Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

254
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...

Introduction to Learning01:18

Introduction to Learning

497
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...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

472
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...

Data Collection by Observations

12.3K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

496
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...

Quantitative Analysis01:12

Quantitative Analysis

389
Quantitative analysis is a technique for measuring the amount of specific constituents in a sample. When the sample's composition is unknown, qualitative analysis is performed first to identify its components, which ensures that the correct substances are measured during the quantitative phase.
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Higher Education Studies
  • Data Science in Education

Background:

  • Institutional learning analytics initiatives are increasingly common in higher education.
  • The poem 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe illustrates a cautionary tale of uncontrolled power and unintended consequences.
  • A gap exists in understanding the critical role of faculty involvement in the success of learning analytics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an analogy between 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' and institutional learning analytics.
  • To provide a heuristic for institutions to evaluate their learning analytics initiatives.
  • To advocate for faculty leadership in learning analytics.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative commentary and conceptual analysis.
  • Drawing parallels between the narrative elements of Goethe's poem and common pitfalls in learning analytics implementation.
  • Literature review on faculty involvement in educational technology initiatives.

Main Results:

  • Learning analytics initiatives lacking faculty involvement mirror the uncontrolled magic in 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'.
  • Such initiatives often fail to consider potential hazards and negative outcomes.
  • Faculty engagement is crucial for mitigating risks and ensuring the responsible use of learning analytics.

Conclusions:

  • Institutions risk failure when implementing learning analytics without faculty input, akin to the apprentice's uncontrolled magic.
  • A proactive approach involving faculty leadership is essential for developing effective and safe learning analytics ecosystems.
  • Fostering collaborative environments empowers faculty to guide learning analytics efforts responsibly.
