Behaviorism • Many psychologists in the 1900s used these theories to describe and experiment that is parallel to human learning.
Live Action • In the 1920s live theater came about, it was under examination on how useful and if it had any influence on learning
Can you hear me now? • the 1930s teaching by radio was being used.
Learn quick! • US WWII (1939-1945) training of soldiers through training films and other mediated materials. Soldiers had to learn material quick and efficient.
Best of both worlds • Around the 1940s, both film and radio were the major forms of communication, providing both entertainment and information to the average citizen.
Getting rewarded • Skinners (1950s) work led to "programmed instruction" focusing on the formulation of behavioral objectives, breaking instructional content into small units and rewarding correct responses early and often. Advocating a mastery approach to learning based on his taxonomy of intellectual behaviors
Something new • Skinner's (1954) work with teaching machines and programmed learning gave professionals in the field a psychological base for education
Making it clear • Skinner's work in behavioral psychology, popularized by Mager (1961), brought a new and apparently more respectable rationale for the field of Educational Technology
Cognitivism • Cognitive theories look beyond behavior to explain brain-based learning. Cognitivists consider how human memory works to promote learning. • Early 1960s
Let me show you • Lumsdaine (1964) illustrated the relationship of behavioral psychology to the field
Learning through environment • Bruner (1966) offered new insights that eventually led to broader participation of cognitive psychologists • “children as they grow must acquire a way of representing the "recurrent regularities" in their environment. “
Let us sum it up for you • Wiman and Meierhenry (1969) edited the first major work that summarized the relationship of learning psychology to the emerging field of instructional technology
New form of learning • The 1980s and 1990s produced a variety of schools that can be put under the umbrella of the label Computer-based learning (CBL). Frequently based on constructivist and cognitivist learning theories, these environments focused on teaching both abstract and domain-specific problem solving
Constructivism • A learning theory of educational philosophy that many educators began to consider in the 1990s. One of the primary tenets of this philosophy is that learners construct their own meaning from new information, as they interact with reality or others with different perspectives.
Mixing it up • The 2000s emergence of multiple mobile and ubiquitous technologies gave a new impulse to situated learning theories favoring learning-in-context scenarios. Some literature uses the concept of integrated learning to describe blended learning scenarios that integrate both school and authentic (e.g., workplace) settings
