Question:
You will be setting the stage to demonstrate your understanding of the psychology of learning and how it can be applied to a real-life scenario by creating a list of learning principles you may want to incorporate into your training module.
Although the Final Paper requires you to apply five principles to your training, that you feel will best meet your diverse learners'' needs, you will include a minimum of seven principles in this assignment that will provide you with options for your final design. The principles you choose may be from the following areas of learning psychology: behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, or humanism. Be sure to review the Final Paper instructions in Week Five for further guidance. You will also include five content areas that you would want to include in a training such as this.
For this assignment, you will be evaluating the different types of learning, which are indicated in the scenario for the final assignment, and then list what content you intend to include in your training, based on their needs.
Your paper must include the following:
An explanation of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Humanism (one to two paragraphs each.) a description of seven areas of content (principles of learning) that you feel are the most important when teaching others about the importance of meeting leaner needs
Will you include information about multiple Intelligences or Emotional Intelligences?
Will you include how scaffolding differs from person to person?
What do you think is the most important?
Demonstrate your understanding of these principles by describing how they are important in creating effective learning.
A description of seven strategies, based on theory, that you will include in your own training module to ensure learning success by the group of individuals you are wanting to train (will you use repetition based on Behaviorism? Will you use motivational rewards based on humanism?).
Analyze how learning and learning theory may affect this situation by listing seven possible strategies you might use in this training scenario and supporting their application through theoretical explanations.
An explanation about why you would use each strategy based on theory and each content matter based on importance (in your opinion).
To complete this successfully, also apply your research skills to this content by synthesizing supporting evidence from at least three scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library that defend these strategies as the best options for your training.
