PSYC 1300 - Learning Framework +

Semester Hours: 3 | Lecture Hours: 3 | Laboratory Hours: 0
A study of the 1) research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; 2) factors that impact learning; and 3) 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. (A student may NOT earn credit for both EDUC 1300 and PSYC-1300)
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 courses, which are not under-girded by scholarly models of the learning process, are not considered college-level, and, therefore, are distinguishable from Learning Framework courses.
