The document discusses two adult learning theories: cognitive theory which involves short and long-term memory as well as Gestalt principles, and constructivist theory which expands on cognitive theory by adding the role of experience. It then discusses how the author learns as a visual learner who takes time slowly and through repetition and interest, and how their learning profile would affect their teaching profile as needing to connect with their audience through passion and social interaction.

The document summarizes three journal entries about psychology lessons:
1) The first lesson covered understanding oneself through self-surveys and learning about biases like the spotlight effect and self-serving bias. It was an interactive lesson and the student enjoyed the teaching style.
2) The second lesson discussed intuition and how thinking can be automatic or controlled. It covered overestimation and how attitudes and memories can change over time.
3) The third lesson explained visual perception, including how light and color affect us, reversible figures, and optical illusions. It stimulated creative thinking and was an engaging lesson for the student.
Constructivist Learning
Constructivist Learning Theory is based on the idea that learners must actively construct their own understanding through experiences. It focuses on how learners make meaning and how teachers can organize learning to support meaning making. The brain is a complex adaptive system that searches for patterns and meaning innately. Emotions also influence how meaning is constructed and organized.
Beatriz rodriguez learning theories ppt
Constructivism posits that learning is an active process where learners construct their own understanding by building upon their prior knowledge through hands-on experiences and interactions with others. Key theorists who contributed to constructivism include Piaget, who described cognitive development in four stages, Vygotsky, who emphasized social learning and the zone of proximal development, and Dewey, who viewed school as a social community. Under constructivism, the teacher acts as a guide who helps students build upon their existing knowledge through collaboration and real-world problem solving.
Social Constructivist Approaches
1. The document discusses social constructivist approaches to learning and development, comparing the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. Vygotsky emphasized social contexts and mutual construction of knowledge, whereas Piaget focused more on individual cognitive development.
2. A key difference is that Vygotsky saw cognitive development as socially mediated, with learning occurring through interaction before development. In contrast, Piaget believed development must precede learning.
3. The concept of the Zone of Proximal Development describes what a learner can do with guidance compared to independently. Scaffolding refers to how teachers guide learning through focused questions and interactions.
Literature Searching: Adult Learning Theory
This document provides guidance on conducting literature searches for education topics. It discusses when to use medical versus educational databases and focuses on key educational databases like ERIC. Strategies are presented for developing effective search terms for education topics. Users are encouraged to try different databases and search strings to find relevant information and spend most time in ERIC and other education databases. Contact with librarians for assistance with searches is also recommended.
Adult development theory
The document summarizes several adult learning and development theories. It discusses Knowles' principles of andragogy, which focus on adults' internal motivation and relevance of learning. Four major theories are outlined: Perry's model of intellectual development involving dualism to relativism; Belenky's model of women's ways of knowing from silence to constructed knowledge; Kitchener and King's model of reflective judgment from pre-reflective to reflective thinking; and Baxter-Magolda's model of epistemological reflection among college students from absolute to contextual knowing. The implications of these stage-based theories involve a shift from external to internal definitions of knowledge with meaning constructed through experience.

Learning theorymatrix
Behaviorist theory views learning as occurring through conditioning, where behaviors become conditioned responses to stimuli through reinforcement or punishment. Cognitive theory sees learning as involving how memory processes and organizes information, with prior knowledge playing an important role. Constructivist theory approaches learning as an active process where learners construct new ideas based on their experiences. Social learning theory posits that learning happens through observation and modeling other people's behaviors. Connectivism is a learning theory for the digital age based on networking and making connections between information sources. Adult learning theory recognizes that adults commit to learning when the goals are relevant and applicable to their lives and work. Factors that influence learning according to the theories include reinforcement/punishment, memory/prior knowledge, experiences,
Principles of Learning
Principles of Learning: A Conceptual Framework for Domain-Specific Theories of Learning Christian J. Weibell (we'-bull) Department of Instructional Psychology and Technology Doctor of Philosophy
This study is predicated on the belief that there does not now exist, nor will there ever exist, any single theory of learning that is broad enough to account for all types of learning yet specific enough to be maximally useful in practical application. Perhaps this dichotomy is the reason for the apparent gap between existing theories of learning and the practice of instructional design. As an alternative to any supposed grand theory of learning—and following the lead of prominent thinkers in the fields of clinical psychology and language teaching—this study proposes a shift toward principles. It presents a principle-based conceptual framework of learning, and recommends use of the framework as a guide for creating domain-specific theories of learning. The purpose of this study was to review theories of learning in the behavioral, cognitive, constructive, human, and social traditions to identify principles of learning local to those theories that might represent specific instances of more universal principles, fundamentally requisite to the facilitation of learning in general. Many of the ideas reviewed have resulted from, or been supported by, direct empirical evidence. Others have been suggested based on observational or practical experience of the theorist. The ideas come from different points in time, are described from a variety of perspectives, and emphasize different aspects and types of learning; yet there are a number of common themes shared among them regarding the means by which learning occurs. It is hypothesized that such themes represent universal and fundamental principles of learning. These principles were the objective of the present study. They have been sought through careful review and analysis of both theoretical and empirical literature by methods of textual research (Clingan, 2008) and constant comparative analysis (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). By way of textual research a methodological lens was defined to identify general themes, and by way of constant comparative analysis these themes were developed further through the analysis and classification of specific instances of those themes in the texts reviewed. Ten such principles were identified: repetition, time, step size, sequence, contrast, significance, feedback, context, engagement, and agency. These ten facilitative principles were then organized in the context of a comprehensive principles-of-learning framework, which includes the four additional principles of potential, target, change, and practice.

