What is Classical Conditioning
|
Changing a behavior by associating a conditioned stimuls with an unconditioned response to create a conditioned response
Pavlov's dog, Jim & Dwight - examples
primary/unconditioned stimulus (food)
secondary/conditioned stimulus (bell)
|
What is Operant Conditioning
|
Behavior change - one does not modify the behavior, they modify the environment to create a "voluntary" change in behavior.
examples - car buzzer w/out seatbelt (independent variable), you begin to put on your seatbelt (dependent variable)if you do all assignments on time, then you do not have to take final exam
|
What is Behaviorism
|
(Focus on Environmental)
Based on behavioral changes. Focuses on a new behavioral pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic. Behaviorism is a worldview that operates on a principle of “stimulus-response.” All behavior can be explained without the need to consider internal mental states or consciousness.
Originators and important contributors:
Watson, Pavlov, Skinner, Thorndike (connectionism), Bandura (moving toward cognitivism)
|
What is Constructivism
|
Based on the thought process behind the behavior. Changes in behavior are observed, but only as an indicator to what is going on in the learner's head.
Summary: Constructivism as a paradigm or worldview posits that learning is an active, constructive process. The learner is an information constructor. People actively construct or create their own subjective representations of objective reality. New information is linked to to prior knowledge, thus mental representations are subjective.
Originators and important contributors: Vygotsky, Piaget, Dewey, Vico, Rorty, Bruner
Keywords: Learning as experience, activity and dialogical process; Problem Based Learning (PBL); Anchored instruction; Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD); cognitive apprenticeship (scaffolding); inquiry and discovery learning.

What is Cognitivism
|
(Focus on Process) Based on the premise that we all construct our own perspective of the world, based on individual experiences and schema. The mind is viewed as an information processor (like a computer). Input, organization, storage, retrieval, correlating to other knowledge.
Originators/contributors: Merrill -Component Display Theory (CDT), Reigeluth (Elaboration Theory), Gagne, Briggs, Wager, Bruner (moving toward cognitive constructivism), Schank (scripts), Scandura (structural learning)

Cognitivist
5 types of learning
9 events of instruction
|
What is Metacognition?
|
Thinking about how you think, or learn.
|
Gagne 5 types of learning (Taxonomy of Learned Capabilities)
|
Verbal - Intellectual - Cognitive - Attitudes - Motor Skills
|
Gagne - Verbal Skills
|
Verb - State
Declarative Knowledge - Learning to list, label, state...
Bloom's Knowledge - List, recite, name, match, tell
|
Gagne - Intellectual Skills
|
Discrimination - discriminate - tell difference between items - butterfly, not a butterfly
Concrete Concepts - identify - identifying or labeling tangible ideas, objects or events
Define concepts - classify, label - classifying or labeling intangible or abstract ideas, events, or objects by defined meanings
Rule-using/application - apply, demonstrate - applyign lower order knowledge, demonstrating relationships among concepts in various situations
Higher order rules/problem solving - generate - assessing problem situations, determining applicable concepts and rules, applying 2 or more rules in combination
|
Gagne - Cognitive Skills
|
Verb - adopt
learning to control and monitor one's own information or cognitive proccesses
Bloom's metacognative knowledge
|
Gagne - Attitudes
|
Verb - choose
learming of a personal action of choice to exhibit
Krathwohl's taxonomy of objectives for the affective domain further devides attitudes
|
Gagne - Motor Skills
|
Verb - execute, perform
learning physical movement skills that are coordinated and precise
|
Gagne's Nine Events of Intruction

|
What are Schema?
|
(Piaget - constructivism) patterns, structures, scaffolds of information inside our heads
State Schema - knowledge of
Procedural Scema - knowing how
