1.6 edward l. thorndike connectionism theoryVan Martija
Edward Thorndike proposed the theory of connectionism, which explained learning as the formation of associations or connections between stimuli and responses through processes like trial and error. He identified three primary laws of learning: the Law of Effect states that responses connected to satisfying consequences are strengthened; the Law of Exercise states that frequently repeated connections are strengthened through practice; and the Law of Readiness states that learning is most effective when the learner is mentally and physically prepared. Thorndike's experiments with cats in puzzle boxes supported these ideas and influenced modern active learning approaches in education.
Gagne's theory on learning and instructionSabeena PS
Robert Gagne was an influential educational psychologist known for his work on conditions of learning and instructional theory. He received his PhD from Brown University in 1940 and worked as a professor at various universities. Gagne's major publications included The Conditions of Learning and Instructional Theory Foundations. He proposed a learning hierarchy consisting of different types of learning outcomes ranging from simple to complex: signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chaining, verbal association, multiple discrimination, concept learning, rule learning, and problem solving. Gagne also identified nine instructional events that should be followed to facilitate learning: gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall, presenting stimuli, providing guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and
Robert Gagné was an educational psychologist known for his theory of instruction called the "Conditions of Learning". He studied how learning objectives relate to instructional design. Gagné identified 9 types or levels of learning - signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chaining, verbal association, discrimination learning, concept learning, rule learning, problem solving, and attitudes. Each type of learning requires different instructional events and conditions to be effectively taught.
This is a presentation about Transfer of Learning. The presentation covers the ff:
- Types of Transfer
- Five Stages of Transfer
- Conditions and Principles of Transfer
Gagne's Hierarchy of Learning proposes that there are different types of learning that increase in complexity. The lowest four types tend to focus on behavioral aspects and include classical conditioning, operant conditioning, chaining, and verbal association. The higher four types focus more on cognitive aspects and include discrimination learning, concept learning, rule learning, and problem solving, with problem solving being the most complex type of learning according to Gagne's model.
The psychomotor domain involves physical movement and development of motor skills. It has 7 categories from simple to complex skill levels: perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, and origination. The psychomotor domain is essential for developing good motor and cognitive functions in children, which lays the foundation for learning. Practice is needed to progress through the categories towards proficiency and creativity with learned skills.
Robert Gagne's theory of instruction outlines five types of learning and nine instructional events that should be included when designing effective lessons. The five types of learning are verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. The nine instructional events are gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall, presenting stimuli, providing learning guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer. Gagne believed lessons should be tailored to students and actively involve them to improve motivation and focus. The theory provides guidance for teachers to identify learning outcomes, consider contextual factors, and employ a variety of instructional strategies.
Classical Conditioning in the ClassroomJamieRBourret
Classical conditioning is a learning theory developed by Ivan Pavlov where he found that dogs could learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a natural reflex. For example, Pavlov found that dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with receiving food. John Watson furthered this research by conditioning an infant, known as Little Albert, to fear a white rat through repeated pairing of the rat with a loud noise. Classical conditioning involves using triggers to train organisms to perform certain responses through repetitive associations between stimuli.

Edward Thorndike was an American psychologist who developed the theory of connectionism in the early 20th century.

Thorndike identified three "laws of learning": the law of effect, the law of exercise, and the law of readiness. Connectionism emphasizes that learning is based on practice, rewards, repetition, and satisfying an individual's potential to learn.
Transfer of learning refers to how knowledge and skills learned in one context can be applied in another context. Early research by Thorndike and Woodworth explored how learning transfers between similar tasks. Transfer of learning depends on factors like the similarity between the original learning task and new transfer task, the level of understanding achieved during initial learning, the context of learning, opportunities for practice, and motivation. Educators can promote transfer by teaching in meaningful contexts, providing varied practice opportunities over time, and encouraging positive attitudes.
