A Learners’ View (ALV) is the Straightest and Fastest Path with the Least Number of Steps to Learning, the Oxygen Of Social Life.
Definition: a. The subject presented in a lesson as distinct from the form and process of presentation. b. Can be analyzed into distinct parts and then arranged into one or more sequences of behavior pattern(s) so learners can meet learning criterion. c. One of three parts that form the triple-helix of the lesson.
Synonyms: CONTENT OF LEARNING sometimes replaces the phrase lesson content in general conversations about schooling. LESSON emphasizes a precise and skillful presentation of the subject that forms one part of the triple-helix of learning that reduces the number of trials-and-errors learners use to meet the learning criterion. LEARNING demonstrates that a lesson occurred.
Comment: Lesson content consists of the subject of the lesson as distinct from the process of presenting the subject to learners and from a learners’ view of the lesson. Subjects vary according to the purpose of a lesson.
Once distinguished, the subject is separated into parts and then into sequences of parts necessary to reassemble the subject.
Then, both are refined until each part and sequence matches with a behavior pattern the instructor will use in the presentation.
Third, the lesson content and its presentation are again refined until they fit a learners’ view of the lesson.
The number of parts and refinements varies according to the rate of learning the instructor plans for learners.
