Behaviorism Mudderings - 2 views

Would mixing the behaviorist theory with Driscoll's definition of a learning theory give one a theory of learning which involves an observable and persistent change? Is there more or less to it?

  • John Dewey (1939) saw himself within this intellectual tradition. He believed that democratic movements for human liberation were necessary to achieve a fair distribution of political power and an “equitable system of human liberties.”
  • Dewey’s desire to stimulate students to become “agents of curiosity” in a “quest for...the ‘why’ of things,” and his belief that education provides possibility and hope for the future of society. But he believes that these can only be achieved when students are engaged in explicitly critiquing social injustice and actively organizing to challenge oppression.
  • In a Deweyan classroom, the teacher is an expert who is responsible for organizing experiences so that students learn content, social and academic skills, and an appreciation for democratic living.

  • Ertmer and Newby’s five “definitive questions”
  • Driscoll
  • criteria for learning theories
  • how behaviorism helps answer the fifth question as it relates to digital learning: What types of learning are best explained by behaviorism as it relates to learning and knowing in a digital age? Find examples of behaviorist uses of technology on the Web, and include a link to them in your post. 
  • Module 1 Blog Topics (Select One): What are your beliefs about how people learn best? What is the purpose of learning theory in educational technology? What are the critical elements of a learning theory? Did Driscoll and Siemens miss any key questions or criteria? Provide a thoughtful critique of their discussion of learning theory. Critique Siemens’s “metaphors of educators.” Which of these metaphors best describes the role you believe an instructor should take in a digital classroom or workplace? Is there a better metaphor to reflect your view of the role of instructors?
  • Focus on Ertmer and Newby’s five "definitive questions" for learning theories as they relate to the four paradigms discussed and how the role of the educator changes in digital learning. You will apply these questions to each of the theories throughout this course.

How can you overcome the barriers and challenges to help move your workplace forward? How might this help facilitate diversity and globalization in your workplace?
  • One way of knowing which learning theory or theories that are appropriate is to figure out how the learner is going to demonstrate mastery of the topic to you.

  • Donovan et al. (2007) found that certain types of off-task behavior could be misinterpreted as student engagement. Therefore, the integration of one-to-one computing (even in configurations that promote authentic learning) does not necessarily translate into increased student engagement in academic tasks (Donovan et al., 2007)
  • The study conducted by Donovan, Hartley, and Strudler (2007) illustrates that fact that the reality technology’s impact on student achievement and success is often rooted in a complex arrangement of variables. With innovation like one-to-one computing, schools districts need to consideration many things and engage in extensive research, planning, and preparation in order to ensure that the implementation and integration is truly successful.
  • The purpose of this study is to determine if in a self paced learning environment an increase in interaction between student and content as well as between student and student will be sufficient compared to a more traditional learning environment of interaction between student and teacher.
  • In the end it was found that interaction, although highly value, varied in need and desire as well as in relation to success dependent upon the learner, the course, the content, and the types of interaction available.

    Behavioral learning theorists view learning as an extrinsic event which can be observed and measured by others. This is the traditional learning theory in education, the one most researched, peer-reviewed, and most funded in the USA. It stems from the epistemological tradition of objectivism which assumes reality is an outwardly observable event. Melding the behaviorist theory with Driscoll's definition of a learning theory as persistent change as a result of experience, one would get a theory of learning which involves an observable and persistent change. Siemens considered metaphors that involved making connections from four educators. John Seely Brown saw educators as master artists or ateliers who worked with students in a learning studio. Clarence Fisher considered educators to be network administrators who enabled students to form their own learning networks. Curtis Bonk viewed the educator as a concierge who could invite students to partake of possible offerings. George himself thought of educators more like curators or expert learners who set up learning spaces for students. Another possible metaphor is the conductor of a symphony orchestra, where each student is playing a different instrumental part (differentiation), learning the same basic concepts but using different paths. When one plays music, one constructs not only the physical sound, but the phrasing, the mood, and the emphasis of the notes. This is important in constructing the overall sound, or in this case, learning. All these metaphors have to do with learners constructing knowledge. Behaviorism, however, has more to do with teachers writing on "tabulae rasae", sequences of substeps, and rewarding acceptable behavior while punishing unacceptable behavior. Some educational applications of behaviorism in classrooms include contracts, rewards, punishments, reinforcements, and extinction plans. Those are the obvious ones, but shouldn't any student act that has been learned through the student'
