Robert Gagnes Theory of Cognitive Learning
- Applying Gagnes Theory to the Classroom Setting
- EDCI 6304.61

Robert Gagne
- Gagne proposed
- Provide Instruction to build final task
- Ensure each component is mastered
- Sequence tasks for completion
3
Gagnes Theory
- There are 9 Events of Instruction that are
grouped by Phases - Preparation
- Acquisition Performance
- Transfer of Learning
4
Gagne Continued
- These 3 phases implement a total of 9 steps that
Gagne proposed to have a successful impact on
learners. - Each phase introduced analytical concepts that
involved short term, long term, and working
memory. - The end result was successful learning or mastery
of specific skills.
5
Gagnes 9 Steps
- Phase 1 - Preparation
- Phase 2 Acquisition
- 4) Importance of Stimulus places importance of
content - 5) Encoding transfers content to long term
memory - 6) Retrieval Response returns content to
individual for a response
- Attending alerts learner
- Expectancy informs learner of objectives
- Retrieval provides recall of prerequisite
abilities

Continued..
- Phase 3 Transfer of Learning
- 7) Reinforcement applies expectancy of
objective - 8) Recall learner is able to recall info/skill
- 9) Application transfer of content/skill is
successful

How to Apply Gagnes Theory in the Classroom
- As an educator, there are many ways to implement
Gagnes theory into your curriculum or
activities. - The following are examples of how to carry out a
lesson applying the 3 Phases of Gagnes Theory.

Lesson Plans!
- Begin with planning your lesson! Whether you are
using CSCOPE (A program many teachers follow as a
curriculum), or your own curriculum, plan the
class period out by organizing your instruction,
materials, and activities. - After a warm up activity, you can capture
your students attention using a
variety of techniques (like posing a question,
asking to solve a problem, or presenting
facts). - List your objectives on the board and explain
the goals of the lesson to the students so
that they know your expectations. - Connect your introduction to previous content
that was taught (activate prior
knowledge). - By doing so, you have completed Phase 1 of
Gagnes Theory of Instruction.

The Lesson Cycle Cont.
- After the introduction, you may use media to
teach the lesson to your students. Here is a
sample slide from an 8th Grade U.S. History Class
covering the Civil War using the Power Point
program. - As you lecture, use HOTS (Higher order thinking
skills) to list the importance of the content,
pose questions, and check for understanding. - By doing so, you have completed Phase 2.

Concluding the Lesson Cycle..
- As the teaching concludes, whether you implement
independent activities or group activities for
the students to work on, have the learners
complete assignments that reinforces what they
learned, has them recall content, and allows them
to apply the skills they learned. - By doing so, you have completed Phase 3.
