What Will You Learn?

• Students will be able to:
• Names and discuss the major categories of variables that have been studied in educational psychology in an attempt to answer the question "Why do some students learn more than others?" and arrange these in the form of a model of the teaching/ learning process.
• define learning and compare and contrast the factors that behavioural, cognitive, humanistic, and social cognitive theorists believe influence the learning process, giving specific examples of how these principles could be used in adult learning.
• compare and contrast the major components and techniques that differentiate instructional methods appropriate for children and youth from those appropriate for adults.
