Personal Learning Theory

Now you have read about various learning theories, take time to re-reflect on these questions. Have your answers changed? Additionally, look at your Philosophy of Distance Education that you wrote for your philosophy course in this program. Do you need to make any modifications?

What do I believe about the following:
  • How does learning occur?
  • What factors influence learning?
  • How should instruction be structured to facilitate learning?
  • Think about how you learn. When you hear, read, or see something new, does it help to talk about it and reflect on it to better understand the new information? How about research? Does it help to do some active research on this new information?
  • Do these answers differ when you consider web-based teaching and learning?
  • Think about your Christian worldview. How does this impact your view of learning? Do any of the theories discuss stand in opposition to your worldview?
