Study Notes
Learning Theories Overview
- Learning theories provide frameworks for understanding how knowledge is acquired and processed.
- Key contributors include Jerome Bruner and Robert Gagne, who developed significant models impacting education.
Jerome Bruner
- An influential American psychologist and educator, born October 1, 1915, in New York, and passed away June 5, 2016.
- Known for contributions to cognitive psychology and educational theories focusing on children's learning processes.
Discovery Learning
- Introduced by Bruner, this method emphasizes inquiry-based instruction where learners engage actively with their experiences.
- Encourages exploration, intuition, creativity, and constructing knowledge rather than passive absorption.
Principles of Discovery Learning
- Problem Solving: Guides learners to combine new information with existing knowledge, promoting active participation and broader applications.
- Learner Management: Allows learners to work individually or collaboratively at their own pace, reducing stress and fostering ownership of learning.
- Integrating and Connecting: Instructors help learners link prior knowledge to new information, situating learning in familiar contexts.
- Information Analysis and Interpretation: Focuses on analyzing and interpreting rather than memorizing information, fostering deeper understanding.
- Failure and Feedback: Emphasizes that learning occurs through discovery and the process, not just by finding the correct answers.
Techniques in Discovery Learning
- Educational sessions should be experiential and interactive, utilizing stories, games, and visual aids to foster curiosity and engagement.
Robert Gagne
- Born August 21, 1916, and died April 28, 2002, Gagne was a prominent American educational psychologist.
- Developed a classification system for types of learning, emphasizing cognitive processes' complexity.
Gagne's Hierarchy of Learning
- Signal Learning: Basic conditioning where a neutral stimulus elicits a desired response through association with an unconditioned stimulus.
- Stimulus-Response Learning: Developing stimulus-response connections reinforced through rewards and punishments.
- Chaining: Linking multiple stimulus-response bonds for more complex tasks, essential for mastering psychomotor skills.
- Verbal Association: A type of chaining focused on verbal connections, crucial for language skill development.
- Multiple Discrimination Learning: Ability to differentiate responses to similar stimuli, affected by interference leading to forgetting.
- Concept Learning: Forming consistent responses to stimuli within a category, foundational for skills like generalization and classification.
- Rule Learning: Involves understanding and applying relationships between concepts across varying situations.
- Problem Solving: Highest cognitive process level, requiring the formulation of algorithms to address complex problems.
Educational Implications
- Gagne advocates for a sequenced organization of educational content, ensuring prerequisite skills are mastered before advancing to complex concepts.
