Learning Theory & Learning Design Flashcards
Notions of learning which are generally defined as new behaviours or changes in behaviours that are acquired as the result of an individual’s response to stimuli.
Behavioural learning theory
Behavioural learning theory is especially attractive for use in _______.
Training (learning outcomes are clearly measured and demonstrated behaviorally)
Arose partially in response to a growing need to account for motivation, attitudes, and mental barriers that may only be partially associated or demonstrated through observable behaviours.
Cognitive pedagogy
The locus of control in a CB model
teacher or instructional designer (one-to-many and one-to-one communication)
(hint: ISD, LO)
Cognitive Presence in Cognitive-Behaviourist Models
Use of an instructional systems design model where the learning objectives are clearly identified and stated (structured processes)
Means and context through which learners construct and confirm new knowledge
Cognitive presence
Social Presence in Cognitive-Behaviourist Models
almost total absence (individual process)
Teaching Presence in Cognitive-Behaviourist Models
reduced or at least radically reconstructed
Acknowledges the social nature of knowledge and of its creation in the minds of individual learners.
Social-Constructivist Pedagogy
(hint: Pl, C, Al, L, M, Lcle, Mp, Sdvarw)
8 Common themes in Social Constructivism Models
- New knowledge built up the foundation of *Previous learning
- *Context in shaping knowledge development
- ***Active **learning
- *Language and other social tools
- *Metacognition and evaluation to develop learner’s capacity
- ***Learner-centered **learning environment
- *Multiple perspectives
- *Social discussion, validation, application in real-world context
Locus of control in a social-constructivist system
shifts somewhat away from the teacher (many-to-many)
Social-constructivist theories are theories of
learning
Cognitive Presence in Social-Constructivist Pedagogy (hint: CAR)
located in an authentic Context
assumes learners are Actively engaged
Exploits Role-modeling, imitation, dialogic inquiry
Social Presence in Social-Constructivist Pedagogy
Social interaction is the defining feature
(hint: GGE)
Teaching Presence in Social-Constructivist Pedagogy
- the educator is a *Guide, helper, and partner
- focuses on *Guiding and evaluating authentic tasks performed in realistic contexts
- source of knowledge lies primarily in Experiences
learning is the process of building networks of information, contacts, and resources that are applied to real problems
Connectivist Pedagogy
Cognitive Presence in Connectivist Pedagogy (hint: E,Se)
involves Exposing students to networks and providing opportunities for them to gain a sense of Self-efficacy
enriched by peripheral and emergent interactions on networks
Social Presence in Connectivist Pedagogy (hint: S,S)
- the creation and *Sustenance of networks of current and past learners
- *Stigmergic (e.g. mechanism of indirect coordination)
Teaching Presence in Connectivist Pedagogy
created by the building of learning paths and by design and support of interactions
(hint: NI,C,T,L,A)
task of good pedagogical design
ensuring that there are absolutely *No Inconsistencies between the Curriculum** we teach, the **Teaching methods we use, the Learning environment we choose, and the Assessment procedures we adopt.
a set of quite compatible explanations for a large range of different phenomena.
theory
learning as the gradual building of patterns of associations and skill component
associationist perspective
Emphasized the assumptions of constructivism that understanding is gained through an active process of creating hypotheses and building new forms of understanding through activity
The cognitive perspective
