Behaviorism Portfolio
Positive reinforcement is common practice in the workplace, where the promise of monetary rewards, increased responsibilities, and higher status act as effective motivators for desired behavior.
Constructivism Portfolio
Human learning is constructed, and learners build new knowledge upon the foundations of previous learning. This prior knowledge influences what new or modified knowledge an individual will construct from new learning experiences.
Cognitivism Portfolio
Environmental conditions impact facilitated learning. Instructional explanations, demonstrations, illustrative examples, and matched non-examples are all considered instrumental in guiding the learning process. Similarly, emphasis is placed on the role of practice with corrective feedback.
Andragogy Portfolio
In practical terms, andragogy means that instruction for adults needs to focus more on the process and less on the content being taught. Strategies such as case studies, role playing, simulations, and self-evaluation are most useful. Instructors adopt a role of facilitator or resource rather than lecturer or grader.
Comparison of Learning Theories
This page compares the learning theories that have been explored in this course in a visual table format for ease of comparison.
Authentic Assessment Portfolio
Unlike conventional testing, an authentic assessment usually includes a task for learners to perform and a rubric by which their performance on the task will be evaluated.
Microlearning Project
Compared to traditional courses, a microlearning course is easier to start creating and faster to complete, because it delivers short bursts of content for learners to study at their convenience.
