Fundamentals of Instruction Flashcards
Characteristics of Learning
(PEMA) Purposeful Experience Multifaceted Active Process
Characteristics of Learning
Purposeful
Students viewpoints and goals are paramount.
Characteristics of Learning
Experience
Students can only learn from individual experiences.
Characteristics of Learning
Multifaceted
Verbal, conceptual, perceptual, motor, problem-solving, and emotional. There are many things one can learn from learning. An instructor could teach something and the student develops an idea or an opinion on something which would not be the instructors objective. Learning is incidental.
Characteristics of Learning
Active Process
Learning is an active process. It does not happen overnight. IF learning is a change in behavior we must remember that it takes time and experience.
Principles (Laws) of Learning
(REEPIR) Readiness Exercise Effect Primacy Intensity Recency
Principles of Learning
Readiness
Students learn best when they are ready to learn; a degree of single-mindedness and eagerness.
Principles of Learning
Exercise
Items most often repeated are best remembered. PRACTICE.
Principles of Learning
Effect
Pleasant feelings strengthen and unpleasant feelings weaken the learning process
Principles of Learning
Primacy
Things taught first create an unshakeable impression
-teachings must be right the first time
Principles of Learning
Intensity
- exciting experiences teaches more than routine experience
- real thing better than substitute
Principles of Learning
Recency
- Things most recently learned are best remembered
- Repeating, restating, and reemphasizing
Factors Affecting Perceptions
(PMGETS) PHYSICAL ORGANISM MAN'S BASIC NEEDS GOALS & VALUES ELEMENT OF THREAT TIME & OPFORTUNITY SELF CONCEPT
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Physical Organism
-Physical ability to see, hear, feel and respond
The vehicle by which we perceive the world around us. A pilot must have all his faculties.
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Man’s Basic Need
Maintain and enhance the organized self
To preserve and perpetuate oneself is the most fundamental of
these needs. Defense mechanisms block out those things that would be damaging to
the physical and psychological being.
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Goals and Values
Every experience is colored by personal beliefs and values
Perceptions are colored by an individuals beliefs and value structure.
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Element of Threat
Adversely affects perception by narrowing the perceptual field
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Time and Opportunity
It takes time and opportunity to perceive
Some learning depends on earlier perceptions and time to relate to the new. Instruction must be arranged to so that the student can have time to sense and relate these new things to earlier perceptions.
Factors Affecting Perceptions
Self Concept
Favorable self-image vs. Negative self -image
A student will remain open to new perceptions if previous
experiences support a favorable self image.
Domains of Learning
(RUAC) ROTE UNDERSTANDING APPLICATION CORRELATION
Levels of Learning
Rote
The lowest level is the ability to repeat what has been learned, but without
understanding.
Levels of Learning
Understanding
The mind has grasped the meaning or concept. This is basic to effective learning, but may not enable a person to apply what he has learned without exercise.
Levels of Learning
Application
Once understanding and practicing a maneuver, the student has the skill to apply. The instructor must not be satisfied to stop at this level.
Levels of Learning
Correlation
A student becomes able to associate an element which has been learned with other segments or blocks of learning.
Theories of Forgetting
(RID)
Repression
Interference
Disuse
Theories of Forgetting
Repression
Submersion of ideas (negative) into the subconscious mind
Material that is unpleasant or produces anxiety may be unintentionally submerged into the unconscious mind.
Theories of Forgetting
Interference
Learned material is overshadowed by something previously learned.
a. Closely similar material interferes with ability to remember.
b. Material not well learned suffers most from interference.
Theories of Forgetting
Disuse
If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.
Aids to Remembering
or
Retention of Learning
(PRAAS) PRAISE REPETITION ASSOCIATION ATTITUDE SENSES
Aids to Remembering
Praise
Praise stimulates remembering.
Aids to Remembering
Repetition
Meaningful repetition aids recall. (3-5 times is usually enough)
Aids to Remembering
Association
Recall is promoted by association.
Aids to Remembering
Attitude
Favorable attitudes aid retention.
Aids to Remembering
Senses
Learning with all senses is most effective.
Definition of Learning
A change in behavior as a result of experience
Learning Theory
- Behaviorism
- Cognitive Theory
Behaviorism
- emphasizes reinforcement of a particular behavior
- Positive reinforcements and awards accelerate training
Cognitive Theory
Focuses on thinking, understanding and feeling
How People Learn:
(PIM)
P- Perceptions
I- Insights
M- Motivation
Motivation
- A dominant force that governs students progress and ability to learn
- Motivation can be negative/positive, tangible/intangible, subtle and difficult to identify, or obvious
- For motivation to be effective, students must believe that their efforts will be suitably rewarded
Insights
- Grouping perceptions into meaningful wholes
- Student understands and is also able to apply learned things
Learning Process
D-Desire to learn
A-Application of skill
D-Duration of lesson
K-Knowledge of progress
E-Evaluation vs. Critique
P-Preform the Skill
P-Progress Follows a Pattern
P-Pattern to Follow
P-Physical Skills
Desire to Learn
recognize mistakes and make an effort to correct them
Application of Skill
can the student use what has been learned?
Duration of Lesson
Change lesson length and structure as student advances
Knowledge of results
Make students aware of their progress
Evaluation vs. Critique
early evaluation
Perform the skill
Practice
Progress Follows a Pattern
Learning plateau
Patterns to flow
provide a clear step-by-step example
Memory
- ) Sensory
- ) Short term
- ) Long-term
Sensory
scan for importance
Short term
- coding
- rehearsal
- recoding
Long term
process
store
recall
Transfer of Learning
- A student may be aided by other things learned previously
- previous learning may interfere with current learning task
- some degree of transfer is involved in all learning
Positive transfer: Practicing a stall in order to learn landing flare
Negative transfer: taxiing the airplane is different from driving a car
Habit Formation
- essential to further learning
- building block concept: cumulative; new learning based on old
