A New Kind of Hierarchy

Robert Gagne (1916-2002) is the mastermind behing a different kind of hierarchy.  It is his hierarchy of learning.  The hierarchy includes the following:

-Signal learnig
-Stimulus
-Chaining
-Verbal association
-Discrimination learning
-Concept learning
-Rule learning
-Problem solving



This is a wonderful video about what Robert and his theories have done for education in America.  After watching it, I realized all he has done, and how much we should apreciate him.
