Study Notes
Learning Modes and Theories
- Physical Action and Manipulation: Learning through experiencing activities actively rather than passively absorbing information.
Sternberg's Successful Intelligence Theory
- Main Focus: Emphasizes three components of intelligence—analytical, creative, and practical skills.
- Influences on Intelligence: Highlights the role of context and environment in shaping an individual's intelligence.
Bruner's Constructivist Theory
- Sequencing of Lessons: Lessons should follow a spiral structure, revisiting topics with increasing complexity over time.
Ausubel's Subsumption Theory
- Types of Subsumption: Introduced the concept of subsumption, detailing how new information relates to existing knowledge.
- Derivative Subsumption: Involves incorporating new information to refine and differentiate existing similar concepts.
Gestalt Psychology
- Pattern Perception: Explains the tendency to perceive meaningful patterns and structures within sensory information.
- Proximity Principle: States that elements situated close together are perceived as a cohesive group.
- Completion of Figures: Describes the natural inclination to fill in gaps in incomplete images or figures.
Active Role of the Mind
- Shift in Psychology: Emphasized by thinkers who transformed the understanding of perception, moving from a stimulus-response paradigm to recognizing the active role of cognition.
Constructivism
- Active Understanding: The theory posits that learners construct personal meaning through engagement and interaction with their environment.
Instructional Approaches
- Diverse Learning Needs: Recognizes that various learning strategies are necessary to address different types of learning.
Prior Knowledge's Role in Learning
- Impact on Meaningful Learning: Prior knowledge acts as a foundation that helps integrate new information meaningfully.
- Advance Organizers: Serve as tools to connect new information with existing knowledge, facilitating comprehension and retention.
Engaging in Meaningful Learning
- Effective Engagement: Encourages learners to connect their current knowledge with new experiences for deeper understanding.
- Subsumption Integration: New information can merge with multiple existing concepts for creating novel insights.
