A Learners’ View (ALV) Is Of Choices On The Straightest And Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life.
Last Edited: January 20, 2019
Purpose: To identify, describe, and codify from a learners’ view the principles and methodologies of choices teachers make during instruction that accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning lessons by learners.
Rationale: To describe the fewest number and kinds of common procedures identified in results of a preliminary qualitative content analysis of experimental behavioral and social science research study reports that teachers manage routinely and that account for learning lessons instructed by teachers.
Strategy: To go from commonalities across experimental science of teaching and learning to principles for classroom instructional practice (instead of from the convention of citing science that supports certain classroom practices).
Status: This is an evolving set of notes to clarify the assumptions, descriptions, and standards used to apply, assess, and offer protocols, tips and other tools for using a learners’ view of instruction as an education tradecraft.
Summary: Experimental scientists and educators simplified the instruction of lessons to the point where social processes convert teaching into learning with a finite number of active (essential) ingredients educators routinely manage.
Conclusion: A Learners’ View (ALV) is to Learning during Instruction as Do-Re-Me is to Music: a finite number and kinds of social interactions between teachers, learners, and subject matter instructed.
Preliminary Notes
Learners inherit the future; learneds rule the past; researchers bridge the past with the future. Teachers apply research reports, so learners can cross that bridge.

Chapter 1: Introduction
When learning is to be, Teachers use ALV (a Learners’ View).
Primer of A Learners’ View of Choices during Teaching and Learning A Learners’ View (ALV) refers to choices people make while learning lessons. These choices do for learning from teaching what musical notes do for singers of songs composed by someone else. Song composers choose sound frequencies to form their compositions. Teachers compose lessons from choices of sound frequencies and other ingredients of daily social life. [Read More]
A Learners’ View (ALV): A Quick Summary ALV identifies relationships among common choices during teaching and learning instructed lessons. These relationships refer to commonalities across more than a century of experimental behavioral and social science research reports of teaching and learning.
Is ALV (a Learners’ View) an Acronym, Description, Model, or Theory? ALV is an acronym for a learners’ view of learning that is distinct from views of teachers, analysts, scientists, theoreticians, and others who try to account for learning lessons instructed by teachers. (Last Edited January 20, 2019)
Depictions of Learning in the Arts and Literature Writers, artists, clowns, song writers, story tellers, troubadors, and other informers and entertainers have depicted how people learn.
Just the Facts A learners’ view (ALV) gives priority to common facts described in research reports of learning by experimental behavioral and social scientists.
Learning and a Learners’ View (ALV) The word learning, from a learners’ view (ALV), represents social processes people use to connect two or more dots that solve one or more problems.
A Learners’ View (ALV) in One Sentence Choices people make while learning during instruction of lessons.
In One Lesson: A Learners’ View (ALV) of Choices during Teaching and Learning When you learn from instruction, you use a learners’ view (ALV) of a path of choices you make during instruction.
A Learners’ View (ALV) not a Learner’s View Distinguishing learning as social processes of choice from conventional inferences from behavior of cognition of individuals.
Seven Fast Facts of a Learners’ View (ALV) ALV gives priority to the how over what is learned.
Teach Like Learners Learn Choose to teach as learners learn.
Meet Ima Learner, a Member of Your Class You know me as Aki, Keisha, Jorge, Ahmed, Kim, and with other names of people in and out of your classes. I personify the minimum (without inference, interpretation, nuance, or decoration) of what is common across more than a century of experimental behavioral and social science research descriptions of learning.
A Letter to Learners You hold a crucial position in education and play a vital part in society.
A Learners’ View (ALV) of School Reform The social purpose of schooling and school reform is to reduce the number of trial-and-errors by learners during lessons, so that all learners learn all lessons consistently.
Keynote to Learning as Social Oxygen Learning is an element of social life that combines with other social elements (of economics, religion, etc.) to form social action beyond that of any of their parts.

Chapter 4: A Learners’ View of Learning
People learn through choices of social processes that connect two dots.
A Learners’ View (ALV) of Learning in a Nutshell Learners make choices through trial-and-errors that solve (connect two dots) one of five generic problems at a time. Teachers show learners choices for efficient ways to connect dots. These ways can accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning promptly and sometimes dramatically. Social life and social change rest on choices like the most accomplished people have made and do make.
A Learners’ View of Learning (ALV) Refers to the least number of common choices (patterns of social actions) learners make as described by experimental behavioral and social scientists in their reports of learning. This view distinguishes ALV as a social process from behavior and cognition of individuals.
Chapter 5: One Step Learning
People learn in one step by connecting two dots.

Chapter 10: What’ Next?
Extrapolating from simple descriptions of teaching and learning.
Forecasts of Education Rapidly increasing uses of a learners’ view (ALV) of learning imbedded in electronic communication devices offered by businesses in the nearer future. In the longer future, society will likely replace routine instruction of lessons by teachers with electronic devices, requiring educators to write software based lessons and ways to manage them. (Incomplete draft)
Forecast for Educators Within the next decade, K12 educators will routinely code software used by learners and today’s administrators will code software that manages those lessons. Non-coders will instruct people who do not use electronic devices. The scale of reach of an individual educator will escalate in a j-curve transforming today’s school teaching cohort to recent memories.
