4. Stop and think
A new piece of software arrives in the office or in your home. How do you go about learning about it?
• Do you install it and start trying it out? (Activist)
• Do you watch as others show you how to use it? (Reflector)
• Do you learn about the background to it and the similarities with other programmes? (Theorist)
• Do you not bother experimenting until you find a clear purpose for it? (Pragmatist)

5. Work based learning It is a learning that takes place
To work – knowledge acquisition
For work – knowledge sharing with others
From work – knowledge utilization
(Seagraves et al., 1996).

6. Few theories of learning

7. Few learning theories
Behaviorism
Cognitivism
Social Learning Theory

8. Behaviorism Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning
The theory originates from the works of Ivan Pavlov’s, classical conditioning, and B. F. Skinner’s, operant conditioning.

9. Changing Behavior via Learning
Associative learning - learning that occurs by making a connection or association between two events.
Classical conditioning – association between stimuli in the environment and involuntary reflexive behaviors.
Operant conditioning – association between the consequences of our behaviors and our voluntary actions.

14. Classical Conditioning Theory
Learning a conditioned response involves building up an association between the unconditioned stimuli and the conditioned stimuli.
When unconditioned and conditioned stimuli are paired, the conditioned stimuli takes on the properties of the unconditioned stimuli and generates a conditioned response.

15. Pavlovian Model of Classical Conditioning

16. Example Visit from head office and cleaning of windowpanes.

17. Operant Conditioning Theory

18. 3
Operant Conditioning
Learning that takes place when the learner recognizes the connection between a behavior and its consequences.
Individuals learn to behave in certain ways to achieve desirable consequences or avoid undesirable consequences.

19. Operant conditioning Law of effect
Behaviors that are reinforced will increase in likelihood.
Behaviors that are punished will decrease in likelihood.

20. Reinforcer vs. Punisher
Something that tends to increase the likelihood of the behavior
Punishers
Something that tends to decrease the likelihood of the behavior
