Description:

The paper identifies the objectives of the lesson on fluid balance in the body and then provides a table that shows the alignment of the learning objectives with national standards. The paper describes the series of activities for the set of objectives and describes four activities that will be executed after each lesson. The author then details two learning-theory-based curricular strategies, namely, Piaget's cognition theory and Vygotsky's zone of proximal development theory, and presents both an assignment that measures critical thinking for students as well as a rubric for scoring the critical thinking assignment.

From the Paper:

"The intellectual growth of an individual is believed to be highly assisted by the communication, cooperation and association between peers as suggested in the Piaget cognition theory. The other elements that helped in the intellectual growth of an individual apart from cooperation include creating a balance, the ability to adapt and integrate. Piaget explained that all problems or hurdles were solved based upon an individual's stored knowledge as well as all that he/she learned from his contemporaries in different situations and settings. This simply means that a problem creates an imbalance and an individual creates the balance by adapting and integrating his prior knowledge. It is important to not here that creating balance is the key for any intellectual growth (as referenced in Biehler, 2010).
"Using this theory in a multi-cultural class where student requirements are also diverse, the most important part will be giving timely assistance. This will ensure that the students understand the intricate parts of the course that they are having difficulty with. I feel that by providing timely assistance, all the personal abilities like concentration span, recollection of known facts, etc will all be utilized efficiently and straightforwardly. Furthermore, timely assistance will also mean that the students will not get distracted from their main goal."
