Learning Theory Matrix Leanne Suttles 12/17/2011
Behaviorism: Learning is “changes in either the form or frequency of observable behavior (Ertmer & Newby, 1993).” (Byrne, 2011) Learning occurs when a proper response follows a specific stimulus. The response must be observable. Associations are made with consequences and reinforcements. the instructor is responsible for learning to occur. (Byrne, 2011) How Does Learning Occur? Main Menu
Behaviorism: What Factors Influence Learning? A Stimulus is presented. If a proper Response is given, then learning occurs. When a response is followed by reinforcement, the response is likely to occur again. (Byrne, 2011) Main Menu
Behaviorism: What is the role of memory? Memory is not addressed in Behaviorism, because it is not observable. (Byrne, 2011) Main Menu
Behaviorism: How Does Transfer Occur? Transfer is the result of generalizations. The learner must be presented with situations that involve identical or similar features. (Pearson, 2010) Main Menu

Cognitivism: How Does Learning Occur? Mental Activity: Internal coding and structuring by the learner Change occurs in state of knowledge (Gunderson, 2009) Main Menu
Cognitivism: What factors influence learning? Environmental conditions Practice with corrective feedback Processes of mental planning, goal-setting, and organizational strategies The way learners attend to, code, transform, rehearse, store and retrieve information Learners’ thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and values (Peggy A. Ertmer, 1993) Main Menu
Cognitivism: What is the Role of Memory? Information is organized and stored in a meaningful manner The Learner needs to relate new information to prior knowledge (Peggy A. Ertmer, 1993) Main Menu
Cognitivism: How Does Transfer Occur? Transfer occurs when the learner understands how to apply knowledge in different contexts (Peggy A. Ertmer, 1993) Main Menu
What Types of Learning are Best Explained by Cognitivism? Complex reasoning problem-solving information processing Communicate & Transfer knowledge in an efficient manner: simplify standardize : analyze- decompose- simplify into basic building blocks- eliminate irrelevant information (Peggy A. Ertmer, 1993) Main Menu
Cognitivism: How is Technology used for Learning in Your Industry? • Arrange practice with feedback so new information is effectively and efficiently assimilated or accommodated with the learner’s cognitive structure • Webs give students immediate feedback according to the information being requests. Students are able to express ideas in their own words thereby allowing them to connect assimilate the information according to their own cognitive structure • Connect new information to prior knowledge • Example: K-W-L charts allow students to make personal and meaningful connections to their prior experience Main Menu
Constructivism: How Does Learning Occur? Learning is an active process of creating meaning from different experiences. (Kim, 2001) Main Menu
Constructivism: What Factors Influence Learning? The Learner Learning Environment (Kim, 2001)
Constructivism: What is the Role of Memory? (Kim, 2001) Main Menu
Constructivism: How Does Transfer Occur? (Abbot, 2010) Main Menu
What Types of Learning are best explained by Constructivism? (Abbot, 2010) Main Menu
Constructivism: How is Technology used for Learning in Your Industry? (Gray, 97) Main Menu
Social Learning Theory: How Does Learning Occur? (Pearson, 2010) Learning Occurs Through Social Context Main Menu
Social Learning Theory: Factors that Influence Learning (Pearson, 2010) Main Menu
Social Learning Theory (Pearson, 2010) Main Menu
Social Learning Theory: What Types of Learning are Best Explained? (Pearson, 2010) Main Menu
Social Learning Theory: How is technology used for learning in your Industry? • The use of technology, within the Social Learning Theory, is a Constructivist approach. • Learners construct meaning through experience. • Learning is… • Interactive • Authentic • Learner-Centered (Pearson, 2010) Main Menu
