influence learning mentioned in the video.
ELM 500 Topic 1:
Discussion Question 2
Select one of the theorists in Chapter 1 of Psychology of Learning for Instruction, such

ELM 500 Week 1 Assignment
Reflection of How People Learn
Details:
Watch the video “How People Learn:
Introduction to Learning Theory,” which details how teaching has been described
in many ways and presents similes comparing teachers as actors, as story
tellers and as coaches. Many more similes can be found in your readings.
In a 500-750-word paper, describe the
simile that captures your own ideas about teaching and how it reflects one or
more of the learning theories from this week’s reading. The simile may be one
you read about or one you create. What does your
simile suggest about your thinking on how students learn? Further, what does
your simile suggest about the role of a teacher in assisting students’
learning?

ELM 500 Week 2 Assignment Deconstructing Assessment Items
Details:
Review “Sample Arizona AIMS Exam
Questions.” This contains seven assessment items for fourth-graders from the
standardized Arizona AIMS exam. Complete this assignment in three parts:
1. Complete
a “Table of Specifications” using the table format
provided. Begin by analyzing each of the seven assessment items. For each item,
create a learning objective aligned to what the assessment item is measuring.
Write these learning objectives in the first column under
“Learning Objectives.” Then, for each assessment item, classify the item,
indicating its type (e.g., multiple choice, essay) under the level of
knowledge/skill the student is being asked to display in the item.
2. Review
each assessment item for cultural bias (e.g., ethnic,
gender, or socioeconomic bias). Write a short description of your review
beneath your Table of Specifications.
3. Lastly,
create new assessment items for each of the original seven assessment items
using a different Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Level than
what was originally required. Be sure your new assessment item aligns to the
learning objective you wrote, or, if you prefer, re-write the learning
objective slightly to more accurately reflect your new assessment. Include the
learning objectives, the new assessment items, and
their Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Level classification beneath the statement of
bias.
APA format is not required, but solid
academic writing is expected.
