Module 11: Gagne’s Conditions of learning

From the Module on Gagne's Conditions of learning, I realized that there are several different
types or levels of learning. The significance of these classifications is that each different type
requires different types of instruction. The rationale is that in different kinds of knowledge
should be taught in different ways and should therefore be categorized so that the proper method
of instruction can be prescribed. As a future educator we can use the gagne's nine levels of
learning that provide a step-by-step approach to help our students get the most from their
learning opportunities. Each step is designed to help our students understand and retain
information effectively.
Module 12: Ausubel’s Meaningful Verbal learning/ subsumption theory
From the Module on Ausubel theory, I realized that the teacher should strengthening student's
cognitive structure by allowing students to see the “Big picture” of the topic before going to the
details. Ausubel's subsumption theory can give the ability to create a meaningful, connection
between new ideas and pre-existing knowledge. Ausubel’s believes that learning of new
knowledge relies on what is already know. Construction of knowledge begins with our
observation and recognition of events and objects through concepts we already have. Which is
true, that we learn by constructing a network of concepts and adding to them. As a student we
must relate new knowledge to relevant concepts that we already know in order for us to learn
meaningfully.
Module 13: Brunet’s Constructivist theory
From the Module on Bruners Constructivist theory, I realized that the teacher resources used
should be focused on that of encouragement, aiding and allowing the student to uncover the main
principles by their own. It is because the communication between the learner and the teacher is
the key concept. The learners should encompasses the idea of learning as active process wherein
they able to form new ideas based on what their current knowledge is as well as their past
knowledge. The teacher should used the four major principles of Bruner’s theory on
constructivism encompass first the predilection toward learning. The second, how a grouping of
knowledge is able to be constructed to best be understood by the learner. The third is effective
manners for the teacher to present said material to the learner, with the fourth and final aspect
being the progression of rewards as well as punishments. When evaluating study skills of the
child, the teachers be explicit regarding organization, help the learner to focus on the goals,
instead of getting caught on minor details or frustration.
