Learning Foundations and Neurodiversity
Learning traditional definition:
● A relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience
Learning inclusive definition:
● A dynamic process where individuals acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes, and
behaviors through diverse pathways, at varying paces, using different cognitive
approaches, resulting in measurable capability improvements"
Inclusive workplace learning includes:
● Multiple learning modalities
● Peer-to-peer knowledge transfer
● Continuous feedback loops
● Technology-enabled accessibility
● Personalized development paths
● Diverse assessment methods
Learning outcomes Traditional:
Bloom's Taxonomy (Cognitive Domain):
• REMEMBER → Recall facts and basic concepts
• UNDERSTAND → Explain ideas and concepts
• APPLY → Use information in new situations
• ANALYZE → Draw connections among ideas
• EVALUATE → Justify decisions or courses of action
• CREATE → Produce new or original work
Gagne's Classification Of Learning Outcomes:
• INTELLECTUAL SKILLS → Procedural knowledge ("knowing how")
• COGNITIVE STRATEGIES → Learning how to learn
• VERBAL INFORMATION → Declarative knowledge ("knowing that")
• MOTOR SKILLS → Physical coordination and execution
