Theme: Value of a learners’ view (ALV) to education and society.

A LEARNERS’ VIEW (ALV) OF LEARNING ADDS VALUE to education and society in three ways.

First, ALV demonstrates how learning occurs through social processes without reference to cognition, motivation, and other personal attributes commonly ascribed. Social processes change choices people make to solve problems. Descriptions of social processes of learning are grounded in results of research conducted by experimental behavioral and social scientists over more than a century. ALV adds an image of teaching and learning different from conventional images of learning. Educators may use ALV in ways likely to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning without referring to cognition, personal interests, cultural differences, and other theories and inferences.

Second, common parts across these descriptions form a map of choices that teachers and learners make when learning accelerates, increases, and deepens through lessons. A learners’ view and the ALV Path refer to these commonalities. Teachers may use this map to instruct lessons that learners will more likely learn.

Third, ALV indicates more efficient data based ways for educators to fulfill their great social commission to make available to all members of society what the most accomplished members do and have contributed to society. Fulfilling this commission adds choices that members of society may use, including to address social problems resulting from the probable rationing by educators of life chances of people who fail to learn all school lessons.
