Informed Consent | notwilliam

https://notwilliam.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/informed-consent

Just another WordPress.com site. In psychology, one of the many ethical controls put in place is called informed consent, this means that before participants can take part in research they have to provide their consent. Informed consent is a useful tool as it also allows us to see which studies are contentious in nature as participants will refuse consent to studies they believe are overly harmful which can also be used to test our own ethical procedures and controls.

Laura's S.o.E weekly blog. The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Week 7 comment links. Synthesis blog →. Post 7: the effect of task difficulty on a child’s peer relationships. March 19, 2013. It has been suggested that what happens in a child’s peer group/friendship group can affect their development and functioning in almost every other aspect of their life (Gifford-Smith and Brownell, 2003). Further to this, Rimm (2002) (cited here. This point leads me to think that the allocation of more ch...

The Future’s Bright, The Future’s Female… | sarric

https://sarric.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/the-futures-bright-the-futures-female

Just another WordPress.com site. The Future’s Bright, The Future’s Female…. March 2, 2012. Throughout this blog I am going to argue that women are overall the harder working, more intelligent and domineering gender! Such divides can be explained by the theory of evolution. Women are more emotionally expressive, hence achieve higher in languages and the arts, whilst males have better spatial abilities as these were needed for hunting and gathering food. This suggests both males and females have th...The g...

Stereotypes in education | psud02

https://psud02.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/stereotypes-in-education

A blog about the Science of Education…. Skip to primary content. February 18, 2013. This perhaps explains how the majority of stereotypes are negative I could make a list, but I would manage to offend almost everyone reading this, so I won’t J. If we continue to inflict negative stereotypes on children at such a young age, they will continue to become true, perpetuating not only defecits in education, but difficulties when children feel under pressure to stay within their gender ‘appropriate’ stereotypes.

This blog is all about applying Psychology to Education. Procrastination and Cramming, the truth. How to improve recall (blog 2). Myths and Misconceptions about teaching. For this weeks blog I thought I would look at Snyders (2006) 6 Myths about teaching. This is an interesting view because there are so many excuses that have allowed the standards of education to remain low. 1 The myth of process. This is the focus on the jourmey through education rather than the actual learning that should tak eplace.

Discovery Learning | Science of Education Blog

https://psuce.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/discovery-learning

Science of Education Blog. In Wales since 2008 discovery learning is used in classroom through the ‘Foundation Phase’ (Play Wales, 2006) between the ages of 3 – 7 years old. They claim the reason for doing this is that it will help the child to develop personal and developmental skills, in addition to motivation and self- confidence. An additional problem of discovery learning is The Michael Effect (Stanovitch, 1986) which suggests that children with a good background knowledge in reading and mathematics...

Just another WordPress.com site. Skip to primary content. Can correlation show causality? March 11, 2012.
