Aristotle is the brains behind the Virtue Ethics and Nichomachean Ethics

According to Greek Philosopher Aristotle when we talk of virtues it is the middle ground
of the 2 extremes

The middle ground is what we called virtues the one side is deficiency and on the other
side is what we called excess and both sides are called extremes

According to Aristotle the best part is the middle ground because it is called the golden
mean and it is also called balance and if it has balance it is also what we called virtue.

7 deadly sins are also found in Christian theology or in the bible

1. Envy (jealousy)
2. Greed (avarice/covetousness)
3. Lust (passion/desire)
4. Wrath (anger)

Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the ones who thought or hypothesize how do people
learn? So that they want to seek Knowledge and Truth

Theories of how people learn is people is learning thru their own

Knowledge and the truth come from oneself or RATIONALISM.

They also believe that learning would come from external observation or we called
empiricism.

RATIONALIZE-reasoning out

Empirical Evidence-based on experiences

When we talked about knowledge and truth we will talking about learning.

People behave differently because they have different learnings we are not the same
because we have our own personal and environmental experiences.

Learning is defined as a process of bringing together personal and environmental


experiences and influences for acquiring enriching or modifying one’s

1. Knowledge
2. Skills
3. Values
4. Behaviors
5. Worldviews
6. Attitudes

Different Learning Theories (5 Major Learning Theories)

1. Behaviorism
-believes that people learn thru interaction with the environment.
3 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues

-Education has a social component wherein individual has to interact with the
environment.
2. Cognitivism
-cognition is mind
-mental processes
-this theory talks about how information is received, organized, stored and
retrieved in the mind and how they are being processed.
-the purpose is to store knowledge, memory, problem-solving, thinking, etc…
3. Constructivism
-constructing and understanding knowledge thru previous or prior learning and
experiences.
4. Humanism
-this theory talks about teaching the wholeness of the child
-self-actualization means that the fullest potential has been harnessed
-the purpose is to expose the fullest potential of a child
- 3 domains of learning
1. cognitive
2. affective
3. psychomotor

In psychology, learning has a term called conditioning.

BEHAVIOR OF PEOPLE
-in studying camillian values and virtues we must know what should be appropriate or
inappropriate behaviors because it reflects in the kind of upbringing, education or
breeding we manifest externally.

-Why do people have different behaviors? Because there is what we called


individual differences.

-Individual Differences would stand for some variations or deviations(changes) in


terms of people in regard to a particular characteristic.

What are those differences that is unique from other individual?


1. Differences in interests
-every individual has his/her interests.

2. Differences in Values
-we are different in values and virtues it emphasizes on what is more important in
everyone’s life.

3. Differences in attitudes
-we are also differencing in everyone’s attitude so we must respect each other.

4. Differences in psychomotor skills


-psychomotor skills- use of body movements

5. Differences in study & other habits

6. Differences in self concept


- we are different in our own concepts defining who we are.

What major causes how come people different from one another?

1. People are different because of Hereditary Factors (Genetics) [nature]


-we have different endowments, abilities, capabilities, capacities, etc…

2. People are different because of Environmental Factor [nurture]


-because the environment the experiences and the influences that we have had in
dealing in our environment would of course make or unmake us as individuals.

Because of that the environmental factors will brings us in the learning theories.

1. Behaviorism
- S-R sequence (Stimulus-Response Sequence)
- you may act or respond by virtue of the stimulus that comes in our
experience or influences us from the manner of what we are to be.
- learning from the interaction from the environment
- the problem of this theory is it has innate or inherited factors have little influence
on how people behave.
- behaviorism are for those who are observable or quantifiable behavior.
- positive/negative reinforcement
- concept of motivation
- concept of repetition.

Self-concept pertains to self-image

Self-image will be the totality of our values, attitudes, and judgements on how you
present yourself in the outside world and how others see you.

BEHAVIORISM
-there are 3 major prominent luminaries

-fathers of behaviorism

1. John B. Watson
-father or the founder of behavioral learning theory where he studies the concept of
conditional process.
-before behaviorism there is introspection where it only knows the mental state of an
individual. And it is not quantifiable.
-introspection will also talked about consciousness
5 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues

-Watson said that only scientific, observable, quantifiable behavior shall be considered
as a part of national science.
-from the concept of introspection it has to be go out outside we see it on observable
behavior
-Watson also says that any behavior or action is a product of an individual’s interaction
with this environment. Little Albert study is one of his study.
-Watson said the process of conditioning based on the demands on this environment or
would be the factor in shaping the behavior as well as the personality of the individual.
-the process of conditioning paved the way is making the psychology as a discipline of
natural science.

