Constructivism
Jean Piaget
Learning occurs when learners take new information and apply it to preexisting experiences and knowledge
Jerome Bruner
Learning is an active process and learners construct new ideas and concepts based on their past knowledge and experience
Jean Lave
Situated Learning Learning is a function of the activity, context, and culture in which it occurs Social interaction is a critical component of learning
Principles
Knowledge needs to be presented in an authentic context Learning requires social interaction and collaboration
Cognitivism
Cognitive Learning Theory
Based on human cognitive theory Although not completely understood, research has demonstrated numerous elements and how they apply to learning
J. Sweller
Cognitive Load Theory
Only a number of elements can be stored in short-term memory and only for a short time Long-term memory contents are complex structures (schemas)
Principles
Avoid working memory intensive means-to-an-end approaches Integrate sources of information Avoid unnecessary repetitive information Use auditory and visual where both are essential
Cognitivism
Robert Gagne
Conditions of Learning Learning can be categorized into five domains
Verbal information Intellectual skills Cognitive strategies Motor skills Attitudes
Each domain requires a different type of instruction Intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy Principles Different instruction is required for different learning domains Learning events influence the conditions of learning Learning events are different for each learning domain Learning hierarchies detail what skills are to be learned and in what sequence
Behaviorism
John Watson
Early 1900s
B. F. Skinner
Mid 1900s
Behaviorism
Based on the work of Watson and Skinner A learners behavior can be shaped Positive reinforcement (the application of a stimulus desired by the learner) Learning is passive and the learner is a clean slate Learning is an observable change in a learners behavior
Behaviorism
Fred Keller
Personalized System of Instruction (PSI)
Self-paced modules Promotes mastery of predetermined objectives Sequentially, progressive tasks
Principles
Students proceed at their own pace based on ability and time constraints Students move sequentially through a course, moving to the next unit once mastery is obtain for the current unit Lectures and demonstrations are the vehicle for motivation and not the source of critical information Student-teacher is mainly by written communication Proctors are used which permits repeated testing, immediate scoring, tutoring, and enhanced social skills
Learning Domains
Blooms Taxonomy
In the early 1900s Benjamin Bloom headed a group of Educational Psychologist who developed a classification of learning behaviors
Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation Affective Psychomotor
Learning Domains
Blooms Taxonomy (continued)
In the early 1990s Lorin Anderson headed a group of Cognitive Psychologist who updated Blooms Taxonomy for 21st century education One of the major changes was from using nouns for each domain and replacing them with verbs Most of this work was related to intellectual learning domains
Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Creating Evaulating
Learning Domains
Gagnes Learning Domains
There are five learning domains Each domain requires a different type of learning
Verbal Information Intellectual Skills Cognitive Strategies Motor Skills Attitudes
Design Theories
Design Theories
Conditions of Learning
Gagne proposed learning tasks could be organized in a hierarchy based on complexity He described nine elements of learning in the hierarchy
Gaining attention learning objectives Stimulating recall Presenting content/materials Providing learning guidance Eliciting performance Providing feedback Assessing performance Generalization
This lesson plan will be adapted to meet DLCs standards using a modified format based on Gagnes Nine Element of Learning
A template has been provided for this practical exercise
Standards
All courses and lesson are based on National and State standards
Learning Domain
Gagnes classifications
Objectives
Objectives must be measurable
Derive the standard equation for Newtons Second Law of Motion Algebraically manipulate the equation to solve for its various elements
Performance Practice
Performance practice is incorporated in Guidance and the following section As part of guidance, students are asked leading questions to help them work through the steps for deriving the equation
Review/Enhancing Retention
