CTP Notes 6th March

Theoretical approaches to Learning

Given 3 x handouts – Social, cognitive and behaviourist learning

Training we’ve hosted or attended. Which methods have we used / witnessed? Which worked?


Social Learning – role plays with feedback. The learner cannot rely solely on their own actions, their peers / tutor has a big impact. Negative experience of long multiplication horror when I was 8 years old.

Cognitive – lots of the cargiant sessions are like this – too cognitive at the expense of other methods – too theoretical

Behaviourist – Al of us here at Ux are examples of behaviourist learning. It’s a means to an end – a reward.


Outstanding retention of learning handout. Fascinating.

Pyramid handout – Domains of learning.

Psychomotor
Cogntive - Bloom
Affective

What methods do you use when you put together training?
Think of the delegates’ personalities / level of expertise
Make message clear
What’s the desired Learning Outcome
Environment
Resources - £, time, equipment, venue
Mix up the modes of delivery
How can we measure success
How can we know what level reached
Decide which method most effective to deliver particular message