BEHAVIORISM
we are focusing on the other 2

2. Ivan P. Pavlov
-he is the one who discovered classical conditioning where he uses DOGS in his
experiment.
-classical conditioning is a type of learning that generates unconscious or
automatic response.
-this learning creates through association something between US or uncondition
stimulus with a NS or Neutral Stimulus that creates naturally occurring reflex.
-as I said earlier Ivan Pavlov uses dogs in his experiment.
-the neutral stimulus is the tone or a sound that produced.
-the unconditional stimulus is the food.

3. B.F. Skinner
-he was the proponent of what we called: operant conditioning
-operant- any active behavior upon the environment that creates
consequences.
-operant conditioning was you associate between any behavior and a
consequence.
-this learning has something to do with the employment of what we called
reinforcement or punishment and this operates with rats or lab rats.
-his experiment can also be applied in a structured or natural setting like
classrooms, (whenever a child would like to recite the teacher would always give
him a positive reinforcement).
-operant conditioning, we always associate with a certain behavior with a
consequence.
-the work of skinner was inspired by the work of Edward Thorndike and his work is
all about the law of effect
-law of effect states that whenever an action or behavior produces undesirable
outcome would not be repeated. But if he produces a desirable outcome it will
be repeated.

-skinner would always say that his believe was not to focus on introspection or
mental state and was not of the internal thoughts and motivations because it
cannot be observed and quantified.

Identify also the main or who is the proponents of cognitivism and give them
contributions.

Video Lecture no. 9 (part 1)


Date: February 23, 2022

COGNITIVISM
-cognition which means the mind, thought or mental process.
-when we talked about the processes that happen in the mind these are all
internal.
-cognitivism is the reaction of the behaviorism
-according to cognitive learning theory, even there was a response in
behaviorism it will happen because there is what we called: interference of the
internal processes of the mind.
-mind is considered information processor it is like computer.
-it receives information
-it organizes information
-it stores information; and
-it retrieves the information
-clt may involved mental processes.

Frederic Bartlett
Jean Piaget

They introduced schema or schemas

Schema-otherwise known as schemata. It is the prior knowledge based on the


experiences that you have had in the past or in the environment.

When we talked about schema we are talking about what we called symbolic mental
contructs (abstract mental structures) or mental framework.

Network-it is composed on several things.

There are diff. kinds of schema

Object schema
-your concept about a certain object

Person schema
-you also have knowledge about the person

Self-schema
-you also know yourself

Events schema

before and individual response to a certain stimuli It involves also mental processes so
that he could respond will be appropriate to a particular stimulus.

Theory of Cognitive Development

Jean Piaget-he was a swiss psychologist


-he was a constructivist and also a cognitivist.

Theory of Cognitive Development has 4 assumptions

When we talk about cognition we talked about mental processes.

Mental processes may also develop through different stages.

4 assumptions of Cognitive development theory

1. They happen in the same order


-this is applicable to all individuals will experience the same order what piaget’s
talked to us
2. No stage can be skipped
-
3. Each stage is a significant transformation
-there is transformation in the previous stages
4. Every later stage incorporated all the previous stages into itself.
-when you reached this stage you have already incorporated the 3 stages.

Different Stages of Cognitive Development of Jean Piaget

I. Sensorimotor Intelligence (0-2 yrs/old) Baby/infant


-they cannot talk
-they construct knowledge by touching, manipulationg objects, looking at
you, listening, chewing and biting.
II. Pre-operational Stage (2-7 yrs/old)
-dramatic play
-they have simple concepts about the existence of certain objects which
means children make believe.
-they have basic representations.
-metacognition is reflecting and monitoring of thinking itself.

Continuation of Different Stages of Cognitive Development of Jean Piaget

III. Concrete operational thinking/stage (7-11 yrs/old)


-concrete means specific and tangible
-children is they operate their way of thinking in terms of concrete or specific
objects or events.
-the main feature of this is they have the mental process is called reversibility
and also decentration.
-Reversibility-they can already think of different basic steps of a process.
-Decentration- they can do tasks all at the same time or otherwise known as
multi-tasking.
-more organized
-more flexible
-they can do arithmetic tasks

IV. Formal operational thinking/stage (11-beyond yrs/old)


-they now know how to operate forms or representations.
-ideas
-they could think about hypothetical situations or problems or abstract
situation.
-they now know how to solve scientific problems or experiments.
-they can think hypothetically, abstract sense, scientifically.

Key features of Cognitive Development

1. They happen in the same order sequentially.


2. No stage can ever be skipped.
3. Every stage is a significant transformation of a prior stage
4. Every later stage incorporated the features of the 3 previous stages.

