9. Chapter 39 _____10. Man is a social animal; he cannot flourish and grow without identifying himself with some group. _____11. Some of life’s greatest satisfactions are found in working cooperatively with others. _____12. Individuals do not really fulfill their human potentials unless they involve themselves deeply in some group. _____13.

27. Chapter 327 Summary of Gagné’s Eight Learning Types – Part 1 of 4 Learning Type Description 1.Signal learningLearning a general response to a specific signal. Pavlov’s classical conditioning falls into this category. 2.Stimulus–response (S–R) Learning a single response to a stimulus situation. Basic forms of operant conditioning fall into this category. 3.ShapingChaining together of two or more S–R associations. Originally termed chaining by Gagné, the text calls it shaping to avoid confusion.

28. Chapter 328 Summary of Gagné’s Eight Learning Types – Part 2 of 4 Learning Type Description 4. Verbal associationA chain of two or more verbal associations. Basically the same as shaping, but the application to language makes this a special case. 5. Multiple discrimination Making different but appropriate responses to stimuli that differ to greater or lesser degrees.

29. Chapter 329 Summary of Gagné’s Eight Learning Types – Part 3 of 4 Learning Type Description 7. Principle learningLearning to chain two or more concepts by developing a formal, logical relation between the concepts (e.g., “if A then B” formulation). 6. Concept learningTypically called generalization learning. Learning to make a common response to a group of stimuli having common characteristics or relationships but otherwise differing to greater or lesser degrees.

30. Chapter 330 Summary of Gagné’s Eight Learning Types – Part 4 of 4 Learning Type Description 8. Problem solvingLearning to combine two or more previously learned principles to produce a novel (to the learner) capability reflecting a higher-order principle.

35. Chapter 335 Gagne-Briggs Nine Events of Instruction – Part 1 of 2 Instructional Event It gets the trainee to: 1. Gaining attentionFocus on trainer 2. Informing the trainee of Goal (objective) Begin focusing on the goal 3. Stimulating recall of prior knowledge (learning) Bring prior learning into working memory 4. Presenting the materialSelectively perceive important parts of training 5. Providing learning guidanceTo consider how the training fits into her overall schema, and facilitate retrieval

36. Chapter 336 Gagne-Briggs Nine Events of Instruction – Part 2 of 2 Instructional EventIt gets the trainee to: 6. Eliciting the performanceDo it (practice) 7. Providing feedbackPerform effectively by reinforcing correct responses and assisting when incorrect 8. Assessing performanceEngage in a number of similar activities to determine how well she has mastered the learning 9. Enhancing retention and transferEngage in more complex and varied examples of the concept(s) and assess the success

37. Chapter 337 Example of a Lesson in Problem Solving – Part 1 of 5 Learning objective: Given a drawing of a plot of land, the student will generate a plan for a sprinkler system that will cover at least 90% of the land, using the least amount of materials (PVC pipe and sprinkler heads). EventMediaPrescription 1.Gaining attention Live instruction and overhead projector Rapidly show pictures of sprinkler coverage of a plot of land that has highly successful (90%) and one of unsuccessful (70%) coverage, and one using too many sprinkler heads, inviting attention to their differences. 2.Inform the learner of the objective SameThe problem: Design the most efficient sprinkler system covering at least 90% of the ground using the least amount of pipe and sprinkler heads.

38. Chapter 338 Example of a Lesson in Problem Solving – Part 2 of 5 EventMediaPrescription 3.Stimulate recall of requisites Overhead projector Ask the learners recall applicable rules. Since the sprinkler heads they will use spray in circles and partial circles, rules to be recalled are the area of :(1) a circle, (2) quarter and half circles, (3) rectanguls, and (4) irregular shapes (intersection of circular arcs with straight sides). 4.Presenting the stimulus material SameRestate the problem in general terms, and then add specific details: 1) rectangular lot 50 by 100 ft; 2) radius of the sprinklers, 5 ft; 3) water source in the center of the lot.

39. Chapter 339 Example of a Lesson in Problem Solving – Part 3 of 5 EventMediaPrescription 5. Providing learning and guidance And 6. Eliciting performance Overhead projector The student will need to design tentative sprinkler layouts, draw them out, and calculate the relative efficiency of each. Guidance may be given by informing the learner of options if rules are not being applied correctly. For example, “Could you get more efficient coverage in the corner by using a quarter-circle sprinkler head?” Or “It looks like you have a lot of overlap; are you allowing for a 10% non-coverage?”.

40. Chapter 340 Example of a Lesson in Problem Solving – Part 4 of 5 EventMediaPrescription 7. Providing feedback Oral review by instructor Confirm good moves, when in a suitable direction. If the learner doesn’t see a possible solution, suggestions may be made. For example, “Why don’t you draw four circles that barely touch, calculate the area, then draw a rectangle around the circles and calculate the area of coverage to see how much you have?” 8. Assessing performance TeacherPresent a different problem using the same type of sprinkler, with different lot shape and size. Check the efficiency of the student’s solution in terms of coverage and amount of materials used.

41. Chapter 341 Example of a Lesson in Problem Solving – Part 5 of 5 EventMediaPrescription 9. Enhancing retention and transfer WorksheetPresent several different problems varying in shape of lot, position of the water source, and area a of sprinkler coverage. Assess the generalizability of student problem solving to these new situations

42. Chapter 342 Exercise In discussion groups of 4 – 6, identify differences among you that would impact the kind of training you would prefer. Use Table 3-7 on p. 108, but don’t limit it to only these characteristics. What accounts for the differences and similarities in your group.

43. Chapter 343 Table 3-7 Instrumentality, desire for immediate applicability of material Skepticism, need for logic, evidence, and examples Resistance to change, fear of unknown or personal consequences of change related to feelings of self-efficacy and locus of control Attention span, amount of time before attentiveness is substantially diminished Expectation level, quality/quantity requirements of training Dominant needs, intrinsic and extrinsic motivators Absorption level, pace expected and can absorb the material Topical interest, personal interest in the material
