ROBERT GAGNE’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE LEARNING APPLYING GAGNE’S THEORY TO THE CLASSROOM SETTING EDCI ONLINE WEDS 5:30-7PM

ROBERT GAGNE Gagne proposed:  Provide Instruction  Ensure each component is mastered  Sequence tasks

GAGNE’S THEORY  There are 9 Events of Instruction that are grouped by Phases: I.Preparation II.Acquisition & Performance III.Transfer of Learning

GAGNE CONTINUED  These 3 phases implement a total of 9 steps.  Each phase introduced analytical concepts that involved short term, long term, and working memory.  The end result is mastery of specific concepts.

GAGNE’S 9 STEPS PHASE 1 - PREPARATION 1)Attending 2)Expectancy 3)Retrieval PHASE 2 – ACQUISITION 4) Importance of Stimulus 5) Encoding 6) Retrieval & Response

CONTINUED.. PHASE 3 – TRANSFER OF LEARNING 7) Reinforcement 8) Recall 9) Application

HOW TO APPLY GAGNE’S THEORY IN THE CLASSROOM Ways to implement Gagne’s theory into your curriculum or activities. In the next slide we have examples of Gagne’s theory in action.

LESSON PLANS! Begin with planning your lesson! 1.Using CSCOPE,Own curriculum, teachers need to plan the class. 2.After a warm up activity, you can “capture” your students attention i.e.(like posing a question, asking to solve a problem, or presenting facts). 3. List your objectives on the board and explain the goals of the lesson to the students so that they know your expectations. 4.Connect your introduction to previous content that was taught (activate prior knowledge). By doing so, you have completed Phase 1 of Gagne’s Theory of Instruction.

THE LESSON CYCLE CONT.  After the introduction,  Utilize media and text  In the next slide, 8 th Grade U.S. History Class covering the Civil War.  As you lecture, use HOTS method  By doing so, you have completed Phase 2.

CONCLUDING THE LESSON CYCLE.. After the teaching lesson concludes. Using independent activities or group activities Have the learners complete assignments Reinforces, Recall content, Apply the skills they learned. By doing so, you have completed Phase 3.
