  1. How Learning Theories Account for Group Development andReadiness Assurance:Piaget, Vygotsky and Bandura Michael Sweet Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment University of Texas, Austin msweet@austin.utexas.edu

  2. Overview • Introduction to the theorists and theories • Application to group development (me) • Application to readiness assurance (you!)

  3. The Players Jean Piaget - Cognitive constructivist Lev Vygotsky - Social constructivist Albert Bandura - Motivational theorist

  4. Cognitive Constructivism (Piaget) • Learning is: The active, iterative development of mental maps and categories to organize our understanding of ongoing experience. • Subject Object relations (knowledge is neither innate nor simply behavioristic) • Assimilation and Accommodation Equilibration(carry-on vs. check your baggage?) • Knowledge-building-conflict and perspective-taking

  5. Social Constructivism (Vygotsky) • Development is: Increasingly sophisticated co-creation of a discourse culture via mastery of (and shaping by) its cultural tools. • No distinction between cognitive and social development • Higher-order learning functions first arise “inter-psychologically” then are internalized by the individual (fire sticks) • Negotiated intersubjectivity the “zone of proximal development” (ZPD)

  6. Social Cognitive Theory(Bandura) Learning is: Secondary to motivation (value + expectancy). • Self-efficacy – perceived ability to achieve something specific • Collective-efficacy – individually-held belief in group ability • Modeling – observational learning

  7. Vectors of Group Development • (Birmingham & McCord, 2004) • Trust in an attraction to group (less more) • Goal identification (self-interest group goals) • Perception of others’ abilities (stereotype specific) • Communication (social task) • Frequency of disagreement (less more) • Conflict resolution (face saving consensus) • Complex intellectual ability (less more)

  8. How Would Each Theorist Explain the Instructional Value of the RAP?
