def andragogy
Developed by Malcolm Knowles, this theory focuses on adult learning, emphasizing the importance of self-directed and experiencial learning, which are key aspects of the learniing pathways.
def motivational theories
Theories like self-determination theory (by Deci and Ryan) and expectancy-value theory (by ecles and wigfield) explain how motivation impacts learning, relevant to how learning pathways can be designed to enhance learner motivation.
def cognitive load theory
Developed by John Sweller, this theory focuses on how instructional design can be optimized to manage the amount of information learners are processing, a consideration crucial in designing effective learning pathways
def constructivist learning theory
This theory, advocated by scholars like jean pieget and lev Vygotsky, suggests that learners construct knowledge through experiences and reflection, a a process facilitated by structured learning pathways. (your coat hanger idea!)
def experiential learning theory
proposed by David kolb, this theory emphasizes the importance of experience in learning processing, aligning with the practical application and skill development aspects of learning pathways. In other words, learning by doing.
What is expectancy value theory?
If they expect that they can, they’ll do better. If they value the task, they’ll do better
What is social cognitive theory?
Our learning is an interplay between a person, environment and behavior. We validate our understanding with others and observe others. Social feedback is also part of this.