-adjusting new experiences to fix prior concepts.
2. Accommodation
-adjusting concept to fit new experiences.

B. Summarize the socio-cultural development theory of cognitive development

SOCIO-CULTURAL THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Lev Vygotsky
-Russian Psychologist

Socio-cultural Theory of Cognitive Development


-long term changes in the processes called memory as well as thinking processes.
Socio – Society
Cultural – Culture

The impact of Culture in Learning will have a very big influence in his cognitive
development.

This theory is all about places crucial importance of social process or socially-mediated
process wherein the learning of individual learns thru social interactions in his
community.

Concept of ZPD or Zone of Proximal Development


Proximal mean near the center.

ZPD refers as a gap between what a child already knows, and what he does not know
yet.

The ZPD is the distance between the actual developmental level and potential
developmental level.

Actual Developmental Level


-things or areas which the child already knows doing independently.

Potential Developmental Level


-this is the area which the child needs help.

-father of school of thought. Which he also founded known as pragmatism.
-pragmatism or instrumentalism
-pragmatism means practicality
-when we talk about pragmatism we are talking about practicality of things.
Concepts of education process or pragmatism
The best way to educate a child is to make the curriculum relevant by:
- Learning by doing (using skills)
-we are learning about practical life skills
-it is not sufficient to learn purely theories, it has to be supplemented in practice.
- Theory + practice are closely linked
- Ones experience is needed to gain knowledge
- he is also a believer of experiential education wherein the experience is needed
or it is connected with one’s ability to gain knowledge.

2. Jerome Bruner
-father of spiral approach of education/spiral curriculum
-spiral curriculum – revisiting concepts
-each time you revisit the concept there is a deepening your knowledge.
-theory of scaffolding of learning

Scaffolding of Learning

-scaffolding is a process in which a teacher demonstrates or models on how to solve a


problem,

-the purpose of this theory is the student has a greater chance of using that skill or
knowledge independently.

-Bruner also mentions the 3 modes of knowledge acquisition

3 modes of knowledge acquisition

1. Enactive knowledge acquisition/representation or action-based (0-1 yrs old)


-is how people acquire knowledge
2. Iconic knowledge acquisition/representation or image-based (1-6 yrs old)
3. Symbolic knowledge acquisition/representation or language based (7 yrs old

SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY by Albert Bandura

Albert Bandura is a Canadian-American Psychologist and he is also famous in the Bobo


Doll Experiment.

Bandura is also the one who first demonstrated the Concept of Self-efficacy

CONCEPT OF SELF-EFFICACY
-we are talking about one’s belief in his own capabilities.
-Self-efficacy – each individual is bestowed with his own intelligence, physical attributes,
traits and characteristics.
-Self-efficacy – we are talking about the ability to do something and the effort that you
put in doing something.

SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY


-we are talking about the importance of observing, modeling and imitating or what we
called cognitive or mental processes.
-he said that there are the mediating processes.
-mediating processes is what we called cognitive processes.

Observational Learning or Modeling

Bobo Model Experiment by Albert Bandura


-an inflated clown face toy balloon.
-a young lady had to exhibit aggression.
-the aggression was witnessed by Kinder children.
-after they have observed they will imitate what they’re observed.

Before human learning could occur there will be 4 processes in the observational
learning.

Observation+4 processes=learning.

4 mental processes:

1. Attention
-the subject must be interesting
2. Retention
-pertain to remembering what you have observed
3. Reproduction
-imitating what you have seen
4. Motivation
-if there is no motivation you have not exhibit the behavior that you would like to
show.

Motivation is either internal or external

External by people around you


Internal if you are happy in what you are doing

Observational Learning is In Cognitive Process

Bandura believes that learning should happen through his interaction with the
environment through a stimulus then if there’s a stimulus, the individual would be
impaled to respond to that stimulus and that is what we called the input and the
12 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Block A

output. Bandura elaborated by saying that, that is not the case that we have to go
directly and respond to the stimulus but there are the mediating processes or the
cognitive or mental processes.

Assumptions of Albert Bandura

1. Mediating processes occur between the Stimulus and Respond/SR


2. Learning comes from the environment through a process we call observational
learning.

Assignment no. 9: Explain the subsumption theory of learning by David Paul Ausubel

And what is the importance of ausubel’s theory?

Subsumption Learning Theory of David Paul Ausubel


-came from the word subsume.
-how to get information in.

Schemas or Schematas
-cognitive framework
-mental structure to store & interpret information.

