PSYC 1200 - Learning Frameworks 2 credit hours. 2 lecture hours.
A study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Student use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned. (Cross-listed as PSYC 1100) Note: (While traditional study skills courses include some of the same learning strategies - e.g., note taking, reading, test preparation, etc. - as learning frameworks courses, the focus of study skills courses is solely or primarily on skill acquisition. Study Skills courses, which are not under-girded by scholarly models of the learning process, are not considered college-level, and, therefore, are distinguishable from Learning Frameworks courses.)
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this semester, through class lectures, videos, discussions, online activities, and a variety of written and other assignments, learners will increase their written and oral communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and develop specific study strategies. Students will complete an individual and a group project.
