Week 2 Learning Outcomes

Evaluate real-world factors that determine behavior.

Analyze the different sequence of stages people move through in order to change their behaviors.

Analyze the major phases of learning in order to provide a primary structure for instructional design.

Matching the Stages of Change with Learning Contexts

6 Stages of Change

Learning Contexts as a

means of Change

Performance

Change as a process

We often need to see progress to stay motivated. Regardless of the behavior we are changing, the skill we are learning, how can we stay motivated when progress is not occurring?

What about when we experience set backs? What do you do when you get a grade that is less than you would like? How can you help your students in this situation?

Instructional Contexts

• Including the learner in this phase will help to motivate and invest the learner.

• Contemplation – prepare to change

Pre-Instruction

• Builds on readiness to change• Fits better with the needs of the adult learner to

connect learning and daily activities

Instruction

• Practice early and often to transfer skills and knowledge

• Build transfer aids to help the learner establish the new skills / habits

Performance

The 3 M’s of learning bring the about the most important M – Measurable Results.

M1: Meaningful

M2: Memorable

M3: Motivational

M4: Measurable Results

Meaningful Learning Experiences

How do we create?

Is the learner invested in learning outcomes

personally?

Build on current knowledge and skills

Memorable Learning Experiences

What role can the learner play in

engaging the material?

Will the activities involved create an

impact?

Content, imagery and sustained practice

Motivational Learning Experiences

Learning requires the time, energy and

effort of the learner.

Motivation to learn

Motivation to put the skill / knowledge to

work

Measurable Results

The most important M

Improve Performance

Measure that success

Rory Sutherland – TED Talk

As I pondered the role of behavioral change and learning this week, I considered both the way that we build habits and the way that we motivate others to build new habits. I found this wonderful TED Talk – Rory Sutherland: Sweat the Small Stuff.

Rory Sutherland looks at our reaction to being pushed into a behavior. He explains our reaction to subtle suggestions and our reaction to more forceful big dollar pushes. How does this apply in our instructional design work? How can we help to motivate our students to want to learn?

Enjoy – and have a great week!
