Class meeting time: See above Course Description: This interdisciplinary course is an in-depth analysis and synthesis of research and theory in meta-cognitions, behaviors, emotional intelligence, values, and motivation as they impact academic learning across disciplines. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, behaviors, emotional intelligence, values, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic perceptions and strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models, by using critical thinking, as the foundation for different thematic approaches across academic disciplines (Cross-listed as PSYC 1300) Required Textbook: On Course Customized 6th ed.—ISBN 1111400156 By: Skip Dowing November 17 is the last day to withdraw with a grade of “W”Learning Goals (Often global in scope, indicates for learners what knowledge, skills, and attitude will be addressed in the course.) To emphasize the use of “Critical Thinking” as a foundation while “Integrating and Applying” the following research and theories “Across Disciplines” - Reflective Autonomous Learners—To become reflective autonomous learners - Meta-Cognitions—To apply meta-cognitive theory to foster academic success - Behavioral Theory: The Applications of Change—To interpret behaviors and to systematically change - The Theory of Motivation—To assess and apply different elements of motivation to his or her drive - Learning Theories—To integrate and apply various learning paradigms - Logic & Ethics—To recognize and develop the capacity to reason ethically - Moral Development Theory and the Impact of Values—To create value driven life guidelines - Information Literacy—To cultivate information literacy and utilize technology More specifically, it is the goal of this course to help students to: - Demonstrate the ability to think and problem solve at four of Bloom’s Taxonomy six levels using: Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, and Analysis (EEO 3, 4, 11, 12) - Integrate and apply various learning paradigms (EEO 1, 3) - Identify and evaluate the value of a college education - Apply different theoretical models of strategic learning - Apply meta-cognitive theories to foster academic success - Identify and exhibit the characteristics of a reflective autonomous learner - The ability to develop self-management strategies to ensure success (EEO 4) - The ability to understand and apply motivational theory (EEO 1, 3, 4) - The ability to demonstrate deductive and inductive reasoning (general information to specific conclusions; and specific information to general) - The ability to interact constructively with diverse populations - The ability to locate and fully utilize available campus resources and technology Specific Student Learning Outcomes (Prescribe what students must demonstrate to successfully complete an assignment/course.) At the completion of this course, Learning Framework’s students should be able: - At the end of the semester, students will be able to Apply meta-cognition to support learning. - At the end of the semester, students will be able to use at least one behavior management theory to assess and improve a hypothetical situation. - At the end of the semester, students will be able to use elements of Bloom's taxonomy to analyze a position on an hypothetical issue.