Subsumption Learning Theory of David Paul Ausubel


-what is meant by meaningful learning.
-where he tries to tie or relate this to existing knowledge.

Rote memorization – what we can do is to memorize and no interaction at all.

Relating the new material in the existing knowledge and it impacts or retained in your
long-term memory.

He does not want rote memorization so, he advocates deductive learning.

Deductive learning – is the general idea and put it on specific.

Inductive Learning – you put assumptions on specific first then go to general or opposite
of deductive learning.

Meaningful Learning – we talked about relating the new information to your existing
knowledge in your cognitive structure.

13 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues


Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Block A

Constructivism – is a learning theory that learners construct knowledge by their own


instead of just merely taking information.

The learner became an ACTIVE learner.

It is now the learner who will construct knowledge by the previous knowledge through
his schema.

Concepts of Constructivism:

1. Assimilation
-is the process of taking in new information and fitting it in the existing schema.
2. Accommodation
-is a process of using the newly-acquired information to revise and re-develop an
existing schema.
3. Equilibration (Equilibrium)
-the sense of balance between your schema and that of your environment.

Information, Knowledge, Ideas/Concepts, Representation, Images and etc.. that we


need to put into our schema.

CONSTRUCTIVISM LEARNING THEORY


-comes from the word construct
-a learning theory that affirms the acquisition or creation of knowledge is done by a
process of

1. Action
2. Reflection
3. Construction

-when we talk of constructivism, inquiry is covering learning.

Difference between Cognitivism and Constructivism

Cognitivism – using of intellect (mental) the primary mechanism to use is your logic and
the learner as considered as the information processor.

Constructivism – using of intellect (logic) + personal or humanistic approaches.

Major Proponents who contributed in Constructivism are:

1. Jean Piaget
-the theory of cognitive development.
-interaction of experiences + ideas in the creation of knowledge
2. John Dewey
-he was the founder of school of thought which called pragmatism.
-he emphasize inquiry + the integration of practical activities.
-best known in learning by doing victum.
-its not only inquiring there are other ways by which you have to learn.
3. Lev Vygotsky
-known in socio-cultural theory of learning development.
-he said culture affects assimilation and accommodation of knowledge.

-american psychologist
-principles of meaningful learning
-concept of deductive reasoning
-advance organizers

Meaningful Learning
-Is one single factor that influences learning.
-we talked about relating the new information to your existing knowledge in your
cognitive structure.

Deductive Reasoning
- Deductive reasoning is a logical approach where you progress from general ideas to
specific conclusions. It's often contrasted with inductive reasoning, where you start with
specific observations and form general conclusions. Deductive reasoning is also called
deductive logic or top-down reasoning.

Inductive Reasoning
- Inductive reasoning is a method of drawing conclusions by going from the specific to
the general. It's usually contrasted with deductive reasoning, where you go from
general information to specific conclusions. Inductive reasoning is also called inductive
logic or bottom-up reasoning.

15 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues


Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Block A

The concept or theory of meaningful learning is that learned information is completely


understood and can now be used to make connections with other previously known
knowledge, aiding in further understanding.

ADVANCE ORGANIZERS
-observation cues or reminders
-to help link the new material that you would like to study to your pre-existing or
knowledge framework.
- Ausubel's idea of an "advance organizer" is to relate what a student already knows to
the new content to be learned and thus increase retention. Advance organizers should
be at a higher level of abstraction, generality, and inclusiveness than the content to be
presented.

2 Kinds of Advance Organizers

1. Comparative Organizers
-reminders to integrate
- presented when material is relatively familiar or when new ideas will be
integrated with prior knowledge.

2. Expository Organizers
- Expository advance organizers give students a broad idea of the lesson's
purpose before the lesson begins. For example, a teacher may tell students what
the lesson's goals are: "We've talked about what habitats are and why some
animals prefer to live in different places than other animals do.

unconscious thoughts, desires, urges, feelings, and memories.

Maslow’s theory is a response to behaviorism and also the work of Sigmund Freud.

Hierarchy of Needs Theory

- We have to study what makes an individual happy.


- What are the things he needs to do in order to attain happiness?

Psychoanalytic/Structural Theory of Personality by Sigmund Freud

There are 3 fundamentals structures of human mind:

1. Id – more on instinctual or the most primitive part of the human mind.


2. Superego – we are talking about the conscience of the individual. More
concerns about norms or the moral compass of an individuals.

3. Ego – we are talking about yourself. Practical side of the human mind and we
view things based on the pragmatic side within the context of reality.

According to freud the 3 fundamental structures are always interplay on one another
resulting at times on what we called conflict.

