Learning and Technology
On Day 4 of Learning and Technology, students will explore how their worldviews and beliefs about learning influence instructional practices. Through discussion and evaluation of key educational theories (CTGV, Mayer, Reiser) and multimedia resources, participants will assess learning goals, motivation techniques, and the support for learner autonomy and metacognition. The session aims to deepen understanding of these concepts through critical questions and theoretical grounding, ultimately guiding improvements to computer-based instruction and the effective use of technology.

Day 4A Goal: Students develop an understanding of the relationship between world view, beliefs about learning and instruction, and the instruction that actually takes place. Materials: Powerpoint Readings for preparation: Driscoll chpts 1 & 9; Datnow & Castellano Procedure: Pose question, what determines what instruction will be like? Theories of learning World view Lesson plans, etc. Consider our framework Instructional, motivational, assessment theories, methods, strategies

Evaluate • What are the learning goals that are intended here? • Which article is (Mayer, CTGV, Reiser) most relevant? Why? • What learning theory underlies this lesson? • What motivation techniques are used? • How is learner control and autonomy supported? • What metacognitive supports are provided? • Given the aligned theoretical grounding and drawing on the articles that you read, what improvements might be made to this CBI?

When/why use technology? • Behaviorist • Social learning theory • Cognitive information processing • Cognitive-constructivism • Socio-cultural-constructivism • Situated cognition
Method/media debate • Is it the method that matters or the media through which with the instruction is delivered that makes the difference?
