What Does Learning Theories Tell Us ?
• The Unified Learning Model (ULM)
![Page 4: Bojan Lazarevic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493831ab47959962d8b56df/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

General Rules of Learning
• Rule 1. New Learning Requires Attention: “Teaching and instruction are about getting learners to attend things”
• Devices should be able to directing learners’ attention.• Asking questions is a good method to direct attention
to a specific point.
![Page 5: Bojan Lazarevic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493831ab47959962d8b56df/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

General Rules of Learning
• Rule 2. Learning Requires Repetition: “Teaching needs to include retrieving and for skills, practice”
• Teachers should build statements in questions according to learners existing knowledge. This will lead retrieving previous knowledge of learning as well as using it in variety of situations.
![Page 6: Bojan Lazarevic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493831ab47959962d8b56df/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

General Rules of Learning
• Rule 3. Learning Is About Connections: “Effective teaching and instruction are about insuring that learners are attending proper connections”
• Teachers should give opportunity to test the validity of learners existing connections.
• Analysis questions are good for this purpose.

General Rules of Learning
• Rule 4. Some Learning is Effortless; Some Requires Effort: “Since school is about deliberately learning specific information and skills, learning in school will be difficult (needs effort)”.
• In class interactions are important but not the only way of flexible discovery of knowledge.
![Page 8: Bojan Lazarevic](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493831ab47959962d8b56df/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

General Rules of Learning
• Rule 5. Learning is Learning: “At the level of neuron, human learning is human learning, the only difference comes from previous experiences. What we already know impacts what we can learn next or more easily”
• The learner is unique in personality so we may build on his experiences to bring him a mastery level. (Personal learning).
• It is important to keep track of learners activities (such as his responses into data base for further analysis)
