Andragogy-Is an attempt to develop a theory specifically for adult learning?

-Emphasizes the adults are self directed and expect to take responsibility
for decisions.
Anchored Instruction
-Based upon social constructivist theory. It is actually a paradigm for technology
based instruction.
Cognitive dissonance
-There is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their conditions
(Beliefs, opinions).
-Inconsistency between attitudes or behaviors Dissonance, something must change
to eliminate dissonance.
Cognitive load theory
-this theory suggests that learning happens best under conditions that are aligned with
human cognitive architecture.
Conditions of Learning
-this theory stipulates that there are several different types or levels of learning.
Connectionism
-represents the original S-R framework of behavioral psychology: learning is the result of
associations forming between stimuli and responses.
-associations or habits become strengthened or weakened by the nature and frequency
of the S-R pairings.
Constructivist theory
-learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based
upon their current/past knowledge.
-learner selects and transforms information, constructs hypotheses, and make decisions,
relying on a cognitive structure to do so.
Double loop learning
-focus of the theory is on solving problems that are complex and ill structured and which
change as problem solving advances.
Experiential learning
-is equivalent to personal change and growth.
-feels that all human beings have a natural propensity to learn; the role of the teacher
is to facilitate such learning.
Information processing theory
-is chunking and the capacity of short term memory.
Lateral thinking
-recognize dominant ideas that polarize perception of a problem.
Multiple intelligences
-there are number of distinct forms of intelligences that each individual possesses in varying
degrees.
Operant conditioning
-is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior.
-changes in behavior are the result of an individuals response tom events stimuli that occur
in the environment.
Structural learning theory
-what is learned are rules which consist of domain, range, and procedure.
-there may be alternative rules sets for any given class of tasks.
Social Development theory
-is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition.
Social learning theory
-emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and
emotional reactions of others.
Triarchic Theory
-the componential sub theory specifies the potential set of mental process that underlies
behavior
