Mayer is most known for the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning. The theory presents the idea individuals learn greater from words and pictures, than from words alone. Meyers research found that there are two channels, auditory and visual, for information processing. These channels offer limited capacity to process presented information. The information is selected cognitively through a process. This process consists of the learner selecting, organizing, filtering, and integrating the most important information. ]]> 2018-07-16 19:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270335352 Word Cloud Richard Mayer veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270336202 2018-07-16 20:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270336202 Albert Bandura veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270336432 The originator of the Social Learning Theory, Bandura completed research that contributed to both psychology and education. The Social Learning Theory, later updated to the Social Cognitive Theory consisted of research focusing on how we learn through observations. Bandura's findings showed cognitive processes determine if learning will take place. The processes that must occur are attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation]]> 2018-07-16 20:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270336432 Word Cloud: Albert Bandura veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270338893 2018-07-16 20:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270338893 Edward Thorndike veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270339099 Edward Thorndike was a pioneer of learning theory and behaviorism that provided the groundwork for B.F. Skinner's Theory of Operant Conditioning. His theory of learning consisted of laws. The Law of Excercise is based on use and disuse of information. a connection must be made and information must be used to retain information. The Law of Readiness states individuals have to be prepared to learn. They must accept or reject the information. Lastly, the Law of Effect says connection to information will be made when the learner is satisfied, but also notes a dissatisfied learner makes a weak or no connection at all. ]]> 2018-07-16 20:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270339099 Word Cloud: Edward Thorndike veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270340279 2018-07-16 21:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270340279 MindMap veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270341368 2018-07-16 21:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270341368 Conclusion veaon_harris https://padlet.com/veaon_harris/pd3flp6vo7t7/wish/270343672 After the completion of readings on Bandura, Mayer, and Thorndike I found a few similarities across their theories. The initial similarity I discovered was learning being influenced by observations. Each theorist focused on observations and its effect on behaviors. Individuals could be influenced by media observed (Mayer’s Theory), social observations (Bandura’s Theory), and positive/negative reinforcement (Thorndike’s Laws). Another similarity between theorist would be the processing of information. There work emphasized the process of learning only information or behaviors they find worthy. Once the information is presented it’s sorted to use or disuse. During the readings the differences between the theorists were most evident. One difference was being behaviorist or cognitive based approach. The multimedia learning theory differed from others due to its focus on memory and its role in processing information.Lastly information on positive reinforcement for the social learning theory and Thorndike’s Law were present, but lacking in the multimedia theory. Each of these theories provide the framework for designing effective and meaningful content for 21st century learning. The 21st century framework provides a guide to ensure students are prepared for life. The approach to ensuring students are prepared should still be based on learning theories. The students and content have changed, but until new research says differently we should continue to design and present content as the theories suggest.
