Catalog description

There are two different versions of this course. The General version provides a current and comprehensive overview of theory and research related to learning. It covers topics such as behaviorism, social cognitive theory, information processing, constructivism, and motivation, and explores applications of learning principles in multiple contexts including classroom and virtual learning environments. The General version is appropriate for students in all areas of graduate study. The Applied Behavior Analysis version of EDP 5003 covers the same broad topics, but includes more of a behavioral focus (e.g., by comparing and contrasting behaviorism with other theoretical approaches to learning). The ABA version is taught by an instructor approved by the Behavior Analysis Certification Board, and thus is appropriate for students pursuing the Board Certified Behavior Analyst credential. Students should check the notes in the class schedule to make sure they are registering for the appropriate section of EDP 5003 . Generally Scheduled Location: Downtown Campus, Internet. Course Fee: GH01 $90; LRH1 $20.54; STSH $30.81.
