Factors that influence learning
- behavioral

- manipulates the environment
- reinforces, rewards, punishes - External influences drive motivation
- avoid negative consequences
- seek reward
Cognitive learning - learners goal and the way they process information, not passive
- focus
- information processing
- incorporating new information into existing frameworks - teachers
- present facts
- assist with assimilation - Learners
- actively constructing knowledge
Experiential/problem solving learning
- Extension of cognitive theory
- focus
- context of experience: academic settings, clinical practice
- active constructive process: problem solving - Teachers: Present structured opportunities, act as guides
Social-cultural learning - understand how knowledge fits into a deeper context
- focus - knowledge is co-constructed, cognitive process and social experiences
- community based
- peer interactions
- teacher structures group interactions and guides discussion
- student

Kolb’s chart
Concrete experience (feeling) - gathering Reflective observation (watching) - processing Abstract conceptualization (thinking) - information Active Experimentation (doing) - information

you want to appeal to the patient’s personal style to teach them that way
Learning domains
- cognitive - knowledge
- psychomotor
- afferent - relational
