LEARNING THEORIES - Coggle Diagram

- - - - experiment on rats
      - rats knew how the maze in which they were put was structured
      - rats had its mental map
    - - zone of proximal development (ZPD)
      - ZPD represents the potential
        levels of development
    - - how human beings make sense of their environment
        and experience
      - process of restructuring the schemata through assimilation & accomodation
        
        assimilation (process of integrating new information with existing knowledge
        
        accommodation (process
        of modification or transformation in existing cognitive
        structures in response to a new situation)
- - - - Classical conditioning
        
        Experiment involved a dog, food and a bell
        
        food (unconditioned stimulus), salivation (unconditioned response), the bell - (conditioned stimulus), salivation - (conditioned response only to the bell)
    - - Theory of 'connectionism'
      - Connection between stimulus and response
      - 3 Laws (Law of effect, law of exercise, law of readiness)
    - - Operant conditioning (behaviour may result in reinforcement)
      - Concept - reward, extinction, punishment
- - - - knowledge acquisition is
        a process of continuous self-construction
      - children pass through stages of assimilation, accommodation and equilibrium in the process of knowledge construction
    - - knowledge can’t be isolated from social and cultural context
      - the knowledge is constructed through interaction between teacher and student