4 cognitivism
The document discusses cognitivism and its key ideas. Cognitivism argues that mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem-solving should be studied. It views learning as a change in a learner's mental schemas or symbolic constructions as they process information. The document also summarizes some of the main ideas of Gestalt psychology, an early perspective that influenced cognitivism. Gestalt psychologists believed perception involves perceiving whole forms and patterns, not just individual parts.
Learning Theories: Classical Conditioning & Gestalt Theory
This document discusses two classic learning theories: classical conditioning and Gestalt theory. Classical conditioning, proposed by Ivan Pavlov, is a type of associative learning where a reflexive response becomes linked to a previously neutral stimulus. Gestalt theory, developed by German psychologists in the early 20th century, proposes that people tend to organize visual elements into unified wholes based on principles like proximity, similarity, and closure. Both theories aim to explain how information is absorbed and processed during learning, with classical conditioning focusing on stimulus-response links and Gestalt theory emphasizing learners' comprehension of concepts as unified patterns or forms.
Cognitive and social constructivism. powell
This document discusses cognitive and social constructivism as approaches for an effective classroom. It explains that cognitive constructivism is based on Piaget's theory that learning is an individual process of constructing knowledge from experiences. Social constructivism, developed from Vygotsky's work, views learning as a social process where ideas are constructed through interactions with others. The document provides details on Piaget's stages of development and Vygotsky's theories of the zone of proximal development and social interaction to illustrate how these constructivist approaches can guide teaching methods and strategies.
Growth and Development Stages
Freud, Erikson, Piaget, and Kohlberg's theories describe human development across the lifespan. Freud focused on psychosexual development through oral, anal, phallic, latent, and genital stages. Erikson emphasized psychosocial development through trust, autonomy, initiative, industry and identity. Piaget's stages of cognitive development included sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational thought. Kohlberg described moral development progressing from preconventional to conventional to postconventional stages.
Learning theories
This presentation is about the learning theories which are the subject-matter of Educational Psychology. It focuses on the three main domain of learning theories; Behavioral , Cognitive and Constructive. Further, it also contains the educational implication of all learning theories.
Cognitivism
Cognitivism is a learning theory based on mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem solving. It focuses on exploring the "black box" of the human mind to understand how people learn. Key contributors include Paivio, Gagne, Gardner, and Bloom. The cognitive theory views learning as a change in a learner's mental schemas or representations. Classroom implications for teachers include integrating multiple teaching methods, relating new concepts to prior knowledge, and assessing changes in student cognition. For students, it means demonstrating learning through a variety of higher-order thinking skills and relating new ideas to existing knowledge structures.
Some notes on Gestalt learning theory
Notes to accompany a taught session on 10 February 2010. Module blog at http://www.bedspce.org.uk/mod2/2010/02/10-february-gestalt-etc.html
Behaviorism
The document provides an overview of the behavioral (learning) approach. It discusses the major theories of learning put forth by behavioral psychologists, including classical conditioning proposed by Pavlov, operant conditioning by Thorndike and Skinner, and observational learning. It also outlines the key figures in the development of behaviorism from Watson to Bandura and Rotter. Finally, it discusses applications of behaviorism to education, including the use of reinforcement and punishment in the classroom.
Cognitivism vs constructivism
The document compares and contrasts cognitivism and social constructivism approaches to learning. Cognitivism views learning as an internal cognitive process, focusing on how people think and process information. It is teacher-centered. Social constructivism sees learning as a social process where people actively construct knowledge based on experiences and interactions. It is student-centered and emphasizes collaboration. Both have advantages such as making learning meaningful, but also disadvantages such as difficulty testing constructed knowledge.
04 theories and classification of retailing
The document discusses three main theories of retail: environmental theory, cyclical theory, and conflict theory. Environmental theory attributes changes in retail to changes in the retailers' operating environment. Cyclical theory views changes as following patterns and phases. Conflict theory proposes that competition between opposing retailer types leads to new formats developing. The document then provides more details on attributes, characteristics, and implications of each theory.
Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt psychology focuses on how the brain organizes and makes sense of visual elements based on principles like proximity, similarity, closure, and figure-ground perception. The founders of Gestalt psychology were Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka in Germany in the early 20th century. They emphasized that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that perception involves seeing patterns and relationships rather than just individual elements. Gestalt principles can be applied to instructional design to maximize learning by organizing content in ways that are easy for the brain to process visually.
Gestalt Psychology
Gestalt theory proposes that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It was developed in the early 20th century by German psychologists Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka who argued that learning involves actively organizing and making sense of information rather than passively receiving it. The Gestalt laws of perception describe how humans naturally perceive visual elements as grouped patterns and shapes.
Social Constructivism & Cognitive Development Theory
Social Constructivism and Cognitive Development Theory are compared. Both theories view cognition as resulting from mental construction and believe learning depends on teaching context and student beliefs. However, Piaget focused on intellectual development mechanisms while Vygotsky emphasized culture's influence through language and social structures. Vygotsky placed more importance on social and cultural influences on development than Piaget. Vygotsky also highlighted the important roles of language and the Zone of Proximal Development in cognitive growth.
Behaviourism
The document discusses the theory of behaviourism and some of its key proponents. Behaviourism argues that behaviour is the only objective thing that can be studied, not internal mental states. Some of the theorists discussed include Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Their work involved classical conditioning experiments with animals and humans to understand learning through stimulus-response associations and reinforcement.
Cognitive theory ppt
This document summarizes several cognitive learning theories:
- Allan Paivio's Dual Coding Theory which posits that people process information visually and verbally.
- Robert Gagne identified 5 categories of learning like verbal information, intellectual skills, and motor skills.
- Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences which identified 8 types of intelligence like linguistic and interpersonal.
- Benjamin Bloom concluded that every child has the ability to learn based on his research into the cognitive domain.
The cognitive theory views thinking and remembering as behaviors that can be analyzed to measure their effect on learning. It is interested in how people understand material.

