LEARNING THEORY
Behaviorism
Definition: Behaviorism is a theory that focuses on observable behaviors and the impact of environmental stimuli on those behaviors
Key concepts: Behavior is learned through conditioning: either classical conditioning (associating stimuli) or operant conditioning (reinforcement).
Role of teacher: The teacher is often seen as the controller of the learning environment, providing stimuli and reinforcement to shape desired behaviors
Role of learner: Learners are passive recipients of information, expected to respond to stimuli and reinforcement.
-
Cognitivism
Definition: emphasizes the mental processes involved in learning, such as memory, problem-solving, and understanding
-
Role of Teacher: The teacher facilitates learning by providing opportunities for learners to actively engage with and process information
Role of Learners: Learners are active participants in constructing their understanding through cognitive processes
Example: Teaching problem-solving strategies in mathematics by guiding students through step-by-step processes and encouraging them to apply these strategies independently
Constructivism
Definition: Constructivism posits that learners construct knowledge by actively engaging with experiences and reflecting on them
Key of Concepts: knowledge is actively constructed by the learner, rather than passively received
Role of Teacher: The teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding and supporting learners in their construction of knowledge
Role of Learners: Learners are actively involved in creating their understanding through exploration, inquiry, and reflection
Example: Learning about historical events through a project-based approach where students research, discuss, and create presentations to share their findings
Connectivism
Definition: Connectivism focuses on learning in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of networks, connections, and technology in knowledge acquisition
-
Role of Teacher: The teacher acts as a guide in helping learners navigate and make sense of the abundance of information available in digital networks
Role of Learners: Learners are networked individuals who actively seek, create, and share knowledge within digital environments
Example: Participating in online forums or social media groups to discuss and learn about a particular topic, leveraging the collective knowledge and resources of the online community
