The document discusses several theories of learning, including behaviorism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism, multiple intelligences theory, and brain-based learning. For each theory, the document outlines the key people and ideas associated with it, how it could be applied in classroom instruction, and potential critiques. The document suggests considering learning styles and preferences to make instruction more effective for different types of learners.

Editor's Notes

- Learning as a Black Box. We really do not know what happens in the black box. Since we do not know about it let us not work on it. 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Biological basis for learning – you have it or you don’t…it’s a thing you inherit 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Grew in response to Behaviorism in an effort to better understand the mental processes behind learning 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Assimilation: The integration of new information into an existing symbol system Accommodation: The adjustment of internal symbol systems to make space for new information that challenges the structure 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Staged scaffolding: not based on ability or experience…based on developmental stage (age most predominantly) 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Does not account enough for individuality and differences in staged development Little emphasis on affective characteristics, especially motivation 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Imitation: Individuals adopt the modeled behavior more readily and completely if the person they are observing is admired by the observer We more readily model behavior if it results in outcomes we value or approve of 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Think of a laboratory environment, for instance. What’s more effective in your estimation…watching the faculty member conduct the lab, or you doing it yourself? 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Knowledge is actively constructed by individuals in light of and in relation to our past experiences, the context of learning, personal motivation, and our beliefs/attitudes/prior knowledge Think of the lab…instead of just watching it being done, the student acts as the active agent conducting the lab, with expert support leading them to the edge of their knowledge and beyond. Dialogic: central focus is on written & spoken dialogue Recursive: new learning is built upon prior learning…scaffolding;Zone of Proximal Development. The actual distance between the actual developmental leval as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential develolpment as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or collaboration with capable peers. 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Suggests that knowledge is neither given nor absolute, but is rather an individual construct Does not fit well with traditional age grouping and rigid terms/semesters that do not provide a flexible timeframe for learning 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Metacognition – simply put is learning about learning, but more realistically, it’s about kn owing who you are as a learner, and developing the capacity to leverage your strengths to your advantage while purposefully addressing your weaknesses 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
- Individual principles have been scientifically questioned (left/right brain laterality) 12/02/10 Learning~FDP at VEC Dr.K.Prabhakar
