Part A-

You will be setting the stage to demonstrate your understanding of the psychology of learning and how it can be applied to a real-life scenario by creating a list of learning principles you may want to incorporate into your training module.

Although the Final Paper requires you to apply five principles to your training, that you feel will best meet your diverse learners' needs, you will include a minimum of seven principles in this assignment that will provide you with options for your final design. The principles you choose may be from the following areas of learning psychology: behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, or humanism. Be sure to review the Final Paper instructions in Week Five for further guidance. You will also include five content areas that you would want to include in a training such as this.

For this assignment, you will be evaluating the different types of learning, which are indicated in the scenario for the final assignment, and then list what content you intend to include in your training, based on their needs.

Your paper must include the following:

• an explanation of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Humanism (one to two paragraphs each.)
• a description of seven areas of content (principles of learning) that you feel are the most important when teaching others about the importance of meeting leaner needs
  • Will you include information about multiple Intelligences or Emotional Intelligences?
  • Will you include how scaffolding differs from person to person?
  • What do you think is the most important?
  • Demonstrate your understanding of these principles by describing how they are important in creating effective learning.
• a description of seven strategies, based on theory, that you will include in your own training module to ensure learning success by the group of individuals you are wanting to train (will you use repetition based on Behaviorism? Will you use motivational rewards based on humanism?).
  • Analyze how learning and learning theory may affect this situation by listing seven possible strategies you might use in this training scenario and supporting their application through theoretical explanations.
  • an explanation about why you would use each strategy based on theory and each content matter based on importance (in your opinion).

Part B-

You are one of many training specialists in your company. You have been asked to design a training module for managers on how to meet the learning needs of their departmental employees. Meet the employees. The all have different needs. You will need to decide on these needs first.

The title of the training will be "The Importance of Understanding Your Learners' Needs".

If your proposal is chosen as the training module for the company, you will be granted a substantial bonus and a raise. Woohoo! But you have to get the job first.

For the written portion of your final assignment, you will create a training module design that includes five strategic principles that you will apply in the training to assist your own training module in being successful, and a minimum of five principles of learning that you want to "teach" to your group of managers. You will base your choices on the hypothetical group of managers that you want to train. These principles may include any theoretical elements that have been introduced to you in the course. Examples of principles from these areas are provided below:

Behaviorism - repetition, reinforcement (feedback), association, and classical and operant conditioning

Cognitivism - assimilation, accommodation, the information processing model, and intellectual stimulation

Constructivism - scaffolding, metacognition, problem-solving and inquiry-based learning

Humanism - holism, personal agency, and motivation
