EDUC 1300 - Learning Framework (3 Credit Hours)

Campus Location: BHC, CVC, EFC, ECC, MVC, NLC, RLC

A study of the research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic 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 across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.

Students pursuing an Associate of Arts degree or Associate of Science degree are required to take and complete EDUC 1300 within their first two semesters, a first-year required core course that will contribute to student success by addressing factors that impact learning in college, including:

research and theory in learning, cognition, and motivation
application of strategies to regulate and control cognition, motivation, and behavior
the ability to think critically and ethically

Students will be prohibited from enrolling in their 13^th college-level hour if they have not registered for EDUC 1300.
