Week 3, Part 1 - Learning Theories

In your blog, discuss which theory/ies might be most applicable to your instruction and outline a specific activity/assignment/exercise that would facilitate learning according to that theory.

Ok, assumming I'm understanding all the theories correctly (and given I've only spent about 30 minutes with them), I can see how each of the three theories apply to my one-shot library instruction, though I still have questions.
- Behaviorism: leading the students through website links repeatedly to reach the online catalog and/or electronic databases. Having the students search the same word in various ways, as well as using word truncation, to explain the nuances of the catalog/database search limits. Creating citications is pretty much rote memeorization so it would seem to fall in here as well. Using badging/levels in online versions of the one-shot instruction would also fall under behaviorism.
~~Question: how might the idea of requiring "level completion" before moving on to the "next level" affect outcomes.
- Cognitivism: brainstorming appropriate/relevant keywords, creating keyword strings, organizing results by both relevance and chronology.
~~Does the delivery method affect cognitive learning? Surely the pace of the instruction would have some bearing?
- Constructivism: the students analyzing the search results and choosing the most appropriate/relevant results based on the assignment requirements puts the students in an actual real world situation. An extra step I could add would be to have them compare their "best picks" with one or more other students to share, debate, and defend their search strategies and results.

Outline, design, or wireframe that activity in a way that makes sense to you so you will be able to design it more in depth when you have time.
