Conditions of Learning: Gagne's Nine Levels of Learning

The nine steps of Gagne's "Events of Instruction" 

Gagn's theory contains elements that can be viewed as disadvantages or limitations, which I shall discuss in this essay. There are drawbacks to theories of this type, which consider learning as a series of experiences and are reliant on accumulation. 

Other, slightly more particular disadvantages emerge during implementation by teachers who find difficulty using Gagn's method. I will summarize its levels of learning, nine "phases" or "categories," and cognitive processes before delving into the theory's shortcomings, in my opinion.

According to Gagn, there are various types or levels of learning, and each type requires a distinct form of instruction. Gagn divides learning into five categories: verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. Each learning style demands a distinct set of internal and external elements. 

For example, for kids to learn cognitive methods, we must allow them to experience inventing new solutions to problems and developing attitudes. We must present a reliable sample or convincing reasons to the student.

Furthermore, his theory describes nine "phases" or "categories" and the cognitive processes associated with them:

• Gaining Attention (Reception) 

• Informing Learners of the Objective (Expectancy) 

• Stimulating Recall of Prior Learning (Retrieval) 

• Presenting the Stimulus (Selective Perception)

• providing learning guidance (semantic encoding)

•
