Study Notes
Behaviourist Approach
- Ivan Pavlov (1927) developed classical conditioning, focusing on publicly observable responses.
- This approach uses the scientific method, avoiding introspection.
- It centers on observable behaviours and their conditioning, ignoring subjective experiences.
- Classical conditioning involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.
- Operant conditioning, by B.F. Skinner, focuses on voluntary behaviours modified by reinforcement or punishment.
- Positive reinforcement strengthens behaviour by adding a desirable consequence.
- Negative reinforcement strengthens behavior by removing an undesirable consequence.
- Positive punishment weakens behaviour by adding an undesirable consequence.
- Negative punishment weakens behaviour by removing a desirable consequence.
- Reinforcement schedules (variable-ratio, fixed-ratio) determine when reinforcement occurs.
Habit Formation
- Habits are a regular tendency or practice, hard to change, often unconscious actions.
- We need habits for efficiency, consistency, goal achievement, health and wellness, and time management.
- Habits involve a cue, routine, and reward.
- The cue triggers a routine, and the reward reinforces the habit loop.
Social Learning Theory
- Individual cognitive development, according to Piaget, is a solitary act.
- Vygotsky's theory emphasizes social interaction as a primary factor in cognitive development.
- More knowledgeable others—people who possess more knowledge or skill—help guide learners.
- The social learning theory describes observation of others as a critical aspect of the experience process.
- The stages include focusing attention, observing, and analysis of the behaviour.
- Scaffolding and spiral design of curriculum are important tools.
Cognitive Learning Theory
- Learning involves the active mind's role in processing learning opportunities and developing knowledge engagement.
- John Dewey (1859-1952) emphasises reflection-led learning from experience.
- Progressive education focuses on the holistic development of students, involving learning through reflection.
- Experiential learning promotes active participation and reflection on experiences.
Kolb's Learning Styles
- Kolb's learning styles model is a tool for evaluating and understanding diverse learning preferences.
- Diverging learners excel in idea generation and exploration of diverse perspectives. They prefer to watch and feel.
- Assimilating learners emphasise concise logic and analytical approaches, preferring to think and watch.
- Converging learners excel in practical applications and solutions to practical problems, preferring to think and do.
- Accommodating learners excel at hands-on tasks and prefer to feel and do.
Bloom's Taxonomy
- Bloom's taxonomy classifies learning objectives into six levels of increasing complexity: remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, and creating.
Procrastination
- Procrastination is a habit, often driven by pleasure, excuses, and cheating.
- We can fight this by planning (short and long-term, daily plan), habit schemata (trigger, routine, prize), and learning the value of long-term goals.
