Gagne's theory of conditions of learning specifies that there are different types of learning outcomes that require different internal and external conditions. He identified five categories of learning - verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, attitudes, and motor skills. Different instructional approaches and conditions are needed for each type of learning. For example, problem solving opportunities are needed to learn cognitive strategies, while exposure to role models is needed to learn attitudes. Gagne also proposed nine instructional events that are meant to satisfy the necessary conditions for learning, such as gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, and assessing performance.

of Learning”

3. Gagne’s specified several
different types or levels of learning.
He stressed that different internal
and external conditions are needed
for each type of learning, thus his
theory is called conditions of
learning. He also provided 9
instruction events that served as
basis for the sequencing of
instruction

4. GAGNE’S
PRINCIPLES

5. 1. Different instruction is
required for different learning
outcomes.
• Gagne named five categories of
learning: verbal info., intellectual
skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills
and attitues.
-Distinct internal and external
conditions are required for each type
of learing

6. • For instance, for cognitive
strategies to be learned, there
must be an opportunity for
problem solving; to learn
attitudes, the learner must be
exposed to credible role model
or arguments that are
convincing and moving.

11. 4. ATTITUDES

12. 5. MOTOR SKILLS

13. Gagne suggest that learning tasks for
intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy
according to complexity; stimulus recognition,
response generation, formation, rule application
and problem solving. The procedure following, use
of terminology, discriminations, concept primary
significance of the hierarchy is to identify
prerequisites that should be completed to facilitate
learning at each level. Prerequisites are identified
by doing a task analysis of a learning/training task.
Learning provide a basis for the sequencing of
instruction
2. Learning hierarchies define what
intellectual skills are to be learned
and a sequence of instruction

14. 3. Events of learning operate on the
learner in ways that constitute the
conditions of learning.
These events should satisfy or
provide the necessary conditions for
learning and serve as the basis for
designing instruction and selecting
appropriate media.
•The theory includes 9 instructional
events.