This document defines key terms related to testing, measurement, assessment and evaluation. It discusses different types of tests including objective vs subjective, individual vs group, standardized vs unstandardized. It also covers the purposes of testing and measurement. Assessment is defined as gathering information about a student's knowledge, skills and abilities. The main types of assessment discussed are formal vs informal and formative vs summative assessment. Evaluation is defined as making overall judgements, and the types are process vs product evaluation. The purposes of evaluation are also outlined.
Inductive method by Anna Mapeth EvangelistaBSEPhySci14
The inductive method is an indirect teaching approach where the teacher presents multiple examples to students rather than stating rules upfront. Students observe the examples, discuss patterns and commonalities, and work to generalize rules and conclusions. The key steps are: (1) presenting examples, (2) having students observe patterns, (3) guiding students to determine general rules or principles through discussion, and (4) testing understandings with new examples. Advantages include increased student engagement and starting with their prior knowledge, while disadvantages are that it requires more time and expert facilitation skills from teachers.
The document discusses the affective domain of learning, which involves emotions, values, attitudes, and motivations. It describes the levels of the affective domain from receiving to responding to valuing to commitment. Evaluation methods of the affective domain are also presented, including rating scales, checklists, semantic differentials, and Likert scales to gauge student attitudes. Projective techniques like word association, unfinished sentences, and unfinished stories are indirect methods to probe student feelings and attitudes. Keeping logs, diaries, and writing compositions provides opportunities for students to express emotions and views.
Gagne’s Hierarchy of Learning – Eight types of learningSuresh Babu
Robert Gagne developed a hierarchy of learning that arranges eight types of learning from simple to complex. The eight types are: signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chain learning, verbal association, discrimination learning, concept learning, principle learning, and problem solving. Gagne believed that learning new capabilities requires prior mastery of subordinate skills, and his hierarchy describes the order in which these skills are typically acquired. Gagne's theory emphasizes analyzing learning objectives and designing instruction appropriate for each level of learning.
This document discusses measurement in the psychomotor domain. It defines key terms like psychomotor, domain, and describes the 7 levels in the psychomotor domain according to Francis M. Quinn. These levels progress from basic skills like perception to more advanced skills like adaptation and origination. Common tools for assessing the psychomotor domain are also outlined, including checklists, rating scales, and observation techniques. Checklists provide a simple yes/no evaluation but don't indicate quality, while observation allows immediate feedback but requires more time.
This document discusses concepts of learning and variables that affect learning. It defines learning as a relatively permanent change in behavior resulting from experience or practice. Learning involves acquiring new ways of doing things to overcome obstacles or adjust to new situations. The document outlines three main variables that impact learning: individual learner characteristics, task characteristics, and method/learning situation characteristics. It provides examples of how factors like material length, meaningfulness, difficulty level, organization, practice amount, incentives, sensory approach, and spaced vs. massed practice can influence learning outcomes.
This document discusses Robert Gagne and his contributions to instructional design and science education. It specifically focuses on Gagne's taxonomy of learning outcomes, which includes five major categories: verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. The document also discusses Gagne's learning hierarchy, which proposes that learners must master lower-level prerequisites before moving to higher-level learning. Finally, the document compares procedural task analysis to hierarchical task analysis and outlines Gagne's nine events of instruction. The overall purpose is to introduce students to Gagne's influential instructional theories and how they can be applied to science teaching.
Psychological foundations of curriculumUmair Ashraf
The document discusses several psychological perspectives that influence curriculum development, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism. It provides overview of major theorists like Pavlov, Thorndike, Piaget, and Rogers, and explains their core concepts such as stimulus-response theory, information processing, knowledge construction, and the importance of emotions and learner-centered approach. A curriculum developer should have knowledge of learning psychology to understand how students learn and design effective instruction based on cognitive and affective factors.
1) Edward Lee Thorndike was an American psychologist who pioneered research in human and animal learning through experiments using puzzle boxes with cats.
2) He developed the law of effect, which states that behaviors followed by satisfying consequences become strengthened through repeated experiences.
