Research and describe some ways in which any learning theory is used in the classroom to enhance teaching

there is a way of thinking that could trick your brain into wanting to learn and if not then learn more, it is the super mario effect, and what this way of thinking is basically turning a test into a game and thinking of the issues as a pit or a green shell or whatever you want them to be, because like a video game your end goal is to finish what you started or to save the princess and get through all the challanges, this is the best way i could summerize it but this isn't my idea there is a video that goes into detail on TEDx talks, look up "super mario effect" and you should be able to find something, hope this helps!

Explanation:

Many subfields of psychology deal with studying and understanding human learning. Educational psychologists, child psychologists, and developmental psychologists help create, evaluate, and improve teaching methods used in classrooms. They apply learning theories to develop effective teaching techniques.

Applied behavior analysis is a research-oriented field that studies the effects of classical and operant conditioning on human behavior. Some teachers choose to use a teaching method based on operant conditioning. In operant conditioning, individuals learn behaviors by interacting with their environment and through reinforcements, punishments, and voluntary responses. Educationists apply operant conditioning in a classroom setting using several methods.

One method of applying operant conditioning in the classroom involves rewarding. For example, Ms. Maple, a third-grade teacher, is teaching students the multiplication tables from 1×1 up to 10×10. She sets a challenge for the students. She tells them that each week they must learn one of the 10 tables and take a test at the end of the week. Students will earn a star for passing each test, and their stars would be displayed on a progress chart displayed in the classroom and updated each week. Ms. Maple informs the students that after 10 weeks, she would invite all the students who earn at least seven stars to a pizza party.

In this example, Ms. Maple applied operant conditioning to motivate her students to learn. The stars act as a positive reinforcement for the students. The children will see their peers earning stars and thus be motivated to earn stars. With this goal, they will study harder. Studying is the strengthened behavior. In addition, Ms. Maple has promised her students a pizza party but only if they earn at least seven stars; this motivates the students to try equally hard each week and not give up.

Another method of applying operant conditioning in the classroom involves negative reinforcement. In negative reinforcement, an undesired element is removed to increase or strengthen a desirable behavior. Exempting students who complete their homework during the week from a weekend assignment is an example of a negative reinforcer.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
