Definition of Pattern Variables of Learning: a. A hierarchy of generic factors that form behavior patterns people use to learn. b. Generic factors of learning are to learning what genes are to biological cell growth.
Stage 2 of aLEAP (A Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm) consists of Pattern Variables of Learning (PVL).
These patterns describe a succession of behavioral choices people make to learn. It makes explicit those subtle sensory inputs learners use.
that allow teachers to monitor changes in the likelihood of a learner meeting a criterion for a lesson. Measuring a learner’s use of these variables permits forecasting learning of those who use Tablet and other mobile PCs in and out of schools.
Pattern Variables of Learning (PVL) illustrates relationships among four orders of generic choices learners make to adopt new behavior patterns. It shows how one choice relates to others.
These choices form a hierarchy of control over learning efficiency. This hierarchy provides an essential part of the infrastructure of how people learn.
Tablet and other mobile PC developers may use this frame to design software consistent with how people learn in order to increase learning efficiency.
