The "cognitive types of learning" are a composite of taxomomies and theories from by Gagné, Merrill and others. Five families are used to describe the kinds of learning that can take place. Content-specific activities: • Content understanding - learning of domain specific material. Activities may include student explanations, concept map builiding. • Problem solving - processes and strategies engaged to acheive a goal that has no apparent solution, including the trasfer of content-understanding and use of metacognition to the resolution of an unfamiliar problem. Content-independent activities: • Collaboration - learning to work with others, acquiring interpersonal skills, including teamwork (group performance on task) and taskwork (individuals' effectiveness within the group) (Morgan, Salas, & Glickman, 1993) • Communication - learning to express thoughts and ideas effectively, written and/or verbally within the content domain (use appropriate terminology to explain content. • Metacognition - learning to regulate one's cognitive activity through awareness, knowledge of cognitive strategies, planning and self-monitoring. CRESST publishes handbooks for creating assessment materials to assess performance in each of these families. The handbook for assessing content understanding is available as a free sample (PDF) [1]. CRESST is also proposed as a method to analyse the cognitive demands of a technology by evaluating the extent to which each family of learning is activated through the use of a particular technology (Baker, O'Neil, & Klien, 1998).

It also can be found in Merrill's first principles of instruction. • According to Martin Ryder [1], the The 4C-ID instructional model is characterized by four components: (1) Learning Tasks, (2) Supportive Information, (3) Procedural Information and (4) Part-Task Practice. The tasks are ordered by task difficulty and each task offers at the beginning a lot of scaffolding which is reduced as the learner progresses. See also: Elaboration theory (a much earlier model from Reigeluth). The design 4C/ID is what I call a "main-stream" Instructional Design Model that addresses the issue of how to teach complex skills, i.e. solid know-how that can be applied to real problem problems. According to Merriënboer et al. (2002): “ The 4C/ID-model [....] addresses at least three deficits in previous instructional design models. First, the 4C/ID-model focuses on the integration and coordinated performance of task-specific constituent skills rather than on knowledge types, context or presentation-delivery media. Second, the model makes a critical distinction between supportive information and required just-in-time (JIT) information (the latter specifies the performance required, not only the type of knowledge required). And third, traditional models use either part-task or whole-task practice; the 4C/IDmodel recommends a mixture where part-task practice supports very complex, "whole-task" learning.” According to Merrill (2002:56), the model is clearly problem-based although not in the sense of typical problem-based learning models. “ At the heart of this training strategy is whole-task practice, in which more and more complex versions of the whole complex cognitive skill are practiced. In ... the analysis phase ... the skill is decomposed in a hierarchy of constituent skills; ... classified as recurrent constituent skills, which require more-or-less consistent performance over problem situations, or nonrecurrent constituent skills, which require highly variable performance over situations" (p. 8). "While learners practice simple to complex versions of a whole task, instructional methods that promote just-intime information presentation are used to support the recurrent aspects of the whole task while, at the same time, instructional methods that promote elaboration are used to support the non-recurrent aspects of the task" (p. 10).” 4C/ID 3 The four components are described in detail in Merrienboer (2002) [2] and from which this picture is taken: Some features of 4C/ID This section are made from notes taken during a van Merriënboer keynote talk on March 14 2013 [3]. 4C/ID can be described as a method that will describe the backbone of a curriculum where each element is connected and does have a function with respect to the whole. It addresses two problems: • Students can't apply "knowledge" • Students and life-long learners are not self-directed learners There is research-based evidence that transfer is improved when using a 4C/ID design. Learning tasks Create a "spiraled2 sequence of tasks, based on induction • Provide variability in each task • Provide task classes i.e. sequences of easy to difficult tasks. Each task should be meaningful right from the start. Make sure to offer several variants for each class, i.e. a series of task that address the same learning outcomes at same difficulty level. • Provide guidance: Scaffolding should be provided in each task. However, for task set, define a Zone of proximal development using a sawtooth pattern: First task in a class uses a lot of support, last task in a class should have no support. If learners are successful, then move them to a higher level. • Typical learning technologies for task support: Simulated/real task environments and development portfolios 4C/ID 4 Supportive information Is information that helps learnings getting the

  • Challenges of Business Simulation Games — a New Approach of Teaching Business
    Chapter 10 Challenges of Business Simulation Games — A New Approach of Teaching Business Andrej Jerman Blažič and Franc Novak Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/61242 Abstract Serious games are part of the new emerging world of education environment that is based on sophisticated technology with elements of entertainment. They have been seen as good supplements for supporting the learning processes due to their capability to in‐ crease visualisations and challenge the student creativity. They have the potential to sig‐ nificantly improve training and education activities and initiatives. As a part of serious computer games, business simulation games support training and learning focused on the management of economic processes. They have been proven to be useful in empower‐ ing and mediating learning business content. This chapter addresses the simulation busi‐ ness games used in the educational process by analysing selected popular games regarding their properties that are considered as important in the learning process. The first part presents a short introduction in the field of business games and the approach used in selection of the studied games. The next part provides a review of related articles and brief overview of the state of the art that has guided the selection of business simula‐ tion games to be analysed and assessed. The game parameters used in the assessment have been defined and described. The analysis and the assessment report are followed with brief concluding remarks. Keywords: Serious Games, Business Simulation Games, E-Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Education 1. Introduction Digital games have the potential to change the landscape of education as we know it.

