Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness01:14

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Associative Learning

1.3K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Purposive Learning

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...

Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

969
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...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

611
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

1.2K
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
In contrast to learned behaviors, unlearned behaviors such as crying, sexual...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • STEM Education
  • Teacher Professional Development

Background:

  • The Learning Assistant (LA) model enhances STEM education outcomes and student persistence.
  • The pedagogical development of LAs is crucial but understudied.
  • This research focuses on how LAs internalize pedagogical principles taught in a dedicated course.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the extent to which first-time LAs adopt the language of essential pedagogical principles.
  • To analyze the development of LAs' understanding of key teaching concepts.
  • To inform the design of effective pedagogy courses for LAs.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a coding scheme based on three essential pedagogical principles.
  • Analyzed weekly teaching reflections from LAs over five course iterations.
  • Assessed LAs' written language use related to pedagogical concepts.

Main Results:

  • LAs showed initial uptake of principles valuing students' prior ideas, with varying depth.
  • LAs demonstrated less language development concerning formative assessment.
  • LAs also showed limited growth in language related to students constructing knowledge.

Conclusions:

  • Connecting pedagogy courses to LAs' STEM backgrounds is critical for effective learning.
  • Accessible pedagogical language enhances LAs' ability to grasp and apply principles.
  • Even limited language development in LAs can positively impact student learning contexts.
