Module 4

For each of the three Learning Theory topics that follow, brainstorm instructional design considerations specific to your selected business/organization and the identified learning and learner needs from your need's assessment. Make sure to cite sources as appropriate.

Theory Instructional Design Considerations for your Business/Organization

Basic Theories of Learning: Behaviorism, Cognitivism & Constructivism, and Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Behaviorism: Involves where the trainer or

teacher observes the learner and the measurable

behavior then guiding to optimize the Learning.

Behaviorism can be used in Tesla Inc's

company, where trainees' behaviors are

OTL520: Assignments Template

examined, and they get the necessary guidance

on effective Learning.

Cognitivism focuses on understanding the

learning process of a student and how the

information learned is received, stored, and

arranged. In the tesla company, the instruction

giver will find ways to ensure the learning

environment supports learning to ensure the

information is well received.

Constructivism: It equalizes learning by

creating meaning from skill where the mind

interprets the input and interprets it in its way.

This can be used by trainers in the Tesla

company to ensure the learners gain much

experience, which is hard to erase from the

mind.

Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:

These needs include safety, social, esteem,

psychological, and self-actualization. Humans

need to meet these needs to produce their full

potential in their work; hence the trainers in the

tesla company need to reach these needs for the

trainers to work effectively.

Malcom Knowles' Adult Learning (or Andragogy)

Malcolm, an American educator, suggested that

andragogy is any system of adult education. It

OTL520: Assignments Template

makes the learner understand that the reason

for Learning is to attain their goals, to meet

their needs, and be orderly. This could be

effective in the tesla company as the learners

know that Learning is for their benefit.

Individual Characteristics of Learning: Motivation, Goals, Experience, Culture and Generational Differences

Motivation in instructional design is an

important tool that ensures instructions are

analyzed well hence followed effectively.

Goals of an instructional design are necessary

as it makes accessible and makes the learner

meet the anticipated goal.

Experience in instructional design is effective

because it helps notice any performance gaps

of the targeted people, and this experience

helps to close the gap.

Cultural differences in the instructional

design should be paid attention to and avoided

to ensure the necessary practices are always in

order.

Generational differences are common in any

working environment, and it should not be a

cause of the downfall of a company as it should

help once the people concerned help each other

Module 5 For each of the Individual Learning Preference topics that follow, brainstorm instructional design considerations specific to your selected business/organization and the identified learner needs from your need's assessment.

Theory/Model Instructional Design Considerations for your Business/Organization

David Kolb's Four Basic Learning Styles

David Kolb states that Learning involves the

process of Learning and acquiring abstract

concepts that can be applied flexibly within a

range of situations.

Kolb's experimental learning theory is

represented in a four-stage cycle comprising of

concrete experience, Reflective observation of

the new experience, Abstract conceptualization,

and Active experimentation (Burke, 2020).

This theory can be implemented in the tesla Inc

organization, to address the various learner

needs, such as how to eradicate large

dealerships.

Ned Hermann's Brain-based Approach

Ned's theory comprises a four-quadrant model

containing cognitive preferences and a

questionnaire referred to as the Herrmann Brain

Dominance Instrument (HBDI). The HBDI

instrument is based on the FACT that one part

of the brain dominates over the others.

This Model illustrates that a human being's

brain is made up of four quadrants (2 parts on

the left and the other two parts on the right)

OTL520: Assignments Template

when it comes to the Thinking and Learning

process. These parts include the left cerebral

hemisphere, the right cerebral hemisphere, left

the limbic system, and the right limbic system

(Zare, Seifi, & Faghih, 2019).

The theory explains that brain dominance leads

to different thinking styles and preferences,

which impacts people's attention depending on

how they can learn fast.

This theory can be implemented in Tesla Inc's

organization to address the performance needs

with the response to the outcomes.

Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK) Model

VAK is a model developed by psychologists in

the early 1920s to classify the most common

ways that human beings learn. The VAK model

uses three main sensory receivers to determine

a person's most preferred learning style.

The three main sensory receivers include

vision, Kinesthetic, and Auditory. Vision

learning style represents seeing and ready,

Auditory style represents listening and

speaking skills, and kinesthetic style represents

doing and touching (Hardiana & Suyata, 2018).

The VOK model can implement the learner

needs of the Tesla Inc organization, who

OTL520: Assignments Template

mostly composed of employees working in the

organization. The Model can help identify the

best people suited to carry out the

responsibilities or tasks assigned to them by

their supervisors.

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

Howard's theory of multiple intelligences gives

a suggestion or a proposal that human beings

are not born with all the intelligence they will

have in their lives. To expand his theory of

intelligence, Howard moves further to suggest

that there are eight different types of

intelligence, which consist of Linguistic,

Spatial, Logical/Mathematical, Naturalistic,

Bodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, and

Intrapersonal. Howard also notes that the most

valued intelligence types are linguistic and

Logical/mathematical intelligence (Cavas &

Cavas, 2020).

Howard's Multiple intelligence theory can be

implemented in the Tesla Inc organization to

address employees' performance needs looking

at the outcomes of their inputs.
