Principles of Instruction and Learning

I learned the three theories of learning and instruction, factors affecting human learning, youth through adult, with implications for the design and management of instruction.

Knowledge Base

This final KB includes Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Social Learning sections with 4 components each and a front page that demonstrates my understanding of the relationships among the learning theories and their respective instructional design theories. It also contains a graphic representation that acts as the framework for understanding and navigating my KB.

Final Thought
Paper

This is a 4 page thought paper with a graphic that demonstrates the relationships among these theories. It consists of my perspective on learning theories and instructional theories, explanation of the theory resonates with my thinking and best describes my learning, and the argument why the other two theories do not.

My Experience

I built my own models of these theories representing my understanding of what they are, how they relate to each other, and how the instructional designer applies these theories into practice. This model is referred to as a knowledge base (KB). It was one of the projects I really enjoyed working on and even thought of adding to my top 5, but the fact that it is included in the menu bar and can easily be located on my portfolio, I decided to choose another project instead. The video sessions in this course and the teaching strategies that the professor implement (group activities) really made me enjoy learning the materials. At first, it was overwhelming to create a website from scratch, not to mention that I had to create numerous infographics and think of a learning scenario and different observation checklists. But, I enjoy designing so much that it felt like I was just doing it as a hobby.
