Study Notes
Behaviorist Orientation to Learning
- Focuses on observable behavior, not internal thought processes.
- Learning is a change in behavior shaped by the environment.
- Key principles: contiguity (timing of events for bond formation) and reinforcement (increasing likelihood of repeated events).
- Stimulus-response (S-R) theory: responses strengthened or weakened by consequences (Thorndike).
- Operant conditioning: reinforcing desired behaviors, ignoring or punishing undesired ones (Skinner).
- Four key principles for learning (Hartley): activity, repetition, generalization, and discrimination.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Five levels of needs: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
- Lower needs must be met before higher ones are pursued (debated).
- Self-actualization: fulfilling potential, and able to follow social norms without losing independence.
- Learning contributes to self-actualization and psychological health.
- Criticism: lower needs may not always precede higher ones, self-actualization qualities may be culturally specific.
Constructivism and Social Constructivism
- Constructivism: knowledge is actively constructed by the learner, influenced by prior knowledge and new experiences.
- Social constructivism: emphasizes social interaction in knowledge construction (Vygotsky).
- Principles of Constructivism:
- Knowledge is constructed, not innate or passively absorbed.
- Learning is an active process, not passive reception of information.
- All knowledge is socially constructed through interaction and shared experience.
- All knowledge is personal, shaped by individual experiences and values. Despite this, shared common knowledge exists, and cultures constantly evolve.
