Learning Theories Week Five – Part 1

Agenda Check-in Discussion of Assignment 2 experience Context and setting of learning Categories of learning theories Intelligences Learning Styles Models of Teaching

Info Lit Interviews Turn and talk about One thing that was confirmed One thing that was a surprise An idea you had from the interview How does this knowledge affect how you will teach information literacy?

The Context of Learning People and their Lives Social and Historical Influences Current Conditions Emerging Challenges and Opportunities John Bransford

Where Does Learning Happen? Where does our instruction fit? The LIFE Center

Four Basic Philosophies The Behaviorists Based on observable changes in behavior The Cognitivists Based on the thought process behind the behavior The Constructivists Based on the belief that we all construct our perspective of the world and learning experiences. That is, we problem solve. The Socioculturists Based in the idea that learning is situated in the learning community and the sociocultural experience of the individual

Behaviorists Pavlov – Classic and Operant Conditioning Thorndike – Active Learning & Trial and Error Skinner – Practice stimulus response Expose the student to the subject in gradual steps Require that the learner make a response and receive immediate feedback Arrange the difficulty of the questions so the response is always correct and hence a positive reinforcement Information should be presented in small amounts so that responses can be reinforced ("shaping") Belief that behavior can be modified

Behaviorist instruction The task would be clearly defined. Objectives would be set The learning events would be listed in sequence of increased difficulty You would constantly reinforce desired learning outcomes Evaluation would include a checklist of skills Instruction could be programmed to be the same for all situations.

Cognitivists Piaget’s 4 Stages Child development and learning Sensorimotor (0-2) Physical interaction Objects out of sight don’t exist Preoperational (2-7) Needs concrete interaction Not abstract thinkers Concrete Operational (7-11) Logical sequence to explain their experiences Mathematic equations can be solved without objects Formal Operations (11 and up) Reasoning Abstract insights Child development and learning Emphasis on the importance of play Background biology and philosophy Cognitive development enhanced by experiences

Cognitivist Instruction Conduct a cognitive task analysis. Find out what they know You would teach complex problems but you would have clear objectives A series of learning events would be designed. Each stage the learners would be challenged to identify what they know and what they will need to know to solve the problem. Evaluation is driven by how well the learner feels they have achieved Instruction and material must be relevant to this group.

Constructivists Vygotsky – Scaffolding and Zone of Proximal Development Bruner – Learning is an active experience Learner transforms information, constructs hypotheses, makes decisions, Cognitive structure (i.e., schema, mental models) provides meaning and organization to experiences Reflect on experiences Problem-solving; open ended questions Concepts must be presented When the student is ready to learn In a way that is accessible to the student or easy for the student to learn new material (fun) To fill in the gaps When it is relevant to them

Constructivists Instruction Analyze the tools for learning and the environment Objectives are determined in collaboration with the learner. As with cognitivists, a series of learning events would be designed. At each stage the learners would be challenged to identify what they know and what they will need to know to solve the problem. Evaluation is based on self assessment All learning must be related to the learners own experiences

Socioculturists Vygotsky Leont’ev and Luria Latour Lave and Wenger Social Development of the Mind Leont’ev and Luria Activity Theory or Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) Latour Actor-Network Theory Lave and Wenger Situated Learning Legitimate peripheral practice Master and apprentice Moll and Moje Funds of Knowledge Third Space Lee Cultural Modeling New Literacies Lea and Street – Academic Literacies

Socioculturists Instruction Know your students Find ways to draw out their experiences Let them give examples from their lives Provide opportunities for apprenticeship Acknowledge the power structure and real life tensions Beware of privileging one kind of knowledge over another

Learning Styles Assumption: everyone can learn Style partly based on heredity and upbringing We perceive and process experiences and information in different ways All styles need to be experienced, but Individuals will work better in their own area Personality or learning style? (example Myers-Briggs) Many tests online. Look for “learning style inventory” and see what you find!

3 Most Common Categories Visual Learners Auditory Learners Kinesthetic (Tactile) Learners Some add in “Reading/Writing Preference” Learners (See VARK model)

Kolb Model Converger Diverger Assimilator Accommodator Characterized by abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. They are good at making practical applications of ideas and using deductive reasoning to solve problems Diverger Tend toward concrete experience and reflective observation. They are imaginative and are good at coming up with ideas and seeing things from different perspectives Assimilator Characterized by abstract conceptualization and reflective observation. They are capable of creating theoretical models by means of inductive reasoning Accommodator Use concrete experience and active experimentation. They are good at actively engaging with the world and actually doing things instead of merely reading about and studying them

McCarthy’s 4 Styles Type one: WHY? Type two: WHAT? Type three: HOW? Needs to be relevant and personal to them. Teacher needs to create a reason. What do I know already? How does this fit in with what I know already? Enjoys brainstorming , listing, recording, charting, relating a past experience Type two: WHAT? Primarily interested in facts as they led to conceptual understanding. Give them facts. Look for gaps in their knowledge. “What more do I need to know?” Enjoys defining, explaining, classifying, comparing, reporting, advertising Type three: HOW? Interested in how things work. Teachers need to let them try it. Look for ways of applying what they already know Enjoy demonstrating, interpreting, constructing, making models, mapping, collage, giving a talk Type 4: WHAT IF? Primarily interested in self discovery. Let them teach it to themselves and others Looks beyond what they have learnt or need to know Enjoys predicting, improving, developing, inventing, judging, recommending, developing an action plan

Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences – “Human cognition in its fullest.” Linguistic intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals. This intelligence includes the ability to effectively use language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically; and language as a means to remember information. Logical-mathematical intelligence consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically. It entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. Musical intelligence involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. It encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems. It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Spatial intelligence involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas. Interpersonal intelligence is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people. It allows people to work effectively with others. Intrapersonal intelligence entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations. It involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.

Wrap-up Way you design your program depends on the way you see your learners No single best philosophy – brain research may confirm or change what we know! Good teacher varies techniques and strategies For example: Active reflectors: learn by thinking Vary assignment Concrete / abstract: direct experience Vary instruction

Class Discussion What learning theories make the most sense to you based on your experiences as a learner and in giving instruction? How has metacognition played a role in your own learning? Is there a reading that really resonated with you? Why? Please ask questions if anything in the reading or lectures are unclear to you.