Hierarchy of Needs Theory

Self-actualization – the
utilization and exploitations
of an individual
capabilities, potentiality
and skills.

Esteem needs – refers to


appreciation, and respect.

Social needs – to love, affection, and


belongingness.

Security/safety needs – financial security, health


and wealth care.

Physiological needs – are the basic needs that we as human


beings need like: food, clothing, air, shelter, and sex.

Do all individuals able to self-actualize?

The answer is this is just an aspiration and if this is an aspiration it may be achieved or
not achieved but most likely because aspiration is an ideal.

Maslow said on this hierarchy is “what a man can be, he must be.”

Individuals can actually self-actualize if they want to.

Block A

• According to Freud the 1st five years in the life of the child are the most critical in
developing the personality of a child.
• he discussed that life revolves around tension and pleasure.
• Tension – conflict
- is created of what we called the libido (is what we called “libog” or sexual
energy or sexual drives, sexual instincts.)
- once you do not release the libido there will be a conflict.
• Pleasure
• This theory actually mentions five (5) stages.

The Five Stages of Psychosexual Theory

1. Oral Stage (birth to 1 yr old.)


- the erogenous zone of this stage is the mouth.
- if the baby uses this erogenous zone like biting, and thumb sucking there is
tension and pleasure.
- if the baby uses it because he is tensed he is releasing it in the form of pleasure.
The pleasure is of course being invested with all the activities he did.
2. Anal Stage (1-3yrs old)
- the erogenous zone of this is the anus.
3. Phallic Stage (3-6 yrs. Old)
- the erogenous zone of this is the penis and the clitoris.
- when the child is curious about his/her genitalia, there is tension.
- in this stage he/she releases the libido thru self-pleasure or what we called,
masturbation.
- Oedipus Complex – relating to the boys
- Electra Complex – relating to the girls
4. Latency Stage (6 yrs. Old to puberty.)
- latent means hidden
- the sexual energy is repressed or dormant because at this age children are
busy with school, hobbies or their friends and etc.
- according to Freud during these stage the individual’s sexual desires or drives
are repressed because of the sublimations.
5. Genital Stage (puberty-adulthood.)
- the erogenous zone is the penis and vagina.
- according to Freud life revolves in tension and pleasure
- the libido will be released through sexual intercourse.

Erogenous Zone
- the portion or part of once body that is very sensitive to sexual simulations.

Psychosocial Stages of Development by Erik Erickson

• He places emphasis or focus on social experiences of the individual or social


interactions and relationships.

Erik Erickson - he is a Danish-German-American Psychologist or Psychoanalyst.

There are 8 stages in the Psychosocial Stages of Development

19 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues


Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Block A

1. Trust vs Mistrust (birth-18 months)


- this stage is on infancy.
- the event that will be prominent at this age is feeding.
- if a child develops trust, then he has ego strength/quality.
- in this stage, the child is very dependent to his parents/caregivers.
2. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (early childhood or 2-3 yrs old)
- the event that will be prominent at this age is toilet training
- this stage talks about self-control and develops independence of a child by
virtue of toilet training.
- but if a child don’t discharge in the bowel toilet it will result self-doubt. No
control results doubt.
- also, this stage, children exercising their basic skills and preferences, as to
choices they make like choosing.
3. Initiative vs. Guilt (children in pre-school or 3-5 yrs old)
- the event that will be prominent at this age is the exploration in the form of play
- the children would like to control and leadership. They try to
- if they develop control they are more likely become competent developed
skills by the pressure of school work.
4. Industry vs. Inferiority (children of school age or 6-11 yrs old)
- the event that will be prominent at this age is mastery of learning or mastery of
school work.
- children would have to cope with the social and academic demands.
- the child overcome industry when they get good reviews of compliments from
teachers, parents, peers.
- in this stage, if the children successfully develop industry they become more
capable whereas if they can’t do the special skills they will develop inferiority
and they have very low sense of self.
The first 4 stages are what we called a period of childhood.
Stages 5-8 will be the adulthood stage.

In every stage, there is a conflict. In that conflict what are we going to develop in
case of conflict according to Erickson?

Because there is a conflict, an individual or a baby or a child because we are


talking about the stages 1 to 4, a baby or a child will tend to develop a certain on
what we call psychological quality.

In order for a child or a baby to proceed in another stage, he must be able to


overcome a conflict. And once the child successfully overcomes the conflict, he
develops a psychological strength (ego strength/ego quality). But if he is not
successful then there is inadequacy that develops on what we call inferiority.

A child must be nurtured with love, affection, care, warm, food and it has to be
reliable and available to him so that they will have a positive attitude about life on
earth.

