Learners Deep learning

Two Types of Learning:  relating new material to what students already

know and understand
1. Deep Learning – examining new facts and ideas  allowing students to make mistakes without
critically tying them into existing cognitive penalty and rewarding effort
structures and making numerous links between  being consistent and fair in assessing declared
ideas. “connection sa buhay” intended learning outcomes, hence establishing
2. Surface Learning – accepting new facts and trust
ideas uncritically and attempting to store them
as isolated and unconnected items. Surface learning
Deep Learning Surface Learning  convey in disinterest or even a negative attitude
Looking for meaning Relying on route to the material
learning  presenting material so that it can be perceived as
Focusing on the central Receiving information a series of unrelated facts and ideas
argument or concepts passively  rushing to cover too much material
needed to solve a problem  emphasizing coverage at the expense of depth
Interacting actively Failing to distinguish  having a short assessment cycle

examples
Distinguishing between Learning Styles/Cognitive Styles
argument and evidence
Making connections Treating parts of - habitual manner in which learners receive and
between different modules modules and programs perceive info., process it, understand it, value it,
separately store it and recall it
Relating new to previous Not recognizing new - the way a person processes, internalizes studies,
knowledge materials building on interprets and changes new and challenging
previous work materials
Linking course content to Seeing content simply as
real life material to be learnt for
Memletic Learning Style - recognizes that each of us
the exam
prefers to learn in different ways such as visual, logical,
social, aural, verbal, physical, solitary

seeking out new ideas, and discovering practical
applications for them
- can focus intently on selected subjects

Dunn and Dunn Learning Style - most people can learn,
and each individual has his own unique ways of mastering
new and difficult subject matter
