Task 4

The document outlines a teaching practice task involving identifying teaching activities related to behaviorist and constructivist learning theories. It provides examples of 5 classroom activities observed, the learning theory each relates to, and an evaluation of student engagement for each. The activities include using colored groups based on ability levels according to Vygotsky's zone of proximal development; using visual and kinesthetic models to teach multiplication; using manipulatives like cubes to represent multiplication problems concretely, pictorially, and abstractly; playing an online math game to review a lesson; and teaching a problem-solving approach based on Polya's four steps.

Teaching Practice Task 4: From Theory to Practice

Program link: This task is associated to the guidelines of the course EPR 3003 – Mathematics for
the Primary School Teacher Course learning outcomes 2 – Recognize the relationship between
how children learn mathematics with the theories of learning and their psychological impact on
learning math.

Objective: You will identify teaching and learning activities that can be related to behaviorist
and constructivist theories. You will note at least ten activities (for English, Math or Science)
that the teacher or you used. For each activity noted, identify the theoretical perspective and
evaluate the activity for engagement.
