Study Notes
Learning Theories
- Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience.
- Learning theories explain the process of acquiring knowledge and skills.
- Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors, emphasizing external stimuli and responses.
- Key figures include Pavlov, Skinner, and Thorndike.
- Classical conditioning involves associating a neutral stimulus with a naturally occurring stimulus to evoke a response.
- Operant conditioning involves associating a behavior with its consequences (rewards or punishments) to increase or decrease its occurrence.
- Observational learning involves learning by observing others.
Cognitivism
- Cognitivism emphasizes internal mental processes involved in learning.
- It focuses on how learners acquire, process, and store information.
- Information Processing theory looks at how information is stored and retrieved emphasizing the rehearsal and use of information.
- Schema theory proposes that knowledge is organized into mental structures (schemas) that help understand and interpret new information.
- Metacognition is the awareness of one's own learning processes.
Constructivism
- Learners actively construct their own understanding of the world based on their experiences and interactions with the environment.
- The teacher acts as a facilitator providing a framework for exploration, promoting group collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Social Learning Theory (SLT)
- SLT emphasizes learning through observation and modeling.
- Key figure is Albert Bandura.
- SLT modeling process consists of Attention, Retention, Reproduction and Motivation.
- This helps learners to understand and interpret new information.
Humanistic Learning Theory
- This perspective emphasizes the whole person, including feelings, values and needs.
- Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs (biological, safety, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization) is a key element of humanistic learning.
- Adult learners are considered autonomous and therefore should be encouraged to take ownership of their learning process.
Experiential Learning Theory
- Experiential learning emphasizes the importance of practical experience and reflection in the learning process.
- A key figure in this theory is David Kolb.
Connectivism Learning Theory
- Connectivism learning theory emphasizes the role of technology in learning.
- It promotes a social and collaborative approach to learning.
- Different viewpoints and perspectives are encouraged in the process
Applications of Learning Theories in Medical Education
- Case-based learning applies theoretical knowledge to practical situations.
- Simulations provide real-life practice for clinical skills.
- Concept mapping helps students visualize relationships between concepts.
- Reflective practice encourages self-evaluation of learning experiences.
- Collaborative learning promotes knowledge sharing and discussion.
