My Intention

Social learning theory (Albert and Bandura, 1963) – humans learn through observations of other individuals.

Self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997) – “people’s judgment of their capabilities to organize and execute courses of action required to attain designated types of performances”

Vgotsky’s Social constructivism - It argues that students can, with help from adults or children who are more advanced, master concepts and ideas that they cannot understand on their own, referred as the zone of proximal development.

Earlier learning models

Connectivism (Siemens, 2004) Premise: “Informal learning is a significant aspect of our

learning experience.” “Learning is a continual process, lasting for a

lifetime.” Many of the processes esp. cognitive processes are

performed with the support of technology. Principles of Connectivism: Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of

opinions. Learning is a process of connecting specialized

nodes or information sources.

EXAMPLE 1

The Rhizome

“There is no beginning or end for the rhizome, it is process as cultural code,

multiple and fractal in nature”. (Bussey, Bjurstrom, & and Sannum, 2010)

There is a need to reexamine how knowledge is viewed,

created or recreated. (Cormier, 2008)

There are limitless ways of generating knowledge because of emerging

technologies. (Attwell, 2006)
