Module 7: Theory-based Instructional Strategies
____________________________________________________________________________
Use the readings, videos, and the supplemental resources in this guide to complete the
study focus questions below. Note that the notebook includes active links to some of the
resources, i.e. videos, graphic organizers.
**TIP – If you plan to print the notebook out and fill it in by hand, you can add spaces in
the charts for your notes beforehand.
After engaging with this module, you should be able to do the following:
• Explain intelligence theories, concepts, and strategies.
• Explain behaviorist theories, concepts, and strategies.
• Explain cognitivist theories (e.g., information processing and social cognitive), concepts,
and strategies.
• Explain humanistic and motivation theories, concepts, and strategies.
• Explain cooperative and collaborative learning, concepts, and strategies.
• Explain constructivist theories, concepts, and strategies.
Milestone 1: Explain intelligence theories, concepts, and strategies.
Theory Theorist Summary
General Spearman G factor - general intelligence
Intelligence
the single G was responsible for each type of mental ability
G - general ability
S - specific abilities
• mechanical
• verbal
• spatial
• numerical
Primary Mental Thurstone verbal comprehension, word fluency, number facility,
Abilities spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed
and reasoning
Multiple Gardner • verbal-linguistic intelligence
Intelligence • logical-mathematical intelligence
• visual-spatial intelligence
• musical intelligence
• naturalisic intelligence
• bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
, • interpersonal intelligence
• intrapersonal intelligence
Triarchic Sternberg capacity of mental self-management
domains- creative(experiential), analytical(componential),
practical(contextual)
What is the difference between crystalized and fluid intelligence?
-crystalized: accumulated knowledge and verbal skills, increase with age
-fluid: our ability to reason quickly and abstractly , decrease with age

Milestone 2: Explain behaviorist theories, concepts, and strategies.
In the box below describe the 7 components of classical conditioning identified by Ivan
Pavlov:
Note: Components = Stimulus, Response, Unconditioned Stimulus, Unconditioned Response,
Neutral Stimulus, Conditioned Response.
-stimulus: control object
-response: stimulus produces a response (guinea pig)
-unconditioned stimulus: triggers some kind of physiological response
-unconditioned response: ucs elecits ucr
-neutral stimulus: something you can sense by seeing, tasting, hearing, etc (fridge door)
-conditioned response: learned response
Unlike classical conditioning, operant conditioning relied on shaping behavior through
punishment, rewards, and schedules of reinforcement. Use the table below to identify the
components of operant conditioning according to B.F. Skinner:
