single-loop learning

Examples of single-loop learning in the following topics:

• Productivity: Argyris

  • Argyris's theory of single- and double-loop learning has been applied to management theory to suggest the best ways for employees to learn.
  • Argyris believed that human actions are controlled by environmental variables, which determine the key differences between single-loop and double-loop learning.
  • In single-loop learning, entities (such as individuals, groups, or organizations) modify their actions according to the difference between expected and obtained outcomes.
  • Argyris wrote about the theories of single- and double-loop learning, which determine how people make decisions in difficult situations.
  • Identify Chris Argyris's key contributions to organizational theory through single-loop and double-loop learning

• Torque on a Current Loop: Rectangular and General

  • When a current travels in a loop that is exposed to a magnetic field, that field exerts torque on the loop.
  • In the center is a rectangular wire loop of length l and width w, carrying current I.
  • Also note that this equation of torque is for a single turn.
  • When loop rotates past =0, the torque reverses (d).
  • Identify the general quation for the torque on a loop of any shape

• Other Steps

  • By encoding memories, people develop the capacity to learn from previous experiences, build relationships with others and adapt to changing environments.
  • This is aided by what is known as the phonological loop of working memory.
  • The phonological loop consists of two parts - short-term storage and articulatory rehearsal.
  • Information a person hears enters the short-term store (lasting 1-2 seconds) and transforms into a code that is replayed by the articulatory rehearsal component (hence the loop) until all the sounds are heard and made sense of.
  • Diagram of the phonological loop process, which consists of two parts: short-term storage and articulacy rehearsal.

• Short-Term and Working Memory

  • For example, it is easier to remember a hyphenated phone number than a single long number because it is broken into three chunks instead of existing as ten digits.
  • It consists of two parts: a short-term phonological store with auditory memory traces that are subject to rapid decay, and an articulatory loop that can revive these memory traces.
  • The phonological store can only store sounds for about two seconds without rehearsal, but the auditory loop can "replay them" internally to keep them in working memory.
  • The phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad are semi-independent systems; because of this, you can increase the amount you can remember by engaging both systems at once.
  • The central executive connects the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad and coordinates their activities.

• Student Learning Outcomes

  • Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for a single population mean, population standard deviation known.
  • Conduct and interpret hypothesis tests for a single population mean, population standard deviation unknown.

• Personalized Learning

  • Personalized Learning is the tailoring of pedagogy, curriculum, and learning environments to meet the needs of individual learners.
  • Personalized learning is the tailoring of pedagogy, curriculum, and learning environments to meet the needs and aspirations of individual learners.
  • Personalization is broader than just individualization or differentiation in that it affords the learner a degree of choice about what is learned, when it is learned and how it is learned.
  • Personal Learning Environments (PLE) are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning.
  • It becomes, indeed, not a single application, but a collection of interoperating applications—an environment rather than a system. "

• Electric Generators

  • Charges in the wires of the loop experience the magnetic force because they are moving in a magnetic field.
  • The total EMF $\varepsilon$ around the loop is then:
  • Noting that the area of the loop is A=ℓw, and allowing for N loops, we find that:
  • A generator with a single rectangular coil rotated at constant angular velocity in a uniform magnetic field produces an emf that varies sinusoidally in time.

• Specific Learning Disorder

  • Specific learning disorder is a classification of disorders in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner within one of several domains.
  • Often referred to as learning disabilities, learning disorders are characterized by inadequate development of specific academic, language, and speech skills.
  • The DSM does not require that a single domain of difficulty (such as as reading, mathematics, or written expression) be identified—instead, it is a single diagnosis that describes a collection of potential difficulties with general academic skills, simply including detailed specifiers for the areas of reading, mathematics, and writing.
  • The causes of learning disabilities are not well understood.
  • Social support may also improve learning for students with learning disabilities.

• Centripetal Force

  • It can be seen in the orbit of satellites around the earth, the tension in a rope in a game of tether ball, a roller coaster loop de loop, or in a bucket swung around the body.
  • Previously, we learned that any change in a velocity is an acceleration.

• Aseptic Technique, Dilution, Streaking, and Spread Plates

  • Sterile technique, in general, is a learned state-of-being, or mantra, where every utilization of any sterile material comes with the caveat of taking every precaution to ensure it remains as free of contaminants as possible for as long as possible.
  • In microbiology, streaking is a technique used to isolate a pure strain from a single species of microorganism, often bacteria.
  • Samples can then be taken from the resulting colonies and a microbiological culture can be grown on a new plate so that the organism can be identified, studied, or tested.The streaking is done using a sterile tool, such as a cotton swab or commonly an inoculation loop.
