A Learners’ View (ALV) is the Straightest and Fastest Path with the Least Number of Steps to Learning, the Oxygen Of Social Life. A Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP): A Step Toward an Automatic Learning Efficiency Analysis Software ProgramA Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP) illustrates a sequence of behavior patterns people use to learn. Observers may use aLEAP to assess learning in real time with and without software for a mobile PC. AN INCOMPLETE DRAFT. See TABLET PC EDUCATION BLOG for previous iterations. A Learning Efficiency Analysis Paradigm (aLEAP) is a map of observable behavior patterns people use to learn. Experimental empirical behavioral and social scientists have reported descriptions of these patterns for more than a century. The map illustrates relationships among their research findings. Learning occurs in one step. To reach that one step, learners use random trials-and-errors to identify a path among two questions and three conditions during four stages with five processes, and 12 choice points to obtain a personal benefit from a lesson. The more trials-and-errors the learner uses the lower the likelihood of meeting a criterion for learning a lesson. Conversely, the fewer trials-and-errors, the more likely learners will learn the lesson efficiently. aLEAP offers ways to analyze the efficiency of learning by individuals and aggregates during a lesson. This map also permits calculating risks of failure a learner encounters and the likelihood of meeting each criterion for learning a lesson. Instructors may increase rates of learning by using aLEAP to adjust lessons for learners to complete efficiently. Behavioral scientists have demonstrated the validity and reliability of ways for instructors to do so.