  • Black Feminist Thought
    Praise for the first edition of Black Feminist Thought “The book argues convincingly that black feminists be given, in the words immor- talized by Aretha Franklin, a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T....Those with an appetite for scholarese will find the book delicious.” —Black Enterprise “With the publication of Black Feminist Thought, black feminism has moved to a new level. Collins’ work sets a standard for the discussion of black women’s lives, experiences, and thought that demands rigorous attention to the complexity of these experiences and an exploration of a multiplicity of responses.” —Women’s Review of Books “Patricia Hill Collins’ new work [is] a marvelous and engaging account of the social construction of black feminist thought. Historically grounded, making excellent use of oral history, interviews, music, poetry, fiction, and scholarly literature, Hill pro- poses to illuminate black women’s standpoint. .Those already familiar with black women’s history and literature will find this book a rich and satisfying analysis. Those who are not well acquainted with this body of work will find Collins’ book an accessible and absorbing first encounter with excerpts from many works, inviting fuller engagement. As an overview, this book would make an excellent text in women’s studies, ethnic studies, and African-American studies courses, especially at the upper-division and graduate levels. As a meditation on the deeper implications of feminist epistemology and sociological practice, Patricia Hill Collins has given us a particular gift.” —Signs “Patricia Hill Collins has done the impossible. She has written a book on black feminist thought that combines the theory with the most immediate in feminist practice.

  • Design Models and Learning Theories for Adults
    Chapter 11 Design Models and Learning Theories for Adults Darryl L. Sink In This Chapter Defne ISD models. Learn how to expand ISD models to meet current delivery systems. Understand how learning theories infuence instructional design. hen an organization needs training solutions, the instructional designer must un- W derstand the business and individual needs that underlie the training initiative. This requires defining the business drivers for training program development and the organiza- tional results needed or desired. Once the designer has taken that critical first step, instructional design models and learning theories enter the picture to provide a systematic approach (or plan) for crafting effective and efficient training solutions that meet organizational and individual needs. These plans are referred to as instructional systems design (ISD) models. Learning theories and the strategies and tactics (that is, lesson designs) derived from ISD models can help practitioners develop optimal instructional designs for learning—designs that support the learners as they acquire the knowledge, skills, experience, and motivation needed to produce results for themselves and their organizations. 181 © 2014 American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) Section III: Designing and Developing Effective Learning The design phase of ISD models is the point where learning theories and their resulting strategies and tactics primarily come into play. This chapter will discuss ISD with emphasis on two popular approaches: ADDIE and the Dick and Carey model. It will focus on learn- ing theories and their influence on the ISD model design phase. ISD Models ISD models are based on the systems approach; the output from one model phase provides the input for the next phase.

    THE IMPACT OF VIRTUAL REALITY-BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT DESIGN FEATURES ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS A Dissertation by ZAHIRA HUSSEINALI MERCHANT Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, Ernest Goetz Committee Members, Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt Oi-man Kwok Lauren Cifuentes Trina. J. Davis Head of Department, Victor Willson December 2012 Major Subject: Educational Technology Copyright 2012 Zahira Husseinali Merchant ABSTRACT Virtual reality-based instruction such as virtual worlds, games, and simulations are becoming very popular in K-12 and higher education. Three manuscripts that report the results of investigations of these increasingly prevalent instructional media were developed for this dissertation. The purpose of the first study, a meta-analysis, was to analyze the instructional effectiveness of virtual reality-based instruction when compared to the traditional methods of instruction. In addition, this study also explored selected instructional design features of the virtual learning environment that moderated the relationship between instructional method and the academic achievements. Analyses of 63 experimental or quasi-experimental studies that studied learning outcomes of virtual reality-based instruction in K-12 or higher education settings yielded a mean effect size of g = 0.47 (SE = 0.02) suggesting that virtual reality-based instruction is an effective medium of delivering instruction. Further analyses examined factors that influence its effectiveness. The purpose of the second study was to examine a model of the impact of a 3-D desktop virtual reality environment on the learner characteristics (i.e.

Their development has been tied with advances in computer science, and nowadays, hundreds of simulation games exist. However, simulation games are not just useful for encouraging disciplinary knowledge production; they also promise to be effective tools for interdisciplinary collaboration. To further explore these promises, we report on the design and playing of a simulation game on the boundary of geoinformatics and business and economics; an interdisciplinary field we have termed Spationomy. Within this game, students from different disciplinary (and cultural) backgrounds applied their knowledge and skills to tackle interdisciplinary problems. In this paper, we also analyze students’ feedback on the game Citation: Pászto, V.; Pánek, J.; Glas, to complement this aspect.

PUB DATE 95 NOTE 16p.; In: Proceedings of the 1995 Annual National Convention of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), (17th, Anaheim, CA, 1995); see IR 017 139. PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Decision Making; Educational Environment; Instructional Improvement; *Learner Controlled Instruction; Learning Processes; Learning Strategies; *Learning Theories; Student Characteristics; Student Motivation; *Teacher Role ABSTRACT This study develops a prescriptive theory of learner control for educators to support the learner's decision making in the learning process and to manage more efficiently their instructional processes. The theoretical framework of learner control in conjunction with the self-regulation of learning, learner characteristics, and learner motivation may make educators and instructional designers understand why it may be effective to allow learners to have some control over the learning process. It is assumed that the development of an instructional theory for learner control would answer some needs of the information society. This theory would facilitate educations' new roles by providing practical guidelines for more effective instructional management. The major questions of the study considered important factors for empowering learners and the functional relationship among these factors; learners' decision making roles and the educator's role in supporting the learning process; and when learner-controlled strategies are recommended. The results are composed of two descriptive conceptual models and a prescriptive instructional theory for learner control which includes four instructional models.