Conflict – it’s either you are successful in overcoming this conflict or you are a failure.
- a test of your psychological quality.

Stages 5-8 will be the adulthood stage.


5. Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence or 12-18 yrs old)
- you developed your identity in this stage>
- identity (sum total of your beliefs, ideals, values, etc that make up your own
personality.)
- the prominent event here is social relationships.
- if you are not successful in developing your identity you will become less
confident, inadequate and there is role confusion.
- identity crisis will develop if you are not successful in developing your
personality during adolescence period.
6. Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood or 19-40 y/o
- here you develop intimate relationships with opposite sex.
- if you are successful here of course you build secure and lasting relationship.
But if you failed the conflict then the result is isolation.
- thee event here is intimate relationships
7. Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood or 41-65 y/o)
- the prominent event in this stage is work and parenthood.
- you want to show something that will remain forever so you start building your
own family.
- if you are success in this conflict you will feel fulfilled. Otherwise you’ll fell
insecure or you develop stagnation.
8. Integrity vs. Despair (old age or 65 y/o to death)
- the prominent event here is a reflection of life.
- if you have a well-lived life than you gain wisdom/integrity but If you have
several failure or shortcomings then this will result regret/despair.

Montessori System of Education

Humanism – wholeness of the child


wholeness of the child means optimal development or the fullest potential.

In addition, humanism talks about the whole child meaning optimal


development in terms of:

1. Intellectual
2. Physical
3. Social
4. Emotional
5. Spiritual
6. Moral and others

The objective is to develop the freedom of choice, independence, respect.

The Key Features of the Montessori System of Education

1. Prepared Environment
- technical term in Montessori System of Education means clearly organized
system, carefully readied setting for children. It’s like a house with shelves
containing materials that will be used by the children in learning. The materials
are already organized according to the subject, and they are arranged from
right to left.
2. Montessori Materisals
- are scientifically design for practical learning (learning by doing).
3. The teacher acts as a facilitator
- acts only as a guide.
4. Mixed Age System
- there is no particular age grouping of children because they believe in the
uniqueness of human social experiences.
5. No Grade System
- the basis is actually what the children learned. Actual learning will have
something to do with response to the stimuli of learning.
6. Repetition
- repetition is the key to learning.

Humanism

One of the prominent humanistic theorists is Carl R. Rogers

Carl R. Rogers – American humanistic psychologist.

His theory is known as theory of personality. And he was also instrumental in


inventing or introducing the notion of self-concept.

Rogers was instrumental in introducing what we called the theory of personality


(yourself).

The term self is a humanistic term which we mean who you really are. Sometimes
they refer this as the inner personality, or your soul.

22 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues

Self-organized – an organized, consistent set of beliefs and perceptions of oneself.

When we think about healthy self-concept, we find it stable, confident


personality). While if you have a poor self-concept, you are unstable of lacking in
confidence.

Healthy Self-concept

1. It places in our environment


• where it is characterized with genuineness if we talking about genuineness we
are talking about self-disclosure or openness.
• Acceptance even who you really are, you have to be accepted in psychology it
called as UPR or unconditional positive regard.
• Empathy or being listened too or understood.

All of these descriptions should be in the environment so that you have a healthy
self-concept.

Self-concept – major sources in the development of self.

2. Child experiences.
3. Evaluation by other people.

UPR or unconditional positive regard


- acceptance of who you are that you are able to express your positive or negative
feelings without fear of being judged by others.

Carl Rogers mentioned 3 components of personality

1. Self-work
- self-esteem. It is also what you think of yourself. If you think yourself is high of
course you are confident. If you think yourself as law, you are inferior or you lack
confidence.
- self-work begins in the childhood.
2. Self-image
- means who you are.
- It is also what you think of what you see is also what you manifesting to other
people.
3. Ideal self
– is what you would like to be. Your experience here is not congruent or it is not
aligned into your ideal self.

Why are these principles important?

Every individual according to rogers, has one basic drive and that is the Self-
Actualization.

Fully Functionioning Person - he continues to self-actualize and the more that you
do.

• Self-concept is an individual's knowledge of who he or she is.


• According to Carl Rogers, self-concept has three components: self-
image, self-esteem, and the ideal self.
• Self-concept is active, dynamic, and malleable. It can be influenced by
social situations and even one's own motivation for seeking self-
knowledge.

Humanism

Benjamin S. Bloom was an American educational psychologist.

