1. Introduction: Some remarks about learning

1.4 The complexity of learning

A: Types of learning (according to Kearsley 1993):

• Attitudes:
  • Disposition or tendency to respond positively or negatively ....

• Factual Information (Memorization):
  • Processing of factual information and remembering .....

• Concepts (Discrimination):
  • Concept learning encompasses learning how to discriminate and categorize things

  • Concept formation is not related to simple recall, it must be constructed.

• Reasoning (Inference, Deduction):
  • thinking activities that involve making or testing inferences, closely related to problem-solving and creative behaviors".

• Procedure Learning:
  • .... being able to solve a certain task by applying a procedure.

• Problem solving:
  • .... involves the identification of subgoals and the use of methods (especially heuristics) to satisfy the subgoals.

• Learning Strategies:
  • .... can be learned to some extent only !

• Sensory-Motor:

B: Cognitive task behaviors (Kearsley)

• Searching for/receiving information (detects, observes, inspects, identifies, reads, surveys)

• Processing information (categorizes, calculates, codes, itemizes, tabulates, translates)

• Problem-solving (analyzes, formulates, estimates, plans)

• Decision-making (examines, chooses, compares, evaluates)

• Communication (advises, answers, directs, informs, instructs, requests, transmits)

• Sensory-motor processes (activates, adjusts, connects, regulates, tracks)
