False. Pedagogy relates to children’s learning. Andragogy relates to adult learning.
Name two methods of how you can include active-learning.2.1.3
Establish the initial climate by clarifying the purpose of the session; Plan the widest possible range of resources to address needs as they arise; Limit lectures and incorporate activities that involve learners; Be prepared to show learners what’s in it for them; Build in time for open discussion; Create a welcoming, friendly environment to decrease the threat; Prepare discussion questions that help the facilitator Be a guide, not an expert.
What is the lowest level of the hierarchy of needs that must be met?2.1.3

Social
True or False. An employee can achieve the highest level of the hierarchy of needs even if physiological needs are not being met.2.1.3
False. Employees will default to their lowest level needs if their higher level needs are no longer being satisfied.
According to the behaviorist approach to learning, when does learning occur?2.1.1
According to the behaviorist approach to learning, learning occurs when associations between stimuli and responses are strengthened or weakened.
Which learning theory is based on the consequences of reinforcement or punishment?2.1.1
Behaviorism
Which learning theory supports rehearsal for memorization?2.1.1
Cognitivism
Which learning theory supports providing logically presented and in-depth information?2.1.1
Cognitivism
Which learning theory supports learning through carefully designed experiences?2.1.1
Constructivism.
According to Gagne, what is the first step to ensuring learning occurs?2.1.3
Gain the learner’s attention. It creates a foundation for the lesson, sets the direction, and motivates the learner
Internally motivated learners are a characteristic of andragoty or pedagogy?2.1.3

- Performance (Behavior) 2. Condition (tools or assistance) 3. Criteria (definition of success)
How can you incorporate social cognitive theory methods into training?2.1.3
Include experiences where the facilitator models behavior for the learners to observe and imitate.
