• Jean Piaget, says: "... but for me and no one else, education means making creators... You have to make inventors, innovators—not conformists" (Bringuier, 1980, p. 132).

Concepts of learning theories

• Behaviorism• Collaborative learning• Cooperative learning• Project based learning• Cognitivism• Learning style• Constructivism• Connectivism


4

Behaviorism

• Behaviourism (coming from psychology- John B. Watson; B.F. Skinner) is a learning process which is built on repetition and confirmation. The teacher transmits the learning material, the student memorizes, repeats and writes it. Behaviourism was the leading learning method for most of the past century.– teacher-led classrooms

• Praise • Correct• "teacher" is the dominant - complete control, evaluation


5

Collaborative learning

involves groups of learners working together • solve a problem, • complete a task, • create a product. It is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act. Learning occurs though active engagement among peers, either face-to-face or onlineasking one another for information, evaluating one another’s ideas, monitoring one another’s work

L. Vygotsky


6

• Collaborative Networked learning • Computer-supported collaborative learning

(CSCL)• Learning Management System


7

Cooperative learning

• In cooperative learning the task is divided vertically (i.e., members work more or less concurrently on different aspects of a project),


8

Project based learning (PBL)• greater depth of understanding of

concepts, • broader knowledge base,• improved communication and

interpersonal/social skills, • enhanced leadership skills, • increased creativity, • improved writing skills.

John Dewey initially promoted the idea of "learning by doing.„ In My Pedagogical Creed (1897)


9

Project based learning (PBL)

• Interdisciplinary • Student-centered• Engage students in investigation• Should rely on their previous knowledge• Apply what they know• High quality, collaborative product• Acquire „skills” cant be taught from a

textbookProblems: Social loafing


10

Comprehensive Project-based Learning

• is organized around an open-ended driving question or challenge.

• creates a need to know essential content and skills.• requires inquiry to learn and/or create something new.• requires critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and

various forms of communication, often known as "21st Century Skills."[http://www.bie.org/about/21st_century_skills]

• allows some degree of student choice.• incorporates feedback and revision.• results in a publicly presented product or performance.[

11

Learning Style

• Learning Style Theory presumes that students learn in different ways. David Kolb in his work detected that there are four different learning styles (feeling, watching, thinking, doing) and the best way to improve our knowledge is using the learning style which suits us best (Smith and Doyle et al. 2007). This theory is supported by Howard Gardner’s study about multiple intelligence: his assumption proposes that different kinds of intelligence exists in human beings (Allen, Seaman et al. 2007), so they can acquire knowledge in different ways.


12

Constructivist

• New types of learning methods, like Bruner’s constructivist (Bruner, 1967) theory, made it necessary that the traditional educational methods completely needed to be reformed. His theory affirms that learning is an active process and that students construct new ideas through their own knowledge. In this process, the students are able to select information, form hypothesis and make decisions. On the other hand, the teacher has a different role. Teachers have to transform lesson resources into a form that the students can understand and encourage them to gain experiences on their own and engage the student in dialogue. Using Bruner’s method the teacher should design the curriculum in a way that it builds on what the students have already known and makes a progress and development with the students’ active work in new fields (Smith 2002).


13

Constructivist

• Under the influence of the constructivist theories of Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner, Papert developed his constructionist theory (Sefton-Green 2004). His idea is that the teacher is not to teach the students; instead of this the teacher becomes a mediator of studying. Students construct understanding and draw their own conclusion through creative experimentation.


14

Connectivism• The learning theory for the digital age is

connectivism which is used in computer science and it is based on the hypothesis that knowledge does not exist in the head of an individual person but it is present in the world (Siemens 2005). This new paradigm revived the disciplines like “Activity theory” and “Distributed cognition” consider knowledge to exist within systems which are accessed through people participating in activities.

• Active learning• Learning by teaching (The one who does

the talking, does the learning" )• ……….


16

Example

• Introduction to GIS• GIS Analyses• Mobile and WebGIS at Obuda University


17

This kind of subject can aid those learning principles where the students are in the centre. Some characteristics of the classes are:• Active learning against passive,• The autonomy of the students,• Assuring extracurricular learning,• The connection among students are equal, the teacher acts

rather like a mentor.• the teacher gives some technical details to aid the students in

acquiring basics skills (software), but the students have the freedom to form the sequence of their study. Namely, if they are more interested in certain particulars, they have a chance to learn it in details.

• PBL: (teaching plan)– Geodatabase design,– Data acquisition,– Processing of the collected data,– Control of the accuracy of the data,– Analysis of the data,– Querying of the data,– Publication of the data.

Noise measuerements in Sopron

• Normal day and evening rush hours were selected in order to identify normal and maximum noise level of the city (from 10 am to 1 pm (normal level), from 5 pm to 7 pm (maximum level)) in working days

• • Tourist map was used to plan and follow measurement points• • Mobile phone with noise measurement application was used

to measure noise • • Trimble Juno SB handheld GPS was used to identify

coordinates of measured points and record noise data• • Double measurement carried out for normal and rush hours at

the same points (around 300 points)• • Files imported to ArcMap 10.2 and spatial interpolation

techniques were used to make a mapESRI Felhasználói Konferencia, 2015

• SITE SELECTION• Data base design

Steps:• Define the goal of the database• To name the layers• To define the layers• To insert source map• Thematic digitalisation of map• Uploading attrbute data

• Steps:• What is the goal of the database– Parcel – Data:• parcel• buildingl• Electricity network• meter

Steps:• Naming of the layers

Name of the layer

Type Attribute Type of attributes

Subtype Domain (length

parcel

buildings

Electricity lines

Measurer meter

Steps:• To define the layer– ArcCatalog>>new personal geodatabase– new personal geodatabase>name(pl. Falu)– Feature dataset (PROJECTION)– New feature class• Alias • Geometry• Attribute field• Assign domains