He is well known for his

• Domains of Learning
• Taxonomy of Educational Learning Objectives
• Mastery Learning

Domains of Learning
- we have 3 domains of learning

1. Intellectual or cognitive domain


2. Emotional domain or affective domain
3. Physical domain or psychomotor domain

When you educate the mind, it’s not only the mind that you need to educate
but also the hearts and body as well.

1. Cognitive Domain
- we are educating our minds.
- when we educate the mind or brain you have to be mindful of the hierarchy of
learning or the taxonomy of learning was first introduced in his study in 1956.
- according to Bloom in 1956, these are the processes that happened in the
cognitive domain.

Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (learning objectives)

This study was first introduced in 1956 but this taxonomy, they have some revisions
in 2005 introduced by David Krathwohl and his assistant Loren Anderson.

What are educational objectives? When we talked about educational


objectives the other term is learning goals. This are goals which means to expect our
students to master goals of learning, which means to also know to master after and
every lesson. The goal of the students is the knowledge and the skills of the learners.

Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (learning objectives)

The cognitive domain (Bloom, 1956) involves knowledge and the development
of intellectual skills. This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural
patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills.
There are six major categories, which are listed in order below, starting from the simplest
behavior to the most complex. The categories can be thought of as degrees of
difficulties. That is, the first one must be mastered before the next one can take place.

24 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues

In 1956, according to Bloom this are the processes that are happened in
cognitive domain and we are able to evaluate the skills.

Evaluation
Synthesis
Analysis
Application

Comprehe
nsion
Knowledge

This is the original Bloom’s Taxonomy. As we see they are all described in NOUNS.
But in 2001, David Krathwohl and Loren Anderson revised the Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Create
Evaluate
Analyze
Apply
Understand

Know

Instead of using NOUNS they revised the taxonomy of Bloom and decided to use
VERBS. Because this are more active we see how the child or the learner’s progress
depending on this action words.

This Taxonomy in the form of hierarchy meaning, you cannot proceed to the
other processes unless you have to perform first the processes before that. Meaning to
say, it will be subsumed.

When we talk about the cognitive domain, we talked about the hierarchy. In this
domain there is what we call the hierarchy and it refers the hierarchy or the levels of
learning. When we talk about the cognitive domain what we are after as the processes
or the levels of learning will be:

• Memory Word/Memorizing
• Critical Thinking
• Problem-Solving
• Creating new ideas/information

Video Lecture no. 29


Date: May 19, 2022

2. Affective Domain (emotional aspect)


- in this domain we should not only educate our mind, we also need to educate
our heart.
- in this domain would involved AVVIYA.

AVVIA

• Attitudes
• Values
• Virtues
• Interests
• Appreciation

These are the processes or the components involved

➢ Listening to and acquiring information first.


➢ Characterization means you have to study the character by itself
➢ Internalize the AVVIA
➢ Consistently live up for the values you believe in.

3. Psychomotor Domain (physical aspect)


- we are talking about being able to physically accomplished tasks.
- to perform movements and skills.

We will be able to accomplish tasks or perform movements and skills because of our:

• Basic reflexes and movements


• Non-discursive communication (even if you do not talk you can show it through
actions. Non-verbal).
• Meaningfully expressive activities

Benjamin Bloom is also well known for his concept of mastery learning. It means
you are able to acquire the competencies and skills needed in order for us to
understand the unit of activity with proficiency.

This mastery learning is usually familiar when it comes to STEM strand. It is usually
relevant to STEM subjects like physics, engineering, mathematics.

What will be our basis in saying that we are living in what we called mastery
learning? Of course, according to bloom, there should be a basis by which we will
determine the

1. Baseline data – it is where you should know what particular areas you are strong
in or not. (usually arrived at through diagnostic testing).
2. Clear learning objectives – we can say that our learning objectives are clear if
you’re subject matter or the unit you would like to impart if they are arranged
sequentially or in order according to increasing difficulty.
3. Engage your learners to educational activities – the educational activities we
pertain here is reading, problem-solving, critical thinking and etc.. the more
educational activities that you perform or your students will perform the better
because of the saying “PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT”.
4. Set minimum passing standards – it’s not only doing activities but you have to
also have your passing standard. Our minimum passing standard here in our
country is 75% but if you put it to 80 the better. You should always device a
standard and acceptable standard so that the learners or the students will be
motivated.
5. Formative testing per unit of learning/subject matter – before leaving a certain
unit or subject matter that you taught or you have known or you have been
informed or you have learned, there should be formative testing always.
Formative testing examples is summative testing. After every unit, you make a
test or a quiz that is how you form a formative testing.
6. Advancement to the next educational unit – if you have taken the chapter 1 well
the next educational unit will be chapter 2. But before you proceed to the
chapter 2 you should have mastered first the chapter 1.
7. Continued practice and study on the educational unit (s) to achieve mastery
learning - you do not stop you continue practicing and studying the educational
units until you are able to achieve mastery learning.

