LEARNING THEORIES


LEARNING THEORIES









This week’s lecture was about learning theories. Learning is a psychological process that is been validated by school thought, by theorist like

v  Skinner, Pavlov through learning theory Behaviorism.

v  Vygotsky, Piaget through learning theory Cognitivism

v  Bandura through Social learning

v  John Dewey and Jerome through Constructivism.

These theorist spend a lot of time experimenting, observing and reasoning human and animal’s behaviour. The theorist helps learners to understand the picture that cannot be easily observed through their mind.

The learners should be able to be creative thinkers, collaborate, communicate as well as have problem solving skills

COGNITIVISM

It also a psychological process that focuses in the mind of the learner. The activity that happen inside the learner’s mind. How the learner think, knowing of problem solving skills and memory. The learner is an active participant in a learning process. The learner is able to construct knowledge and analyse information through his /her mind. The example the learner learned to be aggressive by observing parent fight or by experimenting abusive treatment from the parent. What the learner, learned at home can be able to relate to friend who are bullying him /her at school. Learner‘s cognitive level has developed. Vygotsky proposed as Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).  Now is able to store the information, organised and strategized.

This theory focuses on how a learner around the community imitate others by observing, compare. For example the learner can be involve in fighting because the imitate friends. The concept of self-efficacy is a belief that the learner can defend him / herself but not having fighting skills
