Description
John Carroll’s 1963 article, “A model for school learning,” in Teachers College Record has been cited more than 5,100 times. That conceptual model regarding school learning designates a leading role of time in student achievement and degree of learning effectiveness. Carroll looked at the actual time needed for learning and the time actually spent in deriving his learning equations. Fast forward nearly 60 years later to 2021 and researchers are using Carroll’s ideas to design adaptive learning programs and systems for education. In Episode #69, Chuck Dziuban and Patsy Moskal from the University of Central Florida (UCF) will explain the implications of Carroll’s model for education as well as their research studies and findings to date on adaptive learning. Their paper, Adaptive Learning in Psychology: Wayfinding in the Digital Age, was recipient of the of the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) quality research paper award in 2017. Patsy, Chuck, and their colleague Tony Picciano and I have just signed a contract with Taylor and Francis for a book on learning analytics and adaptive learning.