3) Thorndike's theory of connectionism represented the original stimulus-response framework of behavioral psychology, where learning occurs through associations forming between stimuli and responses that are strengthened or weakened based on experiences.
Robert Gagne was an American psychologist known for his theory of instruction, which outlines nine instructional events that are important for learning. These events include gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall of prior knowledge, presenting new material, providing guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer. Gagne also proposed a hierarchy of five different types of learning outcomes of increasing complexity, from simple stimulus-response learning to more complex problem solving. His work provided a framework for instructional design based on understanding internal learning processes.
This document discusses two types of response tests: oral response tests and written response tests. Oral response tests involve the examiner presenting questions verbally and the examinee responding verbally. They allow for flexibility and can be used in various situations, but are individual and time-consuming. Written response tests involve the examiner presenting questions verbally but require the examinee to respond in writing.
This document discusses different ways to categorize tests, including by mode of response (oral, written, performance), ease of quantification of responses (objective vs. subjective), mode of administration (individual vs. group), test constructor (standardized vs. unstandardized), and mode of interpreting results (norm-referenced vs. criterion-referenced). Tests can be categorized based on whether responses are oral, written, or performance-based. Objective tests with quantifiable responses can be compared to yield scores, while subjective tests allow divergent answers like essays. Tests are also categorized by whether they are administered to individuals or groups, and whether they are standardized with established procedures or unstandardized for classroom use.
Edward Thorndike was an American psychologist known for pioneering the field of comparative psychology and establishing the law of effect, exercise, and readiness. Through experiments with animals, such as putting cats in puzzle boxes, he determined that learning is the result of forming associations between stimuli and responses through a process of trial and error. Thorndike proposed three laws of learning: readiness, exercise, and effect - where behaviors are strengthened by satisfaction or weakened by annoyance through repeated practice over time. His work significantly influenced the study of educational psychology and emphasized the role of motivation and feedback in the learning process.
Jerome Bruner was a learning theorist who reacted against behaviorist models of learning. He believed in discovery learning and constructivism, where students must be active in identifying principles themselves rather than just receiving explanations from teachers. Bruner's ideas included constructivism, where learners create their own understanding, and discovery learning, where students learn through inquiry. He emphasized scaffolding learning from concrete experiences to more abstract representations using imagery and language.
The document discusses different teaching tactics and learning structures. It describes chain learning structure, where a chain of facts and activities are learned in progressive, rote, or retrogressive ways. Retrogressive chain is considered most effective as it acts as reinforcement. Concept learning requires comparing and contrasting concepts and categories. The key teaching tactics for concept learning are generalization within a class and discrimination between classes. B.F. Skinner's theory of learning is also summarized, where reinforcement strengthens stimulus-response connections.
Behaviorism is a learning theory based on observable behaviors and the relationship between environmental stimuli and responses. Key contributors include Ivan Pavlov, who studied classical conditioning in dogs, and B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning using positive reinforcement with pigeons. In behaviorism, learning is shaped by consequences rather than internal mental states. The teacher's role is to provide stimuli and positive reinforcement to motivate learning, while students work for rewards and respond to environmental factors.
Assessment plays an important role in the teaching-learning process. Some of the important types of assessment are
Practice-based assessment
Evidence-based assessment
Performance-based assessment
Examination based assessment
Gagne's has given five categories of learning and eight conditions of learning which is also called hierarchy of learning. His instructional design has nine steps or events.
Robert Gagne's hierarchical learning theory categorizes learning into five types: intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, verbal information, attitudes, and motor skills. Intellectual skills are further divided into eight subcategories that increase in complexity: signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chain learning, verbal association learning, multiple discrimination learning, concept learning, rule/principle learning, and problem solving learning. These categories build upon each other, with higher-order skills requiring mastery of lower-level skills and more previous learning.

