Learning Theories Flashcards
Name the 4 theories of learning
Observational Learning
Social Development Theory
Constructivism
Insight Learning
What does observational learning state
Acceptable and unacceptable behaviour can be learned by watching and copying others
What form of visual guidance does observational learning use and how can you make it most effective
Observational learning uses demonstrations
It is most effective when role models are used
Name and describe the 4 principles of observational learning
1.Attention-grab the attention of the learner by selling the demonstration
2.Retention-remembering the demonstration and able to recall it
3.Motor production-having the mental and physical ability to do the task
4.Motivation-having the drive to complete the task
Describe the social development theory
Interaction with others plays a vital role in learning
In sports,skills can be learned from others
for example:Coaches and …..
What 3 words are missing?
‘more knowledgeable others’
Define inter-phychological learning
Learning from others externally
Example: using more knowledgeable others for feedback
Define intra-physchological learning
learning from within after inter-psych takes place
Example: autonomous stage learner using inrinsic feedback
Define constructivism
Building up learning in stages,based on current level of performance
What is the zone of proximal development
3 levels of performance to assess what you need to improve
What are the 3 questions asked in the zone of proximal development
- What can I do?
- What can I do with help?
- What can I not yet do?
Define insight learning
Using experience and understanding to solve problems relating to whole skill/performance
