| Module objectives/intended learning outcomes | Upon completing this course (C), students (A) will be able to design instruction (B) based on behaviorist, cognitive, constructivist, and social learning theories (D)After mastering the behaviorist, cognitive, constructivist, and social learning theories (C), students (A) are able to design STEAMC-based instructional tools integrated with Islamic values (B) in an appropriate and measurable manner (D).After completing the course and engaging in independent and/or collaborative study of credible sources, as well as through case studies and/or project-based learning (C), students (A) are able to accurately (D) identify learning theories embedded in instructional materials and/or teaching practices implemented by a teacher (D) |
| Content | This course is designed to strengthen students’ foundational knowledge and understanding of learning theories that have evolved over time. The course focuses on the exploration of four major groups of learning theories—behaviorist, cognitive, social cognitive, and constructivist—as well as derivative theories developed from these foundations. Through open, responsible, high-quality, and measurable discussions, students will be guided to develop the ability to identify the application of these theories within the context of chemistry education and instruction. The course also emphasizes students’ independence in exploring credible academic sources to support their learning and critical analysis. |
