18. Questions for today How do learning theories relate to online learning activities Start to identify e learning tools with specific strategies to suit a range of learners and purposes

20. Learning Theory – Behaviorism We learn because we make a particular response to a given stimulus

21. Learning Theory – Cognitivism Behaviourism didn’t have a role for thinking . ~to learn something you must have: Attention: Retention: Reproduction: Motivation:

22. Learning Theory – Constructivism Our past experiences have a great influence on how we learn. emphasises learning, not teaching encourages learners to use initiative and be independent encourages learners to interact with other learners/teacher/mentor supports co-operative learning

23. Learning Theory

24. Learning Theory – Online Learning Most computer-based learning now is based around constructivism, but with elements of behaviourism and cognitivism thrown in!

25. Basic Tenants of Constructivism Knowledge is constructed from and shaped by experience. Learners must take an active role and assume responsibility for their learning. Learning is a collaborative process and students create their own meaning from obtaining multiple perspectives.

26. Basic Tenants of Constructivism Learning should occur in a realistic setting. Learners should choose their own path through content and activities. Content should be presented holistically, not broken into separate smaller tasks.

27. Constructivism – How Realistic? Learning should occur in a realistic setting.
