Which word describes a characteristic of instructional design, regardless of the delivery mode or platform? - ANSWER Iterative 2. What is human-centered learning design? - ANSWER An approach to problem-solving that starts with the people you are designing for and ends with new solutions that are designed to suit their needs. 3. What is understanding by design? - ANSWER A planning process and structure to guide curriculum, assessment, and instruction that focuses on teaching and assessing for understanding and learning transfer 4. Which phase of ADDIE is the learning designer planning for? - ANSWER Development 5. Understanding by design - ANSWER A learning designer is developing a corporate-level course on workplace communication. After articulating the enduring understandings and goals for the course, learning designers determine that learners will demonstrate their understanding by successful completion of a communication improvement plan. Now they are working on developing the learning activities that will scaffold up to that final product. 6. ADDIE & SAM big difference - ANSWER Addie is closer to the systematic side and SAM is closer to the iterative side. 7. Which process ADDIE? SAM? OR UbD? - ANSWER A learning designer is creating a course for college-level instructors who will be using a new online learning platform. Time is limited, so after evaluating the instructional problem and creating goals and objectives, they have developed a working model to gain user feedback earlier in the process. This user feedback, acquired quickly and early, will inform the learning designer of needed modifications. 8. How does Understanding by Design (UbD) benefit learners? - ANSWER By putting the focus on the goal and learner success in demonstrating understanding 9. What is design thinking? - ANSWER A design methodology that provides a solution-based, human-centric approach to solving problems. 10. What is the Behaviorist approach - ANSWER Mainly used with children Behaviorists view learning as a change in behavior that can be supported by external stimuli, such as question-and-response activities, repetitive drills, reinforcement, and/or consequences. 11. Behavioral theories imply that the job of the teacher/designer is to? - ANSWER (1) determine which cues can elicit the desired responses; (2) arrange practice situations in which prompts are paired with the target stimuli that initially have no eliciting power but which will be expected to elicit the responses in the "natural" (performance) setting; and (3) arrange environmental conditions so that students can make the correct responses in the presence of those target stimuli and receive reinforcement for those responses 12. Cognitivism shift - ANSWER shift from a behavioral orientation (where the emphasis is on promoting a student's overt performance by the manipulation of stimulus material) to a cognitive orientation (where the emphasis is on promoting mental processing) 13. Cognitivism - ANSWER problem solving, critical thinking, etc. The learner is viewed as a very active participant in the learning process. 14. How are behaviorism and cognitivism similar and different? - ANSWER Behaviorism & Cognitivism are similar in that they both require corrective feedback, environmental factors, explanations, illustrations, etc. This two are different in that, cognitivism requires more mental and the student to be an active learner. 15. Cognitivist Approach - ANSWER the focus is on mental processing rather than on reinforcement of desired behaviors 16. Constructivist Approach - ANSWER the learner and the social environment determine how learning occurs and what is learned. The learner is considered to have much more control over the learning experience in the constructivist view. 17. Connectivist Approach - ANSWER Connectivism is based on the theory that we learn when we make connections, or "links," between various "nodes" (others with knowledge) of information, and we continue to make and maintain connections to form knowledge. Also heavy use of tech. 18. Behaviorism, Connectevism, Constructivism, and Cognitivism differences - ANSWER Connectivism- conceptualizes the learner as an active builder of knowledge through the process of combining knowledge and information from different sources. Behaviorism- the learner is a passive receiver of information that is influenced by external influence: both positive and negative reinforcement. Cognitivism- conceptualized learners as processors of information. Constructivism- people learn new things through experience. It understands the learner as an active creator of new information through discovery. 19. mastery Learning Approaches - ANSWER competency-based education (CBE), proficiency-based learning, and performance-based learning 20. Ways to integrate mastery learning into design - ANSWER mini checkpoints and assessment that gives feedback self-paced allowed multiple attempts on graded assignments formative and summative assessmenets feedback points learners back to relevant instruction 21. What are the 6 principles of Andragogy? - ANSWER Principle 1: Need for Knowledge- Adults need to know why they need to know something- the value of the new experience? Principle 2: Adults have a need to be self directing Principle 3: Learners experience- what the adult already knows Principle 4: Readiness/Willingness to learn- adults taking a parenting class when pregnant Principle 5: Orientation to learning Principle 6: Motivation of adult learners are more intrinsic 22. What are the three theories of adult learning? - ANSWER Andragogy- self directed, transformational. and experimental 23. Self-directed - ANSWER SDL can be difficult for adults with low-level literacy skills who may lack independence, confidence, internal motivation, or resources. Concrete Experience Reflective Observation Abstract Conceptualization Active Experimentation 24. Transformational - ANSWER earning that changes the way individuals think about themselves and their world, and that involves a shift of consciousness. Identification of a Dilema or a Crises Establishment of Personal Relevance Critical Reflection 25. What is Bloom's Taxonomy? - ANSWER Objectives- toolbox to classify and organize learning objectives. Easy to difficult. 26. List and explain the 6 steps of Bloom's Taxonomy - ANSWER Remember- memorization without much understanding Understand- decode information Apply- Apply knowledge in a meaningful way Annalyze- Examining and breaking down information into components. Evaluate- Analyze, critique and compare Create-Now that we know we can create using all of our knowledge 27. What are the steps to Finks Taxonomy- The Taxonomy of Significant Learning - ANSWER Foundational Knowledge: Understanding and remembering- Information and ideas Special Value- Basic understanding that is necessary for other learning Application: This familiar kind of learning occurs when students learn how to engage in some new kind of action, which may be intellectual, physical, social, etc. Special Value: Application learning allows other kinds of learning to become useful. Integration: hen students are able to see and understand the connections between different things, an important kind of learning has occurred. Human Dimension: This kind of learning informs students about the human significance of what they are learning. Caring: Sometimes a learning experience changes' the degree to which students care about something. This may be reflected in the form of new feelings, interests, and/or values. Learning How to Learn: This occurs when students learn something about the process of learning itself. They may be learning how to be a better student, how to engage in a particular kind of inquiry 28. What is Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction? What are the steps? - ANSWER Mental conditions for leaning. Used with Bloom's Taxonomy (Suggestion). Gain attention of the students Inform the students of the objectives Stimulate recall of prior learning Present the content Provide learning guidance Elicit Performance Provide feedback Assess performance Enhance retention and transfer
