UNIV 1102 - Learning Frameworks I

Institution:

Tarleton State University

Subject:

Description:

A study of the 1) research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; 2) factors that impact learning; and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned. (NOTE: While traditional study skills courses include some of the same learning strategies - e.g., note-taking, reading, test preparation, etc. - as learning framework courses, the focus of study skills courses is solely or primarily on skill acquisition. Study skills which are not undergirded by scholarly models of the learning process, are not considered college-level and therefore are distinguishable from learning framework courses.)
