It ventures into some of the main theorists and their respective theories- Ivan Pavlov and classical conditioning, John Watson and the Little Albert experiment (which would definitely NOT be considered ethical today) and B.F. Skinner and operant conditioning. These theorist and their experiments helped develop the behaviorist learning theory. ]]> 2023-03-13 01:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513590815 kmcwatters95 https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513597103 The "Cognitivism Learning Theory" YouTube video gives an overview of Cognitivism, which developed as a reaction to behaviorist and goes on to describe some of the differences between cognitivist and behaviorist. The video features some of the fundamental concepts of cognitivism like knowledge being symbolic mental constructs or schemata and that learning is the processing of organizing information into conceptualized models. ]]> 2023-03-13 01:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513597103 kmcwatters95 https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513605707 The "What is Constructivism" YouTube video gives a great overview of what constructivism is and how everyone's individual experiences make their learning unique to them. I enjoyed the way this video because it also highlights the importance of understanding constructivism as an educator- each student will bring their own unique experiences into the learning environment. The video also highlights 8 specific elements and principles that shape how the theory works.]]> 2023-03-13 01:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513605707 kmcwatters95 https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513620180 This article by Sharon Boller begins as defense of gamification based on a Twitter exchange that happened as a result of a study. The article then goes on to speak about how to use gamification effectively in learning and highlights 5 tips for bringing gamification into learning- one tip that really stood out to me was "Reward players for performance, not completion" which I believe really speaks to the behaviorist learning theory!]]> 2023-03-13 01:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513620180 kmcwatters95 https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513630157 For the overview of Connectivism I choose to do a reading instead of a video. I thought this reading gave a great overview of the history of Connectivism, the explanations of "Nodes" and "Links" as well as highlighting the 8 principles of Connectivism. This reading also talks about Connectivism within the classroom (think things like social media, gamification, and simulations). ]]> 2023-03-13 01:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513630157 kmcwatters95 https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513638130 This article written by Alexander Salas for The Learning Guild was written a few years ago now, but I thought the emphasis on how microlearning is actually "cognitive overload reduction" was very interesting! I also like that it highlighted that microlearning isn't always the solution but can be really effective when paired with formal instruction. ]]> 2023-03-13 02:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcwatters95/251h0gexis255ztx/wish/2513638130
