Task B: The Learning Process Flashcards
Learning Theory
Explains how people acquire knowledge and attitudes.
Learning can be defined as a change as a result of experience. This is done through Senses. Sight, Sound Touch, Etc.…
How people learn: (BICC)
Behaviorism
Information Processing Theory
CognitiveTheory
Constructivism
How people learn: Behaviorism
Behavior entirely in terms of observable and measurable responses to stimuli. Human behavior can be predicted based on rewards and punishments.
Positive reinforcement better than no or negative reinforcement.
How people learn: Information Processing Theory
Uses computer system as a model for human learning. The brain processes incoming information students retrieves it, and generates a response. Human gets input from sense of sight, smell, touch, hearing.
Example: Brain dealing with habit or routine is a pilot using rudder in turns without even noticing it.
How people learn: CognitiveTheory
Focuses on what’s going on in the mind learning is also a change in the way a learner thinks, understands, or feels.
How people learn: Constructivism
Theory that learners don’t acquire knowledge or skills passively but actively build or construct them based on experiences. Learning of higher order thinking skills (ADM) pg. 2-5
Perceptions and Insight
All learning comes from perceptions, which are directed from the brain by one or more of the senses. Perceptions result when a person gives meaning to external stimuli or sensations.
What affects perceptions:(GSTEP)
Physical Organism Goals and Values Element of Threat Time and Opportunity Self-Concept
What affects perceptions:Physical Organism
Being able to sense the world around you. It’s important to see, hear, feel, and respond adequately while in the air.
What affects perceptions:Goals and Values
Humans color their own values and beliefs from experiences.
What affects perceptions:Element of Threat
Threats do not promote effective learning. When confronted with a threat students tend to focus attention on threatening object or thing generating fear.
What affects perceptions:Time and Opportunity
Learning depends on perceptions which were learned previously and on availability of time to relate new things to pervious perceptions.
What affects perceptions:Self-Concept
It is important to have good self confidence. Positive or negative self concept helps determine favorable or unfavorable behaviors from students.
Positive will be more willing to learn new things, less defensive.
Negative tends to reject lessons and experiences.
Insight
Grouping perceptions into meaningful wholes. (Relating a group of perceptions)
* Example: Rectangular course and traffic pattern. Take multiple things and combine them together.
Instructor can help student develop insight by (3)
Helping students understand how different pieces come together
Providing a non-threatening environment
Help student maintain favorable self concepts
Acquiring Knowledge: (MUC)
Memorization
Understanding
Concept Learning
Acquiring Knowledge: Memorization
Student first memorizes about facts in a procedure, It allows student to get started quickly, but the limitations become apparent when asked to solve problem or provide explanation.
Acquiring Knowledge: Understanding
The ability t to see and understand connections between facts that have been learned.
Acquiring Knowledge: Concept Learning
Based on assumption that humans tend to group objects, ides, and people that share one or more attributes. By grouping information into concepts, humans remove complexity and create categories.
Laws of Learning: (REEPIR)
Readiness Exercise Effect Primacy Intensity Recency
Laws of Learning: Readiness
People learn best when they are ready to learn. The don’t learn well if they lack motivation. If student has a clear goal they will be more productive.
Laws of Learning: Exercise
The more you practice the better you’ll remember. Use it or lose it.
Laws of Learning: Effect
Learning is strengthened when accompanied by pleasant feelings and opposite with unpleasant feelings.
Laws of Learning: Primacy
We remember how we learn things the 1sttime, initial learning must be taught right.
Laws of Learning: Intensity
Make the learningexciting and “real” or dramatic.
Laws of Learning: Recency
What you last did is better remembered.
Domains Of Learning: (CAP)
Cognitive
Affective Domain
Psychomotor Domain
Domains Of Learning: Cognitive
A grouping of levels learned associated with mental activity.
* Thinking
Domains Of Learning: Affective
Addresses a learner’semotions toward the learning experience. Being open and willing to learn.
* Feeling
Domains Of Learning: Psychomotor
Skill based and includes physical movement, imitation, practice, and habits. Example Flying a precision approach.
* Doing
Cognitive Domain: Six Levels
Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation
Cognitive Domain: Knowledge

Cognitive Domain: Comprehension
Understanding information
Cognitive Domain: Application
Using abstractions in situations
Cognitive Domain: Analysis
Breaking down into parts
Cognitive Domain: Synthesis
Putting parts together to make a new whole
Cognitive Domain: Evaluation
