Assignment #2
1)Psychomotor learning is learning involving mental processes that control muscular activity. One exampled of psychomotor learning is a child playing an instrument, such as the recorder.
2)Cognitive learning deals with the acquisition of knowledge. This involves linking music with the child’s actual musical experience. Using pictures to explain musical symbols or notes can be very helpful when teaching music to children.
3)Affective learning is associated with a “feeling” response to music. Music expresses feelings in the children. One student could really be touched by a song because it talks about his/her heritage in the song.
4)Teacher-centered is when the teacher is a lecturer who presents material to the class by defining and explaining. The teacher basically explains exactly what information she wants the children to know. For example, the teacher would tell the students that each syllable in their name is one eighth note.
Child-centered learning actively involves the students in the learning process. The students try to solve a problem that is given by their teacher. The students use the trial-and-error elimination process to decide on their correct answer. For example, they would listen to a song and decide which song used one beat and which song did not.
5)I am a visual learning. I learn through pictures, charts, and graphs. It is hard for me to read something and correctly interpret the information without thinking about the problem as a picture. It really helps me in this music class when charts are drawn on the board. It helps me focus my attention to the syllabus and relate them to their meaning.