Learning Theory.pptx
This document discusses three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism views learning as responses to stimuli and emphasizes reinforcement. Cognitivism sees the mind like a computer that processes information through sensory, working, and long-term memory. Constructivism posits that learners construct knowledge based on their own experiences and that social interaction and experiential learning help promote learning. These theories inform different approaches to instructional design.
Module 2-Underlying Principle.pptx
This document discusses key aspects of constructivism as it relates to teaching mathematics. It covers the following main points:
1. Constructivism is a learning theory that posits people actively construct their own knowledge based on experiences. Pioneers like Piaget, Von Glasersfeld, and Vygotsky contributed influential ideas.
2. Effective constructivist teaching involves students developing more complex mathematical understanding through reflection and social processes. Assessment should be an ongoing part of the learning process.
3. Implications for the classroom include students taking an active role in knowledge construction through exploration, communication, and applying their ideas. The teacher acts as a facilitator rather than solely lecturing.

Nursing lec 1
This document discusses new concepts of curriculum that focus on developing thinking skills. It argues that today's world requires life-long learning and problem solving abilities rather than just content knowledge. It presents five key aspects of a "thought-full" curriculum: 1) directly teaching thinking skills, 2) using content to engage and activate the mind, 3) stimulating dialogue to build shared understanding, 4) reflecting on one's own thought processes, and 5) cultivating a more thoughtful world through education. The overall message is that education needs to go beyond just teaching content to developing strong thinking abilities in students.
Introduction constructivist
Psychological constructivism is a learning theory that posits that individuals create their own understanding and knowledge through experiences and reflecting on those experiences. It emphasizes that learners build new ideas based upon their current and past knowledge. The key principles are that learning involves active mental construction and knowledge is built inductively from specific experiences. [/SUMMARY]

