6. My notes and questions:

• Where does knowledge reside? How do people learn?

• Cognitivism:

  • Cognitivists argued that the way people think impacts their behavior and therefore cannot be a behavior in and of itself. Cognitivists later argued that thinking is so essential to psychology that the study of thinking should become its own field.

  • the knowledge reside in the brain.

  • people learn through thinking and reflecting.

• Constructivism:

  • • people create meaning of the world through a series of individual constructs. Constructs are the different types of filters we choose to place over our realities to change our reality from chaos to order.

    • a learning process which allows a student to experience an environment first-hand, thereby, giving the student reliable, trust-worthy knowledge. The student is required to act upon the environment to both acquire and test new knowledge.

    • the knowledge reside in the meaning we make of our surrounding environment.

    • People learn through experiencial learning from their environment and derive the different constructs that make sense to them.

• Connectivism:

  • • knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of an individual.

    • regards knowledge as existing within systems which are accessed through people participating in activities.

    • a learning theory for the digital age", that appears in Siemens' paper^[1] indicates the emphasis it gives to how technology affects how people live, how they communicate and how they learn.

• What is the link to new media and new media strategies?
