3. LEARNING is the acquisition and development of memories and behaviors, including skills, knowledge, understanding, values and wisdom. It is the goal of education, and the product of experience.

4. LEARNING is defined as a persisting change in human performance or performance potential (Driscoll, 2005, p. 9). WHAT IS LEARNING? Reiser, R.A. & Dempsey, J.V. (2007). Trends and issues in instructional design and technology (2nd Edition). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Merrill Prentice Hall.
5. HOW DOES LEARNING OCCUR? LEARNING is defined further by how it is thought to occur. In most psychological theories, learning comes about as a consequence of the learner’s experiences and interaction with the world. (Driscoll,2005, p. 9), and this interaction is understood as an individual process. Reiser, R.A. & Dempsey, J.V. (2007). Trends and issues in instructional design and technology (2nd Edition). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Merrill Prentice Hall.

11. OBJECTIVISM FROM CONSTRUCTIVISM. DIFFERENTIATE OBJECTIVISM Learning is transmitted knowledge. Learning has to be teacher directed. Instruction should be directed, systematic and structured. Students should all pass the same test and standardization means accountability. A few technology applications, such as drill and practice and tutorials, are associated with directed instructions. CONSTRUCTIVISM Knowledge is constructed, not transmitted. Instruction is student centered. Students do activities that help them generate their own knowledge. Students show what they have learned in different ways, not just on written test. Some technology applications, such as web-based learning and multimedia production, are associated with inquiry-based learning. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010). Integrating educational technology into teaching (5th edition) . Boston MA: Ally & Bacon.
12. Behavorist Theory by B. F. Skinner Learning is based on the notion of operant conditioning. Behaviors that are rewarded tend to be exhibited more often than those that are not. Positive and negative reinforcements increase desired behaviors with rewards. Punishment decreases undesirable behaviors with aversive stimuli Learning happens inside the mind and it can not be seen directly. Learning can only be inferred by observing behaviors. Learning can be understood, explained, predicted entirely on the basis of observable events, namely, the behavior of the learner along with its environment antecedents and consequence. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010). Integrating educational technology into teaching (5th edition) . Boston MA: Ally & Bacon. DESCRIBE THE LEARNING THEORIES ASSOCIATED WITH O BJECTIVISM ?

14. Information-Processing Theory by Atkinson and Shiffrin The mind has three stores. The sensory registers receive information a person senses through receptors. After few seconds, the information is lost or is transferred to the short-term memory. The short-term memory holds the information for few seconds. If the information is not processed then it is lost . Otherwise, it will be transferred to the long-term memory. The long-term memory will hold the processed information indefinitely. Learning is encoding information into human memory. The mind is compared to a computer in which the mind, like a computer, stores information. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010).

15. System Theory and Systematic Instructional Design Gagne and Briggs believed that learning is most efficient if it is supported by a carefully designed system of instruction. Gagne promoted the instructional task analysis while Briggs offered systematic methods of designing training programs. When these two areas of expertise were combined, it resulted to what is called the system approach to instructional design or systematic instructional design. The theory was a collaborative work of Robert Gagne and Leslie Briggs. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010). Integrating educational technology into teaching (5th edition) .

16. Social Activism Theory by J. Dewey The ultimate aim of education is to help individuals understand their culture and should develop their relationship to and unique roles in the society. Learning is individual growth that comes about through social experiences. Students should be engaged in activities connected to real-world issues and problems. The curriculum of the school should consider the interests of the students and should be taught as integrated topics, rather than as isolated skills. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010).

17. Scaffolding Theory by L. Vygotsky Adults (experts) learn differently from children (novices). The difference in the learning ability between the adults and the children is called the Zone of Proximal Development. Adults should teach the children in a scaffolding manner. Teaching should be done in such a way that the instruction is aligned to where the child is, in his or her development stage and help him or her build experiences from that stage. Learning is cognitive development shaped by individual differences and the influence of culture. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010).

18. Child Development Theory by J. Piaget Children undergo stages of cognitive development. These stages are sensorimotor (birth – 2 years), preoperational (2 – 7 years), concrete operational (7 – 11 years) and formal operations (12- 15 years). Children develop through these stages by their interaction with their environment. Learning is cognitive growth through neurological and social maturation. Children experience disequilibrium when they encounter unknowns in their environment, respond with assimilation to fit something into their views or accommodation if they want to change their views of something.

19. Discovery Learning by J. Bruner Children remember things better if they discovered these things by themselves. Learning is cognitive growth through interaction with the environment. Teachers believed that discovery learning would happen only if a structured type of learning was given first to the learners. Roblyer, M. D., & Doering, A. H. (2010).

20. Multiple Intelligence Theory by H. Gardner There are at least eight independent types of intelligence. These are linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalist intelligence. Learning is shaped by innate intelligence. Roblyer, M.

24. WHAT IS A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT? The place and setting where learning occurs A learning environment is a place or setting where learning occurs . The environment has two components, namely, instruction and learners. The instruction can be delivered in different modes. The learner subjects himself into the requirements of the instruction in order to attain a desired objective. The attainment of a desired objective is evaluated to determine if the instruction is effective and if learning actually occurred.

29. WHAT IS LEARNER MOTIVATION? Learner Motivation is defined as the psychological feature that arouses a learner’s desire to attain a well-defined instructional goal. This motivation can be described as extrinsic motivation which is the learner’s desire for rewards and avoidance for punishment or intrinsic motivation which is the learner’s curiosity and desire for mastering achievement.
30. DESCRIBE THE COMPONENT PARTS OF KELLER’S ARCS MODEL FOR MOTIVATION. http://www.e-learningguru.com/articles/art3_5.htm John Keller created the ARCS model for motivation. The acronym ARCS stands for Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction A TTENTION –The learner should be subjected to a stimuli in order to arouse his interest so as to get his attention. R ELEVANCE – In order for the learner to be interested in instruction, the learner must understand fully the relevance and the benefits that he will get out of listening to the instruction. C ONFIDENCE – The learner should have a good amount of faith in himself that he is capable of meeting the requirements of instruction. S ATISFACTION – The learner should experience some form of a reward after the learning experience.
