The Implicit Association Test exists to unravel and illustrate where people’s unconscious biases in different topics. It measures how strong associations are “between concepts and evaluations or stereotypes” (“Project Implicit”). With these measurements, people can be more consciously aware of their implicit biases and associations.

Whitehead (2015) states ‘The curriculum is the plans made for guiding learning in the schools, usually represented in retrievable documents of several levels of generality, and the actualization of those plans in the classroom, as experienced by the learners and as recorded by an observer; those experiences take place in a learning environment that also influences what is…

Many of today’s events come from implicit and explicit attitudes. Implicit attitude are views that we have that are automatic, most often we are not conscious of these attitudes.

She distinguished two main purposes for corrective feedback: helping learners to realize their learning capacity and motivating them to control their…

advance in reading by first learning to read and later improve reading to learn. It’s critical that all students become strategic learners in the world. Students who recognize which strategies to use and when to use them to comprehend text are strategic learners. A few students use the strategies naturally while most students struggle to read the text with understanding. There is a desperate need for teachers to teach comprehension strategies to guide their students with learning to read and…

curriculum refers to the unspoken or implicit values, behaviors, procedures and norms that exist in the educational setting. This is a fine way of defining what a hidden curriculum is all about. While such expectations are not explicitly…

because Shiley is very young, about 26 months old.

I also used explicit learning tactics, in which I told Shiley exactly what I wanted her to do.…
