Perry’s Theory • Perry wrote a scheme that is a model for understanding how college students come to understand knowledge, the ideas they know about ‘knowing’ and the ways thinking and knowing is part of a cognitive process. • There are nine stages that they pass through, some are • The authorities know • the true authorities are right, the others are frauds • Everything is relevant but not equally valid • You make your own decisions

  6. Ivan Pavlov

  7. Ivan PavlovBehavioral Theorist (1849-1936) • Received a degree for Natural Sciences from the University of St. Petersburg • Professor of Pharmacology at Medical Military Academy • Is famous for the conditioned reflex and classical conditioning

  8. Pavlov’s Contributions • 1875- Graduated from the University of St. Petersburg • 1879- Graduated from the Medical Military Academy • 1897- Published lectures of the digestive glands • 1904- Received the Nobel Peace Prize for his research of the digestive glands • 1935- Government built a laboratory for Pavlov for his work on conditioned reflexes

  9. Pavlov’s Theory • Classical Conditioning is a form of learning in which a conditioned stimulus signals the occurrence of another unconditioned stimulus. • The unconditioned stimulus is usually a significant stimulus such as food or pain, something that gives a response from the start. • The stimuli in a classroom would be the grade, either reward or punishment.

  10. Perry’s theory on adult learning • Perry did a study of college students which is used to understand a students cognitive processes which includes both ethical and intellectually development. • Perry believed we all view the world differently due to factors such as gender, religion, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. • In some cases students may resist to learn content that challenges their beliefs, or they may argue that their answers are just as valid as the teachers.

  11. Pavlov’s theory on adult learning • Teachers are applying classical conditioning in their classrooms by providing with them with a positive classroom environment. • If they pair a anxiety- provoking situation, like public speaking, in a pleasant classroom environment they can make a new association of public speaking as a positive experience and keep them relaxed and calm

  12. Summary: Application of learning theories on Adult Education • Perry’s theory is used in many Universities. • Ex: Professors know how to come across teaching students in the different stages of their mentality. Pavlov’s theory is used in all types of classrooms. Ex: Teachers help students through Pavlov’s theory in the classroom by providing a positive environment in stressful situations. This helps the students associate the negative situation with a positive experience.
