Main Page: Terms that Describe Vocabulary of Learning and Its Uses
Definition: 1. a A social construct. b Descriptions of social variables and their relationships used to account for changes in social interaction commonly called learning.
2. a A system of observable social patterns people use to learn; to which sights, sounds, and other sensations a learner likely attends and in which sequence in order to add a new or alter an existing social pattern. b. A system of choices that learners make as they learn from among a hierarchy of likely optional sensations. c. Those experimental empirical behavioral and social science research findings that describe choices learners make to learn. d. Those patterns people observe to say that learning is or has occurred, regardless of how it happened.
Synonyms: SOCIAL ROLE OF LEARNER account for social actions that result in changes in social interaction patterns.
Antonyms: NONLEARNER and CANNOT LEARN refers to social interaction that remains constant.
Not Relevant: COGNITION emphasizes inferred mental activity, itself an inference from observing social activity of people ranging from electrical-chemical brain activity to repeated, predictable gross motor activity.
Highlights: Social processes of learning rely on people who do something that others may observe. Behavioral and social scientists have observed and reported a series (system) of choices that learners likely make while learning, that is changing their social patterns. Learning does not appear to occur without this series.
