Definitions: Learning is:
1. “A persisting change in human performance or performance potential . . . (brought)
about a result of the learner’s interaction with the environment”
2. “The relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due to experience”
3. “An enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience”

Learning TheoryQ: How do people learn?A: Nobody really knows.But there are some theories:
Behaviorism
Cognitivism
Humanism
Constructivism
Multiple Intelligences
Brain-Based Learning

What is behaviorism?Learning is the result of an association between a stimulus and a response
Learning are measured through changes in the individual behavior.Classical conditioning:
Watson 1920Pavlov 1927
Operant conditioning: Thorndike 1898Skinner
![Page 6: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Classical conditioning - WatsonAccording John B. Watson – 1920,
learning is not inborn behavior, rather behaviors are learned from environment.
He did an experiment with 6 months old boy little Albert.
Based on his experiments he proved that fear and worries are learned by surroundings
and not inherited.

Little Albert experimentThis experiment led to the following
progression of results:Introduction of a loud sound resulted
in fear, a natural response. Introduction of a rat paired with the
loud sound resulted in fear. Successive introductions of a rat
resulted in fear. Here, learning is demonstrated.

Thorndike's “law of effect”
Law of effect means “responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce a discomforting effect become less likely to occur again in that situation.”
![Page 14: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Thorndike's “law of effect” (S-R)Puzzle box experiments:
A cat put in a puzzle box and food placed outside. Random movements of cat eventually opened the door & cat ate the food before being put back into box. Over a period of trials his movements became less random & eventually he was able to open the door immediately he was placed in the puzzle box
Behavior that results in success or reward is more likely to be repeated than behavior that does not

Behaviorism Operant Conditioning - Skinner
The response is made first, then reinforcement follows.

How would you apply positive and negative reinforcement in a classroomREINFORCEMENT (It increase the
desired behavior)
PUNISHMENT (It decreases the
desired behavior)
Positive Negative Positive Negative •Smile•Nods •Sounds of approval•Give compliments•Praise with words or action
Providing free marks for the test or assignment
Scolding when they commits mistakes
Don’t do that
Sending the students out of the class for breaking the rules

What is Social Learning or modeling theory
Learning takes place through observation and sensorial experiences
Imitating the others action
![Page 21: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

How learning occurs through Social learning theoryIt occurs under 4 condition: 1. Attention – the person must 1st pay
attention to the model. 2. Retention – the observer must able
to remember the behavior that has been observed.
3. Motor reproduction – ability to replicate the behavior that the model has just demonstrated
4. Motivation – re demonstration
![Page 22: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Learning and teaching applications relative to Behaviorist theory in a classroom
Learning applications Teaching applications
Human beings learn through trial and error.Learning develops over time
Positive and negative feedback influences learning
Provide opportunity for problem SolvingProvide adequate practice time, plan retest or repeat demonstrations both immediately and at later Intervals.
Reward the learner for all correct behavior, praising positive behavior is better than punishing mistakes.
![Page 23: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2323
Cont… Learning is strengthened each time a positive response is received or a negative consequences is avoided Learning occurs through linking behavior with an associated response
Continue praise and positive reinforcement throughout the teaching transaction
Proceed from simple to complex, do mini closure, share your experience, create concept map etc.
Learning remains until other learning interferes with original learned response
Assess prior experience with subject, some unlearning may be needed before new learning can take place
![Page 24: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2424
Exercise Reflect about some positive and negative reinforcement which could you received from your school teachers.
Reflect and compare about your starting stage of learning occurred in diploma nursing and degree nursing
Reflect on How you will analyze the learning response of the learners in a practice teaching?

What is CognivitismLearners construct new ideas based on
previous knowledge and experiences.
Cognitive learning takes when learner linking information that was formerly (assimilate) learned with the new information (accommodate) being learned.
![Page 26: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2626
CognivitismConcerned with thinking, perception, organisation & insight
Learners actively involved in problem-solving, seeking out new information & drawing on past experiences to gain understanding
![Page 27: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Cognitive Learning Theories are
Gestalt theoryAssimilation theory - David Ausubel
![Page 28: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
2828
Gestalt theory – Kohler’s ExperimentIn this experiment, the chimpanzee named
Grande was placed in an enclosure surrounded by wooden boxes. Initially, the animal jumped to reach the banana but was unsuccessful. Later, Grande dragged the boxes under the bananas and stacked the boxes on top of one another. Using the boxes as a step ladder, the animal got to the bananas.
Interpretation: the chimp was processing the information around it, and then arriving at a solution.

The importance of this theory in teaching are: Insightful learning occurs when the student
analyzes the available information in relation to the problems and attempts to create an appropriate responses the solve the problem.
Here, the students needs supervision, to ensure that the student does not omit an important aspect or suggest something which could be harmful, but the teacher is not controlling the student’s behavior.

3232
Assimilation learning theory
Cognitive learning depends on the adaptation of previous & existing knowledge &/or experiences to form new insights.
Ausubel (1978) sees that the way mentors select & present information is the key to effective learning. In his ‘assimilation theory of learning’ he states that the most meaning cognitive learning takes place as a result of interaction between new information the individual acquires & the specifically relevant cognitive structures s/he already possesses.

Responsibility of teacher in CT:
Ask the students regarding pre requisite knowledge before planning and teaching a lesson.
Present organized lessons.Teacher should understand a student’s
experience and stage of development and lessons developed are mentally appropriate.
Students to be prepared for learning to assimilate and accommodate all information.
Allow space for the students to share their experience.

Learning and teaching applications relative to cognitive theoryLearning
applicationTeaching application
•Learning is based on a change in perception.
•Perceptions are influenced by the senses.
All learning cannot be observed, information must be internalized.Use multi sensory teaching strategies, adjust environment to minimize distractions.

3636
Constructivism
It is an active process in which learners construct the concept or new ideas based on their current/ past knowledge.
![Page 37: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
3737
Discovery learningThe learner selects and transforms
information, constructs hypothesis and make decision.
Encourage students to discover principles. Why is there a rainbow
Because it just rained.

Constructivism
But I only see a rainbow when it is sunny
You’re right, there must be sun
So we need sunand rain for a rainbow!

3. Humanistic theorist believe that:
The student who is the one should determine what is to be learned, and that learning should relate to their own experiences.
![Page 43: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

3. Humanism (Rogers 1983,Knowles 1984)
Rogers (1983) sees the purpose of education as individual growth, to enable the development of a fully functioning person. So focus on human values and concerns.
Here the teacher should act as a facilitator , provider of resources for learning and shares feelings as well as knowledge with their students
![Page 44: Learning Theories](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/557e224ad8b42a807e8b45a9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
4444
How the teachers should approach the learners through humanistic theory? The most important factor in learning is the
relationship that exists between facilitator & student. The relationship is based on few key factors:
oGenuineness: the mentor should come over as a real person & be able to develop a normal relationship with the learner
oTrust & acceptance: the mentor should see & accept the learner as an individual worthy of their care & respect
oEmpathetic understanding: the mentor should be able to see things from the learners perspective & act appropriately in response to this

..cont..
o Encourage learners to set their own goals and work toward them
oAvoid imposing own values and views on learner
oExpose learners to new, necessary information
oPose relevant questions to encourage learner to seek answers.

1. verbal – linguistic (good in words and languages)
2. visual – spatial ( ability to visualize the mind’s eye)
3. kinesthetic – capacity to handle objects skillfully.
4. logical - mathematical
