    Generative Learnimg Theory

    Zaryna Toh
    This document discusses Generative Learning Theory (GLT). GLT suggests that learners must generate their own learning by generating their own problems and then solving them, rather than solving predefined problems. The key aspects of GLT are that it is closely related to constructivism, encourages active engagement and generation of ideas, and involves four elements: recall, integration, organization, and elaboration. GLT can be incorporated into instructional design by having learners use tools like graphic organizers and journals to reorganize their prior knowledge based on new information.

    What is GLT?
    ♦ An environment based theory
    suggesting that, instead of solving a
    pre-defined problem, learners must
    be subjected to generating their own
    learning by:
    – Generating their own problems
    – And then solving them…
    GLT Main Points
    ♦ Theoretical ♦ Practical
    – Closely related to
    constructivism
    – Brainstorm
    – Strategies are similar – Categorize
    to cooperative learning – Team teaching
    – Explore perspectives – Construct mental
    – Build upon prior models/concept
    knowledge
    maps
    – Actively generate ideas
    – 4 Elements: Recall, – Generate sub-
    Integration, problems, sub-goals,
    Organization, and strategies for
    Elaboration achieving a larger
    task
    Key Player in GLT
    Merlin C. Wittrock Wittrock@ucla.edu

    •The reader works not only to make a connection between


    the content being read and his or her prior knowledge.
    •The reader must also reorganize that prior knowledge by
    taking into account the information gained from reading.

    “The generative model is a model of teaching of comprehension


    and the learning of the types of relations that learners must
    construct between stored knowledge, memories of experience, and
    new information for comprehension to occur, Wittrock, 1991.”
    Instructional Design Implications
    ♦ Increases, increases, increases…
    – active engagement in learning
    – comprehension for both high and low ability students
    – achievement without additional time, equipment or
    materials
    – voluntary sustained attention
    – students’ metacognitive skills
    ♦ As long as inform the learners that learning…
    – is a generative process
    – begins with believing in themselves
    ♦ And identify…
    – learners’ models, preconceptions, learning strategies
    and styles, attitudes, beliefs that are relevant
    – learners’ self control strategies (metacognitive)
    GLT Incorporated into the
    Dick and Carey Model

    Which steps? How?


    Designers could incorporate GLT when
    developing their instructional strategies and
    instructional materials.

    This could accomplished with KWL charts,


    graphic organizers, journals and anecdotes.

    multimedia projects.

    Something old, something new…
    ♦ Something Old- Merlin C. Wittrock

    ♦ Something New- learning can happen


    through the direction of a learners own
    cognitive processes
    ♦ Hmmmm….sounds like Constructivism
