PSYC 1100 - Learning Framework

1 semester hour
1 hour lecture, 0 hours lab

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 of 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 thus become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.