Robert Gagne's hierarchical learning theory categorizes learning into five types: intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, verbal information, attitudes, and motor skills. Intellectual skills are further divided into eight subcategories that increase in complexity: signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chain learning, verbal association learning, multiple discrimination learning, concept learning, rule/principle learning, and problem solving learning. These categories build upon each other, with higher-order skills requiring mastery of lower-level skills and more previous learning.
This document provides an overview of several topics related to teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), including human learning, learning theories, and popular language teaching methods from the 1970s. It discusses concepts such as learning vs. training, behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, aptitude vs. intelligence, and Gagne's types of learning. Popular 1970s methods summarized are community language learning, suggestopedia, the silent way, total physical response, and the natural approach.
The document discusses the behaviorist perspectives on learning and education from 1900-1950s. It describes three major behaviorist theories - classical conditioning by Pavlov, connectionism by Thorndike which included four laws of learning, and operant conditioning by Skinner. Behaviorism views learning as changes in observable behavior due to environmental stimuli. It had a significant influence on reading instruction, breaking reading down into discrete skills taught through direct instruction and reinforcement. Research studies found both support and limitations for behaviorist theories in reading development.
Robert Gagné was an educational psychologist known for his theory of conditions of learning. In his 1965 book, he described 8 types or levels of learning arranged in a hierarchy from simple to complex. These include signal learning, stimulus-response learning, chaining, verbal association, discrimination learning, concept learning, principle learning, and problem solving. Each type of learning requires different instruction tailored to the needs of the learner.
Robert Gagne was an experimental psychologist who studied learning and instruction. He identified five domains of learning outcomes - verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. Gagne proposed that different types of learning require different internal and external conditions, and identified nine events of instruction that can facilitate learning, including gaining attention, presenting material, providing guidance and feedback, and assessing performance. According to Gagne, learning is cumulative, building on previously acquired skills and knowledge, and different outcomes have different prerequisites that must be met for new learning to occur.
The document discusses various theories and aspects of learning. It begins by defining learning as the acquisition of habits, knowledge, and attitudes through new experiences that allow adjustment to changing environments. Several key points are then made:
- Learning is a lifelong process that begins at birth and involves physical, cognitive, and emotional development.
- Factors like motivation, environment, experiences, and reinforcement influence learning.
- Different learning theories are proposed, including trial-and-error, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive theories.
- Laws of learning like exercise, effect, readiness are described. Different types and processes of learning are also outlined.
The document discusses several theories of learning including behaviorism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism, multiple intelligences theory, information processing theory, and the humanistic approach. It provides definitions and key aspects of each theory, with behaviorism focusing on observable behaviors, cognitivism on mental processes, social learning theory on observational learning, and social constructivism emphasizing socially constructed and contextualized knowledge. Theories like multiple intelligences and information processing look at different types of intelligence and how knowledge is acquired and represented. The humanistic approach stresses self-actualization and meeting individual student needs.

1. The document provides an overview of learning, including definitions of learning, the nature and characteristics of learning, types of learning (e.g. motor, verbal, concept), domains of learning, factors influencing learning, and theories of learning including Thorndike's law of effect and Pavlov's classical conditioning.
2. It discusses Thorndike's experiment with cats in a puzzle box to demonstrate trial-and-error learning. Thorndike's theory was that learning establishes connections between stimuli and responses, and that correct responses are reinforced through rewards.
3. Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment with dogs is described, where he conditioned them to salivate when they heard a bell through repeated pairing of the bell
its all about learning and u can find out all your doubts related to learning and if you have any more information so just email us sharmasandeep328@gmail.com.....
Learning involves a permanent change in behavior resulting from experience. There are many types of learning including motor, verbal, concept, and discrimination learning. Learning is influenced by factors related to the learner, teacher, and content. Several theories aim to explain the process of learning, including Thorndike's law of effect, Pavlov's classical conditioning, and Skinner's operant conditioning. Thorndike's theory proposes that behaviors followed by satisfaction become strengthened over time through rewards. Pavlov's theory demonstrates that a learned reflex can be developed by associating a stimulus with a response. Skinner's theory shows that behaviors can be shaped by reinforcing consequences.

