Social media is a pervasive force in the lives of 21st century learners. Social media offers a user experience that encourages students to create and share new content while enabling communication unlike any other learning technology. In this paper, we explore how learning with social media could be more effective by leveraging appropriate learning theory and instructional design. We begin with...

The explosion in the number of students taking online courses warrants a deeper understanding of instructor strategies that meet rhetorical and relational goals. Guided by social presence theory and rhetorical and relational goals theory, 329 participants were randomly assigned into one of three manipulated social presence online learning conditions to watch a short lecture. The student percept...

The authors present a preliminary theory of outcome-based learning under uncertainty. We created this theory by integrating social judgment theory and signal detection theory using the system dynamics approach. This integration offers a unique framework to explore the fundamental mechanisms associated with learning dynamics using outcome feedback because it allows the decomposition of the judgm...

The field of Adult Education is rich with general theories learning but limited in terms that inform social movement (SML). Today, there are several conceptualizations SML, little theory development based directly on empirical studies SML. This article aims to present findings from a systematic literature review We collected and identified 69 focusing adult education within movements for this r...

A computotionol theory of primote social intelligence is proposed in which primates represent social situations internally by discrete symbol structures, called scripts. Three well-defined computational operations on scripts are sufficient to support social learning, planning, and prediction. This gives a formal, predictive model with which to analyse how primate social knowledge is acquired, a...

Perceivers’ shared theories about the social world have long featured prominently in social inference research. Here, we investigate how fundamental diVerences in such theories inXuence basic inferential processes. Past work has typically shown that integrating multiple interpretations of behavior during social inference requires cognitive resources. However, three studies that measured or mani...

Social Complexity, Learning and International Political Economy, With Illustrations from the Political Economy of Trade Policy Complexity is an essential element of the political economic environment. This fact implies that ignorance and learning will affect the dynamics of that environment. This paper surveys recent work from decision theory, game theory, and economics that seeks to formalize ...
