  1. Project 2: Learning Theories Barbara Lopez EDTC 3320: Instr. Design

  2. Learning theories • Behavioral learning theory • Cognitive learning theory

  3. Behavioral learning theory • Behavioral Perspective – People are born with a “clean slate” type of brain. Therefore, we learn from our surroundings or situations that we experience in our lives. http://faculty.stcc.edu/psyc400/psyc400/chapters/chapters4to6/lectures/lecture4a.htm#The%20Background%20of%20Behaviorism

  4. Behavioral theorist • Edward L. Thorndike(1874 – 1949) • Founder of the Law of Effect theory – When there is a negative type of situation, then that person is more than likely not to repeat that situation. If it’s a positive situation, then people are more than likely to repeat it. http://www.lifecircles-inc.com/Learningtheories/behaviorism/Thorndike.html

  5. Learning experiences from the Law of Effect • Multiple Response: Problem solving is through trial and error. • Attitude: how to react in a certain way. • Prepotency of Elements: Filter out what’s not important and pay attention to what is important. • Law of Exercise: With practice we learn more rather than not practicing. • Intelligence is a function of the number of connections made. http://www.lifecircles-inc.com/Learningtheories/behaviorism/Thorndike.html

  6. In an adult education program, these learning experiences from an behavioral perspective will have a great impact. It’s possible for the adults to relate this class it to a bad class or teacher they had previously in their lives. The teacher will have to make it a positive learning experience for the student to succeed.

  7. Cognitive learning theory • Cognitivism perspective – People are not “programmed animals”, instead we process the information and then go into an certain outcome. Our brains work like computers, we receive information, process and then lead into a certain outcome. http://www.learning-theories.com/cognitivism.html

  8. Cognitive theorist • Jean Lave • Founder of Situated Cognition theory – Brings together the elements of cognition, perception, and action within a social group. Therefore, people learn and feel like they belong to this group with a common interest. http://www.lifecircles-inc.com/Learningtheories/constructivism/Lave.html

  9. Learning experiences from the situated cognition • Learning is in the actions of everyday situations. • Knowledge is acquired situationally and transfers only to similar situations. • Social processes influence the way people think, perceive, solve problems, perform procedures, build declarative knowledge, and interact with others. • Learning is thoroughly enmeshed in participation in complex social environments that contain people, situations, and activities. http://www.lifecircles-inc.com/Learningtheories/constructivism/Lave.html

  10. In an adult education program, these learning experiences from a cognitive perspective will also have a big impact. Students need to feel comfortable in their learning environment. When students are meeting with a group of other students that have a common interest, such as a math club or chess club, they will have positive results.
