2- What is the learning perspective of cognitive theory?
3- Why is it important for students to interact with each other?

5- What were the reactions of students in experimental group towards the brainstorming strategy?
1) İt stimulates thinking,compels students to concentrateand organize their ideas,and cultivate their ability to summarize,analyse,and criticise.And also it reinforces learning in,thinking in,and reflecting on the english language.
ReplyDelete2) (first ı want to say that there more than one answer.please say me which one is the real answer)Learners select and organize information input,relate it to prior knowledge,retain what is considered important,use the information appropriately,and reflect on the outcomes of their learning efforts.\Learners are actively involved in directing their own learning in both classroom and nonclassroom settings.\students select from target language input,analyse language functions and forms perceived as important,think about their learning efforts,anticipate the kinds of language demands they may encounter,and activate prior knowledge and skills to apply to new language tasks.
3) it's important for students to interact with each other because theycan activate their thinking and create ideas which are crucial for foreign language learning.
4)the purpose is to help students move from a product based approach to a prcess focused approach in writng performance and evaluate brainstorming strategy instruction in an efl class
5)the reaction of exprerimantal classes ?,

iam waiting for your answer my teacher
ReplyDeleteHi Veysel, thank you for your answers, which are really to the point. The study was conducted on two groups of students. I asked the reactions of the students in the experimental group about the study.
ReplyDelete1) İt is considered because it stimulates thinking,compels students to concentrate and organize their ideas,and cultivates their ability to summarize,analyse,and criticize.İt also reinforces learning in, thinking in,and reflecting on the English language.
ReplyDelete2)Leaning is seen as an active, constarctive process in which learners select and organize information input,relate it to prior knowledge,retain what is considered important, use the imformation appropriately,and reflect on the outcomes of their learning efforts.
3)İt is important because students activate their thinking and create ideas which are crucial to foreign language learning.
4)İts aim is to help students move from a product-based approach to a process-focused approach in writing performance and evaluate brainstorming strategy instruction in an EFL class.
5)Most of the students think that brainstorming is useful.They also think that it helped them improve their english writing performance.
1) Writing is considered as an important skill because it arouse the thinking abiliyt,make students focus on organizing their own ideas,furthermore it helps student to learn how they should summarize,analyseiand criticize.In adition,it strengthen the English language.
ReplyDelete2) In cognitive theory, first of all learning is thought as useful process in which people choose and organize information input and relate it to prior knowledge.I think it is sth like a link between now and the past time.Moreover,it assists to retain what is significant,how to use information in a best way.With this view of learning,it seems that learning can be more succesfull also easier for learners of course on condition that they involve in directing their own learnings both in classroom and non-classroom activities..Students should think about what they would get difficulty in,foresee the kinds of language demands they may face,and activate prior knowledge in order to apply to new language tasks.
3) Interacting with one another is important because they activate their thinking also it gives them the opportunity of creating ideas which are essantial to foreign language learning.
4) The main target of this study is to bring students process-focused approach instead of product-based approach and assessbrainstorming strategy insruction in an EFL class.
5) The experimental group were more efficent in finding a topic,finding ideas for topic,interacting with each other and organizing ideas.While the control class in this experiment followed the tradional product-based approach,it was quiet different for experimental classes.They followed:
*Thinking indivudially
*Verbalizing ideas in pairs or groups
*Brainstorming ideas in oral and note forms
*Classifying ideas into proper categories
*Completing the writing task in 30 minutes
ıt is clearly seems that the experimental classes had more beneficial than the control classes..
1)Because,writing helps students gain many things in every way.For example,they begin to learn to organize and criticize their ideas.They begin to learn English in a right way.
ReplyDelete2)In cognitive theory,learners organize information input,relate it to prior knowledge,retain what is considered important,use the information appropriately,and reflect on the outcomes of their learning efforts.
3)Because,in this way,students exchange their idea with others,and they have different point of view,and this interacting helps students use the brainstorming strategy.
4)The aim of the study is helping students move froma product-based approach to a process-focused approach in writing and also evaluating brainstorming strategy.
5)The brainstorming strategy seemed useful for students.They felt positive about this,and also they thought that this helped them improve their writing skill.
are you sure of the answer merve
