Following the review of all 3 Wikis completed within Task 10 of Week 3 I have completed the table below:
Behaviourism
Cognitivism
Constuctivism
Strengths
Strong scientific controls that allows for precise measurements in learning.
Reliability due to scientific approach.
Can be used to provide solutions to problems such as phobias.
Active learning that is enjoyable and sociable.
Participatory.
Inclusive.
Inspiring and motivational.
Organised in achievable/digestible chunks of learning in a structured plan.
Allows learner to create and test their own theories to embed learning.
Social Learning.
Ability to adapt to meet the individual learning preference.
Weaknesses
Does not account for human need or how they make sense of the learning.
Transferrable ability of learning (real-life context).
No consideration for social learning.
Morally – too emphasised on the mechanics of learning and not considering the ‘human’ need.
Potential to overload information.
Some inflexibility to adapt to what has already been processed and learnt when looking at later sections of learning.
Various learning outcomes due to the various learning avenues selected by the learner which can then make it hard to measure for success
How do they assist the understanding of eLearning?
Helps to create a base of objectives and key measurements to be able to analyse the success of learning
(I.e. define objectives; break info into small chunks; measure learner’s performance against objectives).
Present material in more than 1 way to facilitate learning from short to long-term.
Give learners opportunity to revisit topics to strengthen retention.
Chunk materials into groups or categories.
Give range of pathways and more than anything encourage the learner to review and select resources suitable for their learning goals.
Encourage social learning through communications with other learners.