3. ROBERT M GAGNE (1916-2002)
★ Robert Gagne was an American educational psychologist best
known for his Condition of Learning theory.
★ Gagne developed the ‘science of instruction’ in the 1990”s
during world war II.
★ His book ‘The Condition of Learning’ first published in 1965.
★ He identified the mental condition that are necessary for
affective learning.
★ In, it he discusses the analogies of learning objective and how
the different classes of object require specific teaching methods.
4. CONDITION OF LEARNING THEORY
❏ Gagne believed that the environment influence the learning process.
❏ He focuses on intentional or purposeful learning, which is occurs in
school or specific training programs.
❏ His theory identifies the general types of human capabilities that are
learned.
❏ These capabilities are the behavioral changes (learning outcomes) in a
learner.
❏ The theory looks at the observable changes in human behaviour that
confirm that learning has occurred.
5. 4 Elements provide the framework for
Gagne’s Condition of Learning Theory
1. Condition of Learning
2. Association Learning
3. The Five Categories of Learning
4. The Nine Events of Instruction
6. Conditions of Learning
Gagne describe two different types of conditions, that is
1. Internal Conditions
2. External Conditions
❖ Internal Conditions :- The capabilities that are already exist in a
learner before any new learning begins. The internal conditions are
necessary for learning. These internal conditions are transformed
during the learning process.
❖ External Conditions :- External conditions include different stimulus
that exist outside the learner such as the environment, the teacher,
and the learning situations.
7. Association Learning
There are three basic prototype of learning that demonstrate the
characteristics of association learning,
❏ Classical conditioning :- The process where the learner
associates on already available response with a new stimulus
or signal.
❏ Operant conditioning :- The process where a response in a
learner is instrumental and thereby leads to a subsequent
reinforcing event.
❏ Verbal association :- It is occurs when the learner makes verbal
responses to stimuli that are words or pairs of words. Chaining
is a process where a learner connects individual associations in
sequence.
9. Intellectual skills
➢ ‘Knowing how ‘ or having procedural knowledge.
➢ Involve the use of symbols such as numbers and language to
interact with the environment.
➢ It is require an ability to carry out actions
➢ When a learner has learned an intellectual skill, he or she will be
able to demonstrate its application to at least one particular
instance of the subject matter learned.
The five categories of Intellectual Skills.
1. Discriminations
2. Concrete Concept
3. Defined Concept
4. Rules
5. High Order Rules
10. Discriminations :-
● This is the first skill to master in intellectual skills.
● It is the ability to distinguish one feature of an object or symbol from
another such as textures, letters, numbers, shapes, and sounds. The
human performance or learning outcome achieved by discrimination.
● It is the prerequisite to further learning.
Concrete Concepts :-
● It is occurs after discriminations learning is complete.
● Concrete concepts are the simplest of the two concept types.
● It is the ability to identify a class of objects, object qualities, or
relations.
11. Defined Concepts :-
● Concepts not only require identification, but also need definition.
● It is require a learner to define both general and relational
concepts
Rules :-
● It is a learned capability of the learner, by making it possible for
the learner to do something rather than just stating something.
Higher-Order Rules :-
● The process of combining rules by learning into more complex
rules used in problem solving.
● When attempting to solve a problem, a learner may put two or
more rules together from different content in order to form a
higher-order rule that solves the problem.
12. Cognitive Strategies
➢ It is the process that learners guide their learning, remembering,
and thinking.
➢ cognitive strategies govern our processes of dealing with the
environment by influencing internal processes.
➢ A learner uses cognitive strategies in thinking about what was
learned and in solving problems.
➢ Learner manages the processes of learning, remembering, and
thinking.
➢ The performance or learning outcome achieved through cognitive
strategies is having the ability to create something new.
13. Verbal Information
➢ This is refers to the organized bodies of knowledge that we
acquire.