CONNECTIVISM

Comes from the word connect.

A major factor in this learning theory which is a relatively new learning theory.

From the world itself connect we connect of course through technology.


Because we are now in digital age.

This learning theory was introduced by 2 Canadians, George Siemens and Stephen
Downes.

George Siemens focuses on non-human appliances or machine-based learning.


Like computer.

27 | Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues


Notes in Camillian Values and Virtues
Block A

Stephen Downes contributes in this theory by the social aspects of connectivism.


When we talk about the social aspects, we are talking about dealing with people or
the use of the internet. You connect with another.

We have 2 concepts that are popular in this theory and that is the CONCEPT OF
NODES AND LINKS. Students are considered or treated as nodes, while when we talk
about links we talked about connections.

NODE is an/any object that can be connected to another object. Example


book, webpage and the internet or the computer.

The term NODE is now being referred to as the students. Node is an object that
maybe connected just like node in a network.

LINKS is connections. We connect with another and link is also a form of learning.

When we talk about CONNECTIVISM we used to connect. This learning theory


considers thoughts, theories, information. These are forms that can be on learning. We
need to connect to combine the three considerations.

Traditionally, learning was viewed through the internal construction of knowledge.

CONNECTIVISM does not only happen internally, it also happens outside the
individual. Means through connections or links with others.

8 Principles that are associated in CONNECTIVISM.

1. Learning and knowledge rest in diversity of opinions – because we connect, and


a lot of nodes will be participating.
2. Knowledge may reside in non-human appliances – the concept of George
Siemens. We are talking about the computer. Through the computer we go
through the internet so that we connect to other nodes.
3. Learning is more critical than knowing – learning is a process, so you have to go
to the process no matter how difficult it is. Learning is more important rather than
knowing.
4. Nurturing and maintaining knowledge are needed for continual learning –
learning never stops. So, we nurture it or we take care of it and we have to
maintain it in order for us to be able to sustain the knowledge that we had. In
short, never stops learning.
5. Learning is a process of connecting – this is the basic principle of connectivism.
We connect through links and we could only do this by using the computers.
6. Ability to see connections of fields, ideas, or concepts is a core skill – in the
process of connecting of course we have to analyze also the ideas, the
concepts the fields that you have to do. If you develop that ability it’s a core skill.
Core skill means life-long skill.
7. Accurate and up-to-date information – the ultimate aim of connectivism.
Meaning to say, that the latest. When the use of technology, information is
accessible in real time. Real time means when you sent something to another it
will be sent to another node in real time or the almost at the same time and
there is no lag time.
8. Decision-making is a learning process – well it is not only decision-making, it also
critical thinking, higher order or thinking skills. The 6th principle is one way of
learning our decision-making skills.

NATURALISM philosophy

Comes from the world nature.

According to this philosophy, nature is the ultimate reality of the world. Natural
world is the real world.

- Natural word is the real world. Means there is no other world than nature itself. It
also means we disregard in the supernatural or the spiritual world and also the
concept of values.
• Nature alone consists of all the answers that can be ask in the philosophical
world. The emphasis of nature. It will answer all of your question in the world of
philosophy.

“What you see is what you get.” What you see from nature or from the
environment is what you get.

They do not believe in God and the Spiritual Values.

When we talk about the natural world, we talk of matter, the material world.
Anything here on earth will be considered as the ultimate reality.

Salient features of NATURALISM

1. Knowledge is understood/comprehended through our own senses. – meaning


what you see is what you get. When you see you use your senses. Naturalism do
not want the artificiality of life.
2. Reality and nature are identical – what we see around us is what is real. And
what is natural is what is real.
3. No belief in the spiritual or supernatural world – this means that they do not
believe in God and they do not believe in spiritual values.
4. They regard scientific knowledge having the highest value – what they believe is
in natural world as being scientific. Their living is more on sciences. We are talking
about the things that are proven in scientific experiments.
5. No belief in Values – values are very subjective or it is not exact or precise. They
do not want subjectivity or relativity, what they want is more on the exactitude
on the particular object or person.
6. Laws of nature are unchangeable and the whole universe is grounded by them.
7. They view individuals as real and the structures in society as temporarily and
artificial.

When we talked about naturalism, it will also direct us to realism.

REALISM NATURALISM
• Seeks to represent real life. • They are more concerned about
preciseness, exactitude and
objectivity.
• More scientific
