The '''knowledge-attitude-behavior (KAB) framework''' is a conceptual [[Models and Frameworks|model]] of understanding the psychological makeup and status of an individual person. The three elements of [[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|knowledge]], [[Attitudes and affect of the learner (KAB)|attitude]], and [[Behavior of the learner (KAB)|behavior]] comprise the key elements of learning and are things that should be considered when developing [[Interactions and activities|educational activites]] and [[Educational product|products]]. The KAB framework captures a holistic view of a persons' understandings, competencies, and learning.

==Definition==
The '''knowledge-attitude-behavior (KAB) framework''' is a model for measuring and evaluating a person's psychological traits that influence learning.

==Additional Information ==
The KAB framework is composed of three important parts that each influence the other parts.

'''[[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|Knowledge]]''' is the primary domain of learning and is concerned with what a person knows how to do and the information that they know. All [[Educational product|educational products]], [[Interactions and activities|activities]], and [[Learning experience|experiences]] seek to increase a person's knowledge.

'''[[Attitudes and affect of the learner (KAB)|Attitudes]]''' are the affective, emotional, and belief aspects of a person. [[Learning theory|Learning theories]] have regularly shown that a person's emotional state, beliefs, and attitudes toward learning activities and knowledge (i.e., their affect or disposition) can greatly influence their ability to learn and participate within educational activities.

'''[[Behavior of the learner (KAB)|Behaviors]]''' are the actions that a person actually takes. '''[[Participation]]''' within educational activities and products is a form of behavior, as well as performing desired actions and tasks. Behavior differs from ''procedural knowledge'', as a person may know how to do something but choose not to do it (or not know that they were supposed to do it). Ultimately, the goal of all learning is to empower someone to perform positive actions and skills at the appropriate times, so behavior is a necessary component to monitor and measure to see if people actually do the tasks and actions that are expected.

Each of the three KAB components should be promoted in [[Educational product|educational products]] and [[Learning experience|experiences]], as [[Learning theory|learning theories]] have repeatedly demonstrated that the process of learning is more complex than just gaining and memorizing [[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|knowledge]] alone. People must feel empowered to learn and gain knowledge (via [[Attitudes and affect of the learner (KAB)|affect and attitudes]]), and must also feel empowered to actually use the skills and knowledge that they have gained (through [[Behavior of the learner (KAB)|behavior]]). When a product is [[Evaluation and assessment|evaluated]] for whether someone actually learned from a product, evaluators should measure and monitor (1) the declarative and procedural knowledge that participants have gained, (2) the attitudes and affect of the learner regarding the [[content]] being learned, and (3) whether the participant actually performs desired tasks and skills.

== Tips and Tricks==

* Each of the elements of the KAB framework are useful for thinking about [[Learning objectives and outcomes|learning objectives]] that should be achieved in a product. Not only should people work to gain [[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|knowledge]] as a result of their participation, but they should also develop positive [[Attitudes and affect of the learner (KAB)|attitudes and dispositions]] toward the [[content]] and [[Interactions and activities|activities]], as well as actually be able to demonstrate real-life skills and knowledge application through their [[Behavior of the learner (KAB)|behaviors]].
* Consider the whole KAB framework when designing evaluations. When building an [[Evaluation and assessment|evaluation]] of whether people achieved [[Learning objectives and outcomes|learning objectives]] from using an [[educational product]], the evaluator will benefit from measuring and monitoring each the [[Knowledge of the learner (KAB)|knowledge]] that was gained, the [[Attitudes and affect of the learner (KAB)|attitudes and affect]] of the person, and records of the actual [[Behavior of the learner (KAB)|behaviors]] and [[participation]] of the person.