➢ They may be classified as names, facts, principles, and
generalizations.
➢ Verbal information is referred to as declarative knowledge, or
knowing that.
➢ The performance or learning outcome achieved through verbal
information is the ability of being able to state in a meaningful
sentence what was learned.
14. Attitudes
➢ The internal state that influences the choices of personal actions made
by an individual towards some class of things, persons, or events.
➢ Choices of action (behaviours) made by individuals are influenced
significantly by attitudes.
General classes of attitudes
1.attitudes that affect social interactions.
2.attitudes that consist of positive preferences towards certain activities.
3.attitudes that pertain to citizenship, such as a love of country or
showing concern for social needs and goals.
➢ The performance or learning outcome achieved through attitudes is
evident in an individual’s choice of actions. For example, choosing
swimming over running as a preferred exercise, or choosing not to
participate in group events reflects how attitude motivates choices.
15. Motor Skills
➢ Motor skills are the precise, smooth, and accurately timed
execution of movements involving the use of muscles.
➢ They are a distinct type of learning outcome and necessary to
the understanding of the range of possible human
performances.
➢ Learning situations that involve motor skills are learning to
write, playing a musical instrument, playing sports, and driving
a car.
➢ The timing and smoothness of executing motor skills indicates
that these performances have a high degree of internal
organization.
16. Gagne postulates that if the five categories of learning outcomes
and the ways of analyzing learning requirements are combined in a
rational and systematic manner, then it will be possible to describe a
set of ideas that make up a theory of instruction. He adds that a
theory of instruction should attempt to relate the external events of
instruction to the outcomes of learning by showing how these events
lead to appropriate support or enhancement of internal learning
processes.
17. Gagne’s Hierarchy of Learning
❏ Gagne proposed a system of classifying different types of
learning in terms of the degree of complexity of the mental
processes involved.
❏ He identified eight basic types, and arranged these in the
hierarchy. the Higher orders of learning in this hierarchy build
upon the lower levels. The lowest four orders tend to focus on
the more behavioral aspects of learning.
❏ The highest four focus on the more cognitive aspects.
❏ Here he distinguishes eight types of learning, beginning with the
simple forms and ending with the complex.

Robert M Gagne’s Hierarchy of Learning
Cognitive aspects
Behavioral aspects
19. Signal Learning
➔ This is the simplest form of learning,
➔ Learn how to respond to a signal.
➔ Based on pavlov's classical conditioning
➔ Learning the animal or individual acquires a conditioned
response to a given signal.
➔ Usually the response is emotional.
➔ Eg: withdrawal of the hand upon sight of a hot object, and the
tearing of the eyes upon sight of an onion . The conditioned
responses are withdrawal of the hand, and tearing of the eyes.
20. Stimulus - Response learning
❖ This is more sophisticated form of learning.
❖ Based on Skinner’s operant conditioning.
❖ Stimulus-response (S-R) learning may be used in
acquiring verbal skills as well as physical movements.
❖ The Learner is trained to behave in a certain manner in
anticipation of a reward or punishment that will be
provided after a given response.
21. Chaining
★This is a more advanced form of learning in which the subject develops
the ability to connect two or more previously-learned stimulus-response
bonds into a linked sequence.
★It is the process whereby most complex psychomotor skills (eg riding a
bicycle or playing the piano) are learned.
★In this type of learning the person links together previously learned S-R’s.
★This type of learning often seems to occur so naturally that we do not
notice the specific series of events which led to it.
The student has the ability to connect two or more concepts learned via
stimulus-response learning. An example would be learning how to play a
musical instrument.
★Gagne uses the example of a child who learns to say “doll” at the sight of
a doll, then learns to lie down, hug the doll, and say “doll”.
22.
23. Verbal association
❖ This is one of the key processes in the development of language
skills.
❖ This learning is a type of chaining, but the links are verbal units.
❖ The simplest verbal association is the activity of naming an object,
which involves a chain of two links: An observing response enables
the child to identify properly the object he sees; and an internal
stimulus enables the child to say the proper name.
