theories
    1. Behaviourism
      1. every learner is essentially a “clean slate” to start off and shaped by emotions.
        1. names the most popular theorists who ascribed to this theory were Ivan Pavlov, B.F. Skinner and Albert Bandura.
        2. Social Cognitive Theory
          1. Typically spoken about at the early childhood level because it has to do with critical thinking with the biggest concept being the idea of play.
            1. Though Bandura and Lev Vygotsky also contributed to cognitive theory. the most popular and first theorist of cognitivism is Piaget.
          2. Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development
            1. Created in 1918
              1. There are 4 stages Each stage correlates with a child’s development from infancy to their teenage years.
                1. The first stage is called the Sensorimotor Stage which occurs from birth to 18 months.
                  1. the brain is literally growing through exploration, like squeaking horns, discovering themselves in mirrors or spinning things that click on their floor mats or walkers; creating habits like sleeping with a certain blanket; having reflexes like rubbing their eyes when tired or thumb sucking; and beginning to decipher vocal tones.
                  2. The third stage is Concrete Operational Stage from ages of 7-11
                    1. children are beginning to problem solve, can have conversations about things they are interested in, are more aware of logic and develop empathy
                    2. The second stage, or the Preoperational Stage, occurs from ages 2 to 7
                      1. toddlers begin to understand and correlate symbols around them, ask a lot of questions, and start forming sentences and conversations, but they haven’t developed perspective yet so empathy does not quite exist yet, the website states
                      2. The final stage, called the Formal Operational Stage, though by definition ends at age 16, can continue beyond.
                        1. It involves deeper thinking and abstract thoughts as well as questioning not only what things are but why the way they are is popular, the site states. Many times people entering new stages of their lives like high school, college, or even marriage go through elements of Piaget’s theory
                    3. The Multiple Intelligences Theory
                      1. states that people don’t need to be smart in every single discipline to be considered intelligent on paper tests, but that people excel in various disciplines, making them exceptional.
                        1. Created in 1983, the former principal in the Scranton School District in Scranton, PA, created eight different intelligences, though since then two others have been debated of whether to be added but have not yet officially

                        2. Help teachers to reach their full potential
                          1. engage, motivate and reach the students in their classes, whether in person or online.
                            1. Methods
                              1. Also known as methodology, is a narrower topic because it’s founded in theories and educational psychology.
                                1. An action plan that comprises methods, techniques, and organization of instructions to achieve an intentional, reflexive, conscious, and self-directed learning in any given teaching-learning environment.
                              2. Something that is didactic is intended to teach people something, especially a moral lesson. In totalitarian societies, art exists for didactic purposes. Someone who is didactic tells people things rather than letting them find things out or discussing things.
