100
This theory posits that learning consists of predictable responses to prescribed stimuli, and teaching consists of providing positive or negative reinforcement for learner reactions.
What is Behaviorism?
100
This traditional 5-phase design model is used to plan, create, and deliver instruction.
What is ADDIE?
100
This option in a multiple choice test question is one of the inferior or incorrect responses.
What is a distractor?
100
Teachers use the "4 S's" to design problem solving activities for small groups: choose the SAME, SIGNIFICANT problem where all groups SIMULTANEOUSLY determine their SINGLE group decision.
What is team-based learning?
100
This general term encompasses digitally-delivered instruction consisting of self-navigated content with programmed feedback and/or self-assessment.
What is e-Learning?
200
This theory is based on the expectation that learners make their own meaning and knowledge based on past and present experiences instead of passive reception of information.
What is Constructivism?
200
This lesson planning framework begins with the question "What do you want students to be able to do as a result of this activity?", shifting the focus away from content coverage and toward demonstration of competence.
What is "Backwards Design"?
200
This refers to activities used during instruction to determine whether a student is achieving the goals of the lesson, unit, or course.
What is formative assessment?
200
This method shifts the context of independent and group learning activities, such that information acquisition is performed by students prior to group instruction, which consists of interactive exercises, projects, or discussions.
What is a "Flipped" classroom?
200
This is the practice of periodically "posting" informal or conversational content in reverse chronological order to document individual reflection on a theme or a variety of topics, using a web page organized in a diary format.
What is blogging?
300
This concept initially formulated by Vygotsky is defined as the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help.
What is the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)?
300
This design document describes the 'learning trajectory' for a unit of instruction.
What is a lesson plan?
300
This term refers to activities used at the conclusion of an instruction to determine whether and to what degree students have learned what was expected.
What is summative assessment?
300
This collaborative instructional strategy makes use of the expertise of one or more students in a cohort to enhance the learning of more novice students.
What is peer-mediated instruction?
300
This is a collaborative web site designed to allow multiple users to create and edit content dynamically, with varying models of editorial control.
What is a wiki?
400
This learning theory presents a framework for adult education, which is presented as qualitatively different from pedagogy (child education).
What is Andragogy?
400
Learning objectives in this type of teaching are comprised of a statement of performance, the conditions for that performance, and a description of what constitutes acceptable performance to meet a specific learning goal.
What is criterion-referenced instruction?
400
This refers to a process for examining performance on individual test components to improve their quality in terms of validity and reliability.
What is item analysis?
400
This learning tool provides a framework for structuring key concepts, assisting in the connection between what is already known and what needs to be learned.
What is an advance organizer?
400
This principle of multimedia content design indicates that learners integrate words and pictures more easily when the words are presented as sounds, not images.
What is the "split attention" effect?
500
Downes and Siemens propose this learning theory to account for complex learning among individuals in digital environments.
What is Connectivism?
500
This classic learning model from the 1950's reformulated by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2001 classifies learning objectives as a progressive hierarchy of cognitive skills.
What is Bloom's Taxonomy?
500
This term refers to activities used to determine a student's prior knowledge and skills in order to identify current gaps and misunderstanding to be addressed in upcoming instruction.
What is diagnostic assessment?
500
This scenario-driven narrative framework is incorporated in a variety of instructional methods to introduce specific problems to practice critical thinking and clinical judgment.
What is case-based instruction?
500
This mechanism for administering and delivering instructional content provides an online "virtual" space to supplement the physical classroom in a blended learning environment.
What is a learning management system (LMS)?
