& Special Concepts(Correct answers)
Behaviorism ( Watson, SKinner, Pavlov, & Bandura) correct answers1) Learning is observable
through behavior
2) Learning is reinforced by response
3) Behavior modification leads to control
4) Token economies may be used for classroom management
5) Instructional objectives guide learning
6) Learning is shaped by others
7) Learning is teacher centered
***Behaviorism does not explain the intrinsic motivation of the learner. All Learning is not
displayed in behavior. By predetermining objectives or outcomes, the depth and breadth of the
learners' experiences may be squelched.
Idealism (Plato & Socrates) - Worldview Philosphy correct answersIdeas are important
People would like to live in a perfect world
Interactive immersion education (eg gaming) may allow participation in the ideal world.
Realism (Positivism) (Aristotle) - Worldview Philosphy correct answersThe world is orderly
Science can be viewed objectively & Analyzed
Develops knowledge that is value & context free
Pragmatic (Dewey, Pierce) - Worldview Philosphy correct answersIdeas can be tested
scientifically
The human experiences is important
Theory was influenced by social reform and the growth of citizenship in the early 19th century
Perennialism (Thomas Aquinas) - Educational Philosphy correct answersTraditional education
style
Teacher centered
Liberal education is valued
Includes great thinkers of the past
Prepares learners for adult life
Reading, Writing & Arithmetic are important
Essentailism (Bagley, Hirsh) - Educational Philosphy correct answersTraditional education
approach
Develops learners minds through knowledge passed from the educator to the learner
A core curriculum is valued, as are democracy & cultural heritage
Physical world is the true reality
Learners should appreciate the masterworks of art & literature
Learners need critical thinking skills to heal society
Teacher-directed learning
, Progressivism (Dewey) - Educational Philosphy correct answersSchool mimics society
Real-life curriculum & problem-solving exercises are the mort important
Attends to & optimizes inquisitive, active learners
Experiential learning to take place
Learners to have choices about what to learn
Learners are engaged in group and peer learning
Education experiences are learner centered
Information Processing (Gagne) - Learning Theories correct answersDescribes how information
is received, stored, & processed in the mind
Behaviorism (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner) - Learning Theories correct answersStimulus-response is
the basis of learning
An environment develops the person
Requires behavior modification & management
Positive Reinforcement is used to encourage acceptable behavior
Generated the idea of "programmed learning'
Tyler (1949) introduced behavioral objectives
Faculty decides on the educational experience
Education is still steeped in behaviorism today with lockstep curricula
Social Learning Theory or Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1997) - Learning Theories correct
answersRole-modeling behavior for learners
Perception of confidence in oneself in the situation (self-efficacy)
Positive expectations are the incentives
Bandura;s ten, reciprocal determination, means that the world and the person's behavior cause

The learner tries to make sense out of his or her perceptions and experiences (Mann, 2011)
Doing is learning
Social negotiation is a part of learning
Multiple perspectives on subject are supported
Taking ownership of learning is important
Being self-aware & reflective in the knowledge acquisition process is important to learning
The goal is problem-solving, reasoning, critical thinking, & active & reflective us of knowledge
Most important, it is learner focused
Piaget: described cognitive learning as a process of accommodation, assimilation, &
equilibration
Knowles's Adult Learning Theory supports constructivism because it also builds on the learners
previous experiences.
