Gagne - Conditions of Learning
Example:
A preschool teacher may assign a different color
box to each child, when she asks the students to
put away their materials, they know which box is
theirs even though they cannot yet read their
name on the box.
.
2. Concrete concept -the capacity to identify
objects based on one more of their unique
characteristics such as the shape or color. An
example would be to identify a tomato as a
vegetable or a fruit.
Rule -the capacity to make connections
between concepts and objects. This may
include how to play a game, how to do
division, or how to create a sentence that
includes all necessary parts.
5. Problem-solving: the capacity to
integrate multiple rules to find a
solution.
2. Cognitive strategy
The second type of cognitive skill.
There are few strategies for learning and as
well as for thinking which are also called
metacognitive strategies. Learning
strategies include:
• rehearsal- involves copying and
underlining information or reading it out
loud.
• elaboration- where the students take
notes paraphrases ideas, summarizes
information and answer questions and
• organizing- which includes creating
concept maps and arranging ideas in a
meaningful way.
3. Verbal information
The third category in the cognitive
domain, verbal information, is taught
using different techniques to aid in
memory recall. Using imagery and other
mnemonic strategies helps students
make connections with the information
and remember it more easily. As verbal
information is often a lot of facts, places
and names, the use of learning
strategies is meant to provide cues to
one’s memory. Organizing, elaborating
and rehearsing are all ways to assist in
learning declarative knowledge.
4. Motor skills
The only category in the
psychomotor domain, motor skills are
physical actions that are assessed in
complex performances such as skiing,
dancing, skateboarding, or even writing
with a pencil. These movements are
evaluated on accuracy, smoothness,
speed, or force. Motor skills are also
known as psychomotor skills due to
coordinated response required.
5. Attitude is found in the effective
domain due to its unique state. It is
often challenging to measure attitude,
as each individual must declare their
own thoughts. Self-reported
questionnaire would be an example of
how can assess the attitudes of learners.
Although it is an internal state of mind,
attitude can be observed in one’s own
personal choices or actions.
Gagne’s Principle
1. Different instruction is required
for different learning outcomes.
2. Learning hierarchies define what
intellectual skills are to be learned
and a sequence of instruction.
3. Events of learning operate on
the learner in ways that constitute
the conditions of learning.

Assessing - Pre- and post-tests
Performanc - - oral questioning, short active
e learning activities, or quizzes
– Craft objective, effective rubrics
to assess
- written assignments, projects, or
presentations
- Help learners retain more information
by providing them opportunities to
connect course concepts to potential
real-world applications .
