Something I\u2019ve struggled with throughout my time in the MALAT program is the ability to be concise and brief.\u00a0 <\/span>Narrowing my focus to a just a couple of theoretical frameworks has proven to be another challenge in that respect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My research question is as follows:\u00a0 <\/span>In what ways might microlearning be used in employment contexts to build skills for use at work?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I will also attempt to delve into aspects of motivation, cultural differences and how communities of inquiry can be created<\/em> within my sub questions. <\/span><\/p>\n

This has led me to a few frameworks:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Adult Learning Theory.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m interested in inquiring further into elements such as intrinsic motivation, an assumption that this theory has as being high in adult learners. \u00a0 <\/span>Learning more about best practices when educating and appealing to busy employees with strong sense of purpose and self will also be greatly beneficial to finding approaches to building skills for use at work while at work.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cognitive Load Theory.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ve spent a fair amount of time delving into the intricacies of this theory throughout this program, so can see benefit to using this theory to aid in how activities are built to maximize learning and retention through combinations of text, images and narration in bite sized doses.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Mobile Learning Theory.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a theory that I would really like to dig a bit deeper into, as I can predict that microlearning may often be adapted to mobile type learning.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m particularly interested in how it directs learning to authentic contexts where just in time learning is a goal, as well as participatory and collaborative situations where experienced staff can play a part in the content novice learners are accessing for real uses at work. \u00a0 <\/span>Personalization is also an element of this theory I would like to learn more about. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Any suggestions or perspective from you all is always appreciated. \u00a0 <\/span>A work in progress as usual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
