Overview:
This overview of six essential learning theories provides powerful models, methods, and techniques you can utilize to create and enhance highly effective learning experiences.
Whether your goal is education, training, or professional development, the six models presented in this webinar have been selected for their versatility, flexibility, and maximum applicability, regardless of context, audience, or content.
We will look at a variety of learning models and theories from the fields of cognitive and developmental psychology, curriculum development, instructional systems design, and testing/assessment research.
The session will cover the following topics:
ADDIE, SAM, and other ISD models.
We will look at the discipline of instructional systems design (ISD), the process of systematically creating effective learning solutions to ensure reliable results in learning and performance improvement.
The ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) is a globally-recognized guideline for trainers and educators to build effective learning content. The model gives you a streamlined, focused approach to your development process. We will also look at popular alternatives to the ADDIE model, including (P)ADDIE+M and the Successive Approximation Model (SAM).
Bloom's Taxonomy
For decades, Benjamin Bloom's framework for categorizing and classifying educational goals has been applied by K-12 teachers, college instructors, and training professionals. It is an essential tool for generating rigorous and testable learning objectives.
Bloom's framework addresses three domains of human learning: The cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. We will focus primarily on the most commonly used, the cognitive domain, and its six major categories: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation.
Pedagogy and Andragogy:
We provide some historical context with a review of key theorists from the fields of educational psychology, child development, and adult learning theory. How do we use the lessons from these masters to inform our own approach to training and education? This section provides an overview of the contribution of giants such as Piaget, Vygotsky, Gardner, Rose, and Knowles.
Gagne's Nine events of Instruction
Robert Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction is without question one of the most powerful, scientifically proven frameworks for the design of learning events. It provides step-by-step guidance that is universally relevant, simple to follow, and can be used in any context for any audience. The framework identifies nine key instructional events to address when sequencing content to maximize learning effectiveness.
The ARCS model of Motivation
ARCS is a highly effective instructional model developed by John Keller, focusing on learner motivation. It has been proven that audience motivation is a key to the learning, retention, recall, and transfer of information and concepts. For that reason, the ARCS model is an essential tool in your arsenal when developing training and education solutions that are impactful and lasting over time.
Cognitive Load Theory
Originating in the fields of cognitive psychology and information processing, John Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) demonstrates that a learner's working memory is only capable of holding a limited amount of information at any one time. The implications for how we design effective learning are huge. This means that instructional methods should avoid overloading the learner's workload in order to maximize learning. CLT is particularly powerful when we apply it to instructional materials, media, and multimedia.
Why you should Attend:
Whether in the corporate, education, or governmental sectors, those of us responsible for learning & development face increasing pressures to achieve better results in less time and with fewer resources.
Rapid growth, changes in learner profiles and expectations, and accelerated adoption of new technologies can make education and professional development feel like a moving target. On top of that, there is increasing focus on measurable results and performance metrics.
Succeeding in this environment requires the application of systematic, proven, and evidence-based solutions.to the delivery of instruction. It is imperative that we and our teams deliver learning events that are reliably effective, regardless of the changing conditions and contexts we are faced with.
At the same time, we must ensure that we're up to speed with the latest contributions the science of learning has to offer when it comes to applying new technologies in the training and education arena.
