Applying learning theories and instructional design models for effective instruction. (2016, background): “Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism are the three primary learning theories (6, 8, 43).”
Methods and tools for exploring novice compilation behaviour (2006, background): “By identifying and understanding the behaviour of novices learning to program, we hope to build up to later making sound cognitive and constructivist inquiries and recommendations[7].”
Universal Design for Learning: Guidelines for Accessible Online Instruction (2018, background): “From an instructional design perspective, “[m]any of the basic assumptions and characteristics of behaviorism are imbedded in current instructional design practices” (Ertmer & Newby, 1993, p. 8).”
A systematic review of immersive virtual reality applications for higher education: Design elements, lessons learned, and research agenda (2020, background): “Cognitive strategies such as schematic organization, analogical reasoning, and algorithmic problem solving will fit learning tasks requiring an increased level of processing, e.g. classifications, rule or procedural executions (Ertmer & Newby, 1993) and be supported by digital media (Dede, 2008).”
Connecting Cognitive Development and Constructivism: Implications from Theory for Instruction and Assessment (2004, background): “Many principles of learning from the behavioristic and cognitive paradigms have proven quite valuable (Cooper, 1993; Ertmer & Newby, 1993) and should not be completely abandoned in a continuing search for better methods of guiding student learning.”
Social media marketing: Comparative effect of advertisement sources (2017, background): “Behavioural learning theory (Bloch and Marsha, 1983; Ertmer and Newby, 1993; Nord and Peter, 1980) has explained that consumers learn from the intended meaning of the statement.”
Examining the effects of the flipped model of instruction on student engagement and performance in the secondary mathematics classroom: An action research study (2013, background): “Students are expected to learn the facts and concepts by rote and practice the attendant skills until they can demonstrate their mastery on certain tests (Ertmer & Newby, 1993).”
