Tolman's purposive behaviorism theory posits that learning is always goal-directed and purposeful, not merely the formation of stimulus-response associations. According to Tolman, organisms form cognitive maps of their environment which allow them to navigate efficiently to goals. He demonstrated this concept through experiments showing that rats could learn maze patterns even without reinforcement, indicating latent or hidden learning had occurred through map formation. Tolman's theory moved beyond strict behaviorism to incorporate internal cognitive processes as mediators of learning and behavior.
It discuss about WOLFGANG KOHLER’S insight of learning. It explains on what is Insight of learning, Kohler's insight with experiment on Chimpanse. Then 3 Educational Implications on Theory of Learning by Insight, general features of it.
Its a reflective presentation on Insightful Learning Theory. The basic principles/features of gestalt school of psychology is highlighted through the explanation of the theory of insightful learning. It reveals the implication for classrooms. Perception of the whole situation, perceptual reorganization and aahaa experience are clearly mentioned by explaining the experiments with Sultan
Insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all of a sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error.
Insight learning also involves the “I have found it!” feeling or “Eureka”.
Insight learning is also express as the “Aha Moment”.
Insight learning refers to the sudden realisation of a solution of a problem

Learnind theory and its implications in psychiatryNayab Anjum
learning theory consists of classical conditioning theories, operant conditioning ,cognitive conditioning, and these theories gives background for cognitive behavior therapies. Also new concept of mirror neurons are described which gives wide views on autism spectrum disorders, empathy and emotions.
1. The second phase of behaviorism, neobehaviorism, was associated with Edward C. Tolman (1886–1959), Clark Hull (1884–1952), and B. F. Skinner (1904–1990). Like Thorndike, Watson, and Pavlov, the neobehaviorists believed that the study of learning and a focus on rigorously objective observational methods were the keys to a scientific psychology.
Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. It is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience.
Learning plays a central role in development of human behavior including voluntary and involuntary motor behaviour, thinking and emotions

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Edward Chace Tolman was an
American psychologist.
He was born on April 14 1886 and
died on November 19 1959.
Books:
1. The purposive behavior in animal
and man.
2. Drives towards war .
3. Collective pattern in psychology.
3. Purposive behaviorism has also been referred to as
sign learning theory and is often seen as the link
between behaviorism and cognitive theory.
Tolman's theory was founded on two psychological
views those of the Gestalt theory and those of John
Watson, the behavior theory.
Tolman's believe that animal were acquiring
knowledge about their surroundings he called
cognition.
Tolman's theory of learning is known by several names
such as sign significance theory, expectancy theory,
purposive behaviorism or simple sign theory
4. Learning is purposive and goal directed.
Organisms will select the shortest or easiest
path to achieve a goal.
Behavior is not mechanical. Behavior as a
complete purposeful exercise.
Behavior can be modified by experience and
training.
Reinforcement is not essential for learning.
Cognitive interpretation by the individual.
6. Tolman asserted that learning is always
purposive and goal directed .He held the
notion that an organism acted or responded for
some adoptive purpose.
He believes individual do more than merely
respond to stimuli they act on beliefs, attitudes,
changing conditions, and they strive toward
goals.
7.
8.
9. This is tendency to 'learn location'.
In this famous experiment( rats
mazes).
He found out that organisms will
select the shortest or easiest path to
achieve a goal.
This signified that somehow, rats
formed cognitive maps that help
them perform well on the maze.
10.
11. Latent literally means hidden, and latent learning
is learning that becomes obvious only once a
reinforcement is given for demonstrating it.
Latent learning is a kind of learning that remains
or stays with individual until needed. It is
learning that is not outwardly manifested at once.
According to Tolman's it can exist even without
reinforcement. He demonstrated this in his rat
experiment wherein rats apparently 'Learned the
maze' by forming cognitive maps of the maze, but
manifested this knowledge of the maze when they
needed to.
12.
13.
14. Intervening variables are variables that are not
readily seen but serve as determinants of
behavior.
Tolman's believe that learning is mediated or is
influenced by expectation, perceptions,
representations, needs and other internal or
environmental variables.
Example in his experiments with rats he found
out that hunger was and intervening variable.
15.
16. Individual does not learn specific responses to
specific stimuli as mentioned by S-R theorist
but tries to learn about the places, where things
actually lie.
We learn about the overall path by visualizing
a total picture of the environment.
As per the need of the environment we change
our movements.
17. We learn to expect or gain something as a result of
our efforts.
We expect a reward as a result of our performance.
Not getting or getting less than expected reward
may lead to disrupted of behavior involving
frustration.
The organism has a selective preference for the
"principle of least effort", for arriving at the goal.
We select the shortest possible route to achieve the
goal.
18.
19.
20. Cognitive interpretation by the individual.
In Tolman's Experiment: Rats used to stop at
the choice point and look at the alternative
paths.
22. Tolman's selected three groups of rats group 'a'
(reward groups).
Group 'b' (delayed reward group).
Group 'c' (no reward groups).
They were kept into the maze one by one for 17
days.
The food was placed at the exit door for group 'a'
rats regularly.
23. For group 'b' the food was placed at
the exit door after 10 days.
For group 'c' food was never placed at
the exit door.
For first 10 days group 'a' rats came
out from the maze in less time than 'b'
and 'c'.
But after 10 days when the food was
placed for group 'b' they came earlier
even than group 'a'.
24.
25. Group I: Rewarded
Day 1-17: Every time they got to end, given
food (reinforced).
Group II: Delayed reward.
Day 1-10: Every time they got to end, taken out.
day 11-17: Every time they got to end, given
food (reinforced).
Group III: No Reward
Day 1-17: Every time they got to end, taken out.
26. Tolman's concluded that reinforcement is not
essential for learning. Although it provides an
incentive for performance.
In his studies, he observed that a rat was able to
acquire knowledge of the way through to develop
a cognitive map, even in the absence.
Tolman's believed individual do more than
merely respond to stimuli.
27. Reinforcement was not necessary learning to
occur.
Cognitive map is an internal representation of
external environmental features or landmarks.
He felt behavior is mainly cognitive.
He coined the term 'Cognitive Map'.
