Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

690
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Virtual Work

1.6K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Observational Learning

1.5K
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

1.8K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Traditional medical humanities courses face limitations in fostering certain communication skills.
    • The shift to virtual learning presents opportunities to redesign pedagogical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual medical humanities curriculum.
    • To assess the impact of online learning on narrative competency and student engagement.

    Main Methods:

    • A fully online medical humanities course was implemented in both 15-week and 5-week formats.
    • The course focused on narrative competency, empathy, and ethical dilemma discussions.

    Main Results:

    • Students in the virtual format demonstrated increased investment in course content.
    • Online delivery fostered greater openness in communication and critical engagement with peers.
    • Improvements were noted in addressing narrative-based dilemmas, including empathy and non-judgment.

    Conclusions:

    • Virtual medical humanities curricula can effectively enhance essential communication and narrative skills.
    • Online platforms offer a valuable alternative for developing empathy and critical thinking in medical education.
