Behaviorists believe that learning occurs when behaviors are reinforced or punished. 

This learning theory is appropriate for both adult and student learners because it focuses on external stimuli and rewards. Rewards and punishments motivate students to learn and it helps adults modify their behavior in a new environment. ]]> 2023-05-09 14:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583941859 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583945230 This learning theory is specific for adult learners. Andragogy emphasizes the self-directed and problem centered approach of adult learners. This theory believes that adults are motivated to learn by the desire to solve problems and apply their learning in practical situations. 

This learning theory is specific to adult learners and acknowledges that adults have unique learning needs and characteristics that are different from those of children. ]]> 2023-05-09 14:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583945230 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583979177 This learning theory emphasizes the role of the learner in constructing their own knowledge through active engagement with the learning materials. Constructivism says that learning is a process of building mental models that allow the learner to make sense of the world around them. 

Both adult and student learners are suited for this learning theory because it acknowledges the importance of learners' prior knowledge and experiences in shaping their understanding of new information. Constructivism can be useful in adult learner contexts where learners have a wealth of prior experiences and knowledge that can be leveraged in the learning process. ]]> 2023-05-09 15:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583979177 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583984204 Coaches can use behaviorism to motivate learners by providing rewards and positive reinforcement for effort. Gamification is huge in education. This works well for both students and adult learners. Coaches can use aspects of game based learning to create leaderboards that track the progress of the learner. Coaches can also award badges that teachers can display in their email signature or outside their classrooms. These techniques can help motivate learners to engage with the technology and achieve their learning goals. ]]> 2023-05-09 15:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583984204 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583989402 Since andragogy relates specifically to adult learners, it can be quite easy for technology coaches to apply this learning theory. A technology coach can apply andragogy by providing learners with self-directed and problem-centered learning opportunities. A coach can work with a teacher and offer them the opportunity to choose their own learning goals and create personalized learning plans that reflect their interested and needs. The coach can also work the teacher to implement technology into their classroom in a coteaching situation. This allows teachers to see a digital skill being taught and can ask questions and relate it to their own practice when necessary. ]]> 2023-05-09 15:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583989402 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583993388 A technology coach can help their learners build their own mental models of the technology they are learning. For example, the coach can provide learners with interactive simulations or virtual labs that allow them to explore and experiment with the technology in a safe and controlled environment. The coach can also encourage learners to share their own experiences and perspectives with the technology, and facilitate collaborative learning activities that allow learners to build knowledge together. This can help learners construct their own understanding of the technology and integrate it into their existing knowledge and experience. ]]> 2023-05-09 15:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583993388 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583998891 Two similarities when instructing students and guiding peer teachers with instructional practices as a technology coach are:

1. Focusing on the Learners' Needs and Goals
It does not matter who you are working with, student or adult, a technology coach should be focusing on the needs of the learner. Based on the needs, the coach can then create goals that are tailored to the learner. A technology coach must take into account the learners' prior experience and knowledge, as well as their learning styles and preferences.

2. Evidence Based Practices
Evidence based practices should be utilized by a technology coach and teachers. No matter if you are a coach working with adult learners, or a teacher working with students, lessons and activities should be designed using evidence based practices. Coaches and teachers both need to rely on research to ensure the instructional practices are effective and aligned with the learners' needs and goals. ]]> 2023-05-09 15:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2583998891 annamarianole https://padlet.com/annamarianole/fktzttcogqrm0i7d/wish/2584116712 Two differences when instructing students an guiding peer teachers with instructional practices as a technology coach are:

1. Prior Knowledge and Experience
A technology coach can assume that the teachers they work with will have some kind of prior knowledge before working together. Sometimes when teachers are working with students, their prior knowledge of a topic can be nothing, meaning the content is completely new to the students. Because prior knowledge can be higher when working with adult learners, the instructional practices may need to be more advanced or specialized, and it may require a different level of scaffolding and support.

2. Different Goals and Outcomes
The goals and outcomes of instructional practices may differ when working with students versus adult learners. With students, teachers are focused on developing knew skills that they can use throughout the rest of their lives. Tech coaches, however, work with adult learners to advance their skills and help them use new tools to make their teaching more effective.