❖ When the child can name an object “ball” and also say “ the red ball”
he has learned a verbal association of three links.
25. Discrimination learning
● This is the process in which we learn to discriminate
between similar phenomena.
● The stimuli may resemble each other but we learn to
identify the differences and respond differently to each
one.
● Eg: Learning to distinguish between a square and
rectangle.
26.
27. Concept learning
❏ The learner is able to react in a consist manner when responding
to different stimulus which belong to the same general class or
category.
❏ It forms the basis of the ability to generalise, classify etc.
❏ In concept learning the student’s behavior is not under the
control of particular physical stimuli but of the abstract properties
of each stimulus.
❏ Concepts have concrete references even though they are
learned with the use of language.
❏ The student is able to react in a consist manner when
responding to different stimulus which belong to the same
general class or category. In other words, they are able to
generalize and classify concepts.
28. Rule learning
➔ This is a very-high-level cognitive process that involves being able
to learn relationships and connections between concepts and
apply these knowledge in different situations,The student is able
to apply this knowledge to new concepts.
➔ It forms the basis of the learning of general rules, procedures, etc.
➔ We may represent knowledge as a hierarchy of rules, in which we
must learn two or more rules before learning a higher order rule
which embraces them.
29. Problem Solving
➢ This is the highest level of cognitive process according to
Gagne.
➢ The student is able to create a multifaceted procedure or rule
in order to solve a problem and then apply that procedure to
solve similar problems.
➢ individuals use rules to achieve some goal. When the goal is
reached, however, the student has learned something more
and is then capable of new performances using his new
knowledge.

The Nine Events of Instruction
33. ❖ Gain attention
➢ Present a problem, story or situation that will grab the
learner’s attention.
➢ The idea is to grab the learner’s attention so they will
want to invest in the learning process
❖ Inform learner of objective
➢ This allows learners to form ideas, opinions and
thoughts on what they will learn.
➢ This key point allows students to focus on the goal of
the lesson
34. ❖ Stimulate recall of prior information
➢ This allows students to retrieve and reconstruct their
knowledge.
➢ Two important learning processes take place during this
phase, the retrieval practice and the scaffolding process
❖ Present information
➢ Present the information in organized sequences and
chunks to avoid brain overload.
➢ This phase allows students to receive feedback and
individualize tasks to overcome the challenges of learning.
35. ❖ Provide guidance
➢ Educators are presented with opportunities to coach
students.
➢ This phase may take place during one-on-one
sessions or in group settings.
❖ Elicit performance
➢ Learners are allowed to practice and develop skills
and/or knowledge.
➢ Modeling, teacher-to-student or student-to-student
may take place during this phase.
36. ❖ Provide feedback
➢ Feedback may come in many forms such as formal or
informal assessments.
➢ The key to this phase is to be as specific as possible.
➢ General feedback is discouraged when coaching or
guiding learners.
❖ Assess performance
➢ Evaluation of learner’s progress takes place during the
assessment performance phase.
37. ❖ Enhance retention and transfer
➢ Learners are encouraged to review the lesson in
its entirety.
➢ Teachers construct and deconstruct problems,
provide additional resources, reteach/restate
objective, goals and skills.

40. Educational Implications of Condition
of Learning Theory
★ The teaching learning activities should be so arranged that it should go in accordance
with the mental abilities of the learner at each level of the learning hierarchy.
★ The formal education should be planned hierarchically on the basis of the increasing
complexity of the different types of learning so that what is acquired at one grade acts
as a foundation for learning in the subsequent grades.
★ Teachers should ensure that the learner has acquired the necessary initial state of
learning before he is introduced to subsequent levels of learning.
★ Due weightage should be given to the learning hierarchy while framing the curriculum.
★ The role of teacher is to plan and control the external events which influence the
internal mental processes.
★ A teacher should be a designer and manager of instruction and an evaluator of student
learning.
