| EduClassics.com describes behavior patterns people use to learn and uses of these descriptions to increase contributions of Classic Education in the 21st Century . This page introduces ways to use these patterns to identify the efficiency of learning.
Unit 1 includes a Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP), Stage 1: Learner’s Questions, Stage 2: Pattern Variables of Learning , Stage 3: Confirming Learning, Stage 4: Consequences for Learner, Learning Analysts, Learner as Self-Analyst, Computer Technology as Analyst, Discussion of aLEAP, and Unit 1: Assessment. Learning: a. A word commonly used to refer to cognitive and other inferred processes that preceed changed behavior. b. Sequences of trial-and-error random behavior preceeding the adoption, adaptation, maintenance, and extension of a behavior pattern that others call appropriate for the conditions. c. A survival mechanism. Learning Efficiency: a. The relative rate novices adopt, adapt, and manage vocabulary and logic of behavior patterns (some call them social codes) used by the most informed people in a society. b. The use of fewer trials-and-errors and fewer learner’s resources such as time, effort, and energy to reach a learning criterion for a lesson. c. The power, skill of instruction to reduce waste and other risks of failure a learner encounters in a lesson. Learning Efficiency Analysis: a. Observing behavior patterns of learning and comparing them against each other and against external criteria in order to calculate the relative waste and risks of failure of that process. b. A way to assess costs in time, effort, and tangibles a learner pays for completing a lesson. c. A way to assess the adequacy of instruction and instructional material to yield expected results. a Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP): a. A taxonomy of a behavioral infrastructure of learning as described by empirical experimental behavioral science research results. b. A framework of behavioral science descriptions and relationships among behavior patterns people use to learn. c. A framework of behavior patterns learners use to learn, so others can assess the extent to which lessons promptly increase learning dramatically. |
A Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP) is both a taxonomy and a model of behavioral science research descriptions of what people do to learn. That is, of observable behavior patterns people use to adopt, adapt, manage, and extend what they do.
As a taxonomy, it identifies classes of empirical experimental behavioral research results that describe observable aspects of learning. This provides a reference for teachers the way a Periodic Table of Elements serves chemists.
As a model, aLEAP shows relationships among these descriptions of learning. It arranges empirical experimental behavioral research results to identify the choices of logic and generic behavior pattern people use to learn.
This model provides teachers with indices to monitor systematically during lessons and education software developers with chains of behavior patterns to code for electronic instruction and analysis of learning.
Through aLEAP, this unit summarizes behavior patterns people use to learn to manage information and skills of social codes that the most informed people have known through history.
