Conditions of Learning (Robert Gagne)

Gagnes Nine levels of learning is another Learning model that helps recognise a learner’s progression. It also encourages learners to produce the best outcomes individually. The theory is also known as Gagnes Taxonomy of learning.
Gagne suggests that learning tasks for intellectual skills can be organized in a hierarchy according to complexity: stimulus recognition, response generation, procedure following, use of terminology, discriminations, concept formation, rule application, and problem solving.
Level 1: Gaining Attention (Reception) Start the learning experience by gaining the attention of your audience. This change in stimulus alerts the group that learning will soon take place.
1. Level 2: Informing Learners of the Objective (Expectancy
  1. Level 3: Stimulating Recall of Prior Learning (Retrieval)
    1. 4. Presenting the stimulus (selective perception
2. 5. Providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)
  1. 7. Providing feedback (reinforcement)
    1. 8. Assessing performance Retreival
      1. 9. Enhancing retention and transfer (generalization
Principles of Gagnes Theory; Different instruction is required for different learning outcomes. 1. Events of learning operate on the learner in ways that constitute the conditions of learning. 2. The specific operations that constitute instructional events are different for each different type of learning outcome. 3. Learning hierarchies define what intellectual skills are to be learned and a sequence of instruction.
Each level of learning helps provide a 'Checklist' that helps to identify and ensure that students have received a beneficial and successful learning experience. "Each step is designed to help your learners understand and retain information effectively". Also as well as retaining this information the steps are used to form communication that then aids the Learning process.