1. Constructivist learning theory holds that learning is an active process where learners construct meaning based on their experiences and prior knowledge.
2. Effective teaching utilizes multiple methods to accommodate different learning styles and keeps students actively engaged in constructing their own understanding with guidance from the teacher.
3. Students learn best when they are actively involved in making sense of information themselves, such as by applying knowledge or preparing to teach others, rather than passively receiving information from lectures or readings.
Constructivism
The document discusses Jerome Bruner's constructivist learning theory, which posits that learning is an active process where learners construct new ideas based upon their current and past knowledge. It emphasizes that learning should involve exploring large concepts, inquiry-based learning, and making connections between ideas. According to constructivism, knowledge is temporary, culturally mediated, and developed through language. The roles of the teacher involve posing problems, structuring learning around core concepts, seeking student perspectives, and adapting instruction based on student understanding.
Funcation of knowledge in curriculum
This document outlines a presentation on knowledge and curriculum. It defines knowledge and lists its sources and types. It discusses knowledge in relation to learning theories and Bloom's taxonomy. It defines curriculum and lists its elements and foundations. It describes the curriculum development cycle and provides an overview of the national curriculum. Key points include defining knowledge, listing its sources as perception, introspection, memory, reason, and testimony. It identifies types of knowledge and discusses curriculum foundations and design approaches.
LEARNING VARIATION INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
This document provides an overview of three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. It defines each theory and describes their key aspects. Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning, cognitivism emphasizes mental processes and knowledge representation, and constructivism views learning as an active process of constructing knowledge based on experiences. The document also discusses how each theory can be applied in classroom instruction and their critiques. It concludes by relating each theory to different types of educational technology supports.
Promoting Student Understanding 2
The document discusses promoting student understanding rather than just knowledge recall. It outlines an upcoming workshop on Understanding by Design (UbD), a framework for designing curriculum, assessment and instruction to support understanding. Participants will learn about UbD principles, apply them to their roles, and develop plans to promote understanding in schools. Research shows US students lack understanding, and curriculum often emphasizes coverage over depth.
Why teach higher higher order thinking skills
This document discusses the importance of teaching higher-order thinking skills in schools. It argues that while people can think spontaneously, explicitly teaching thinking can improve the quality and effectiveness of students' thinking. The document also notes that educational achievement and intelligence do not necessarily reflect one's ability to think critically and that most individuals need guidance to develop higher-order thinking. Finally, it states that thinking skills should be an integral part of the school curriculum and explicitly taught across subjects in order to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.
Learning Process: Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism
The document discusses three main learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism views learning as shaped by external stimuli and responses, cognitivism sees it as acquiring and processing information, and constructivism believes it involves building understanding from experiences. Constructivism differs from cognitivism in seeing learning as incorporating human factors like creativity rather than just logic. The document also outlines principles of constructivism like learning being an active social process of constructing meaning from experiences.
Concept Mapping and the Development of Argumentation in the ZPD
This presentation succeeded to solicit the interest for a simple form of written and collaborative argumentation that can be used in association to concept mapping to help adolescent students in developing their potential for thinking in concepts.
In particular the presentation wanted to popularize Vygotsky's theoretical foundations as really capable to describe the transition from thinking in complexes to thinking in concepts. Using simple examples the congress attendees were able to undestand visually the kind of re-wiring happening in their minds as could happen to the students.

Section 3.1Introduction to Learning Psychology
James Maddox is the lead case manager for the county department of human services. A new
platform for documenting client cases is about to be implemented across the department and
James must train all of his case managers to successfully use the system. As he brainstorms
training ideas, he recalls the psychology of learning class he took when he was earning his
bachelor’s degree in psychology. He knows that the training must communicate the crucial
components of the new platform, but he also knows that how he communicates these compo-
nents, that is, the design of the training, may be even more important. It is essential that the
training be effective and engaging. He knows that there are many variables that can affect
effective knowledge acquisition and that individuals have complex and diverse learning pref-
erences. He also recalls the different theories that suggest best practices for helping one’s self,
as well as others, to learn more effectively. Based on this, he designs what he hopes will be an
engaging training that will appeal to many different types of learners and result in long-term
knowledge acquisition.
James’s situation reminds us that learning is a part of our everyday lives, whether personal
or professional, and also reminds us of the importance of knowing how to effectively support
learning opportunities for ourselves and for others. Consider the following questions that
might guide James in developing a more successful training event:
ሁ What theories of learning can support the development of training materials?
ሁ What strategies could be utilized to encourage successful learning?
ሁ How can James learn more about his case managers to better design the training?
ሁ How might the diversity of his team create stumbling blocks during the training? How
might it enhance the training process?
3.1 Introduction to Learning Psychology
The questions posed in the introductory scenario are typical of the variety addressed by
those who are applying strategies in the domain of learning. Learning psychology is devoted
to understanding how people learn as well as how people learn most effectively (Rosser-
Majors, 2017). People can apply the theories and models of learning psychology to support
increased learning opportunities for themselves ...

visible thinking summary
Visible Thinking is a framework that aims to enrich classroom learning, foster students' intellectual development, and shift the classroom culture towards enthusiastic thinkers and learners. It involves using thinking routines, emphasizing four thinking ideals, and making students' thinking visible through explanations, ideas, debates, and interpretations displayed in the classroom. When thinking is visible, students are more metacognitive, engaged in exploring ideas rather than just memorizing content, and teachers can better understand students' thinking to address challenges and extend learning.
Teresa B. - Cognitivism
Cognitivism is a learning theory that focuses on internal mental processes like memory, problem-solving, and thinking. It views learning as information processing in the mind, similar to a computer. Key people in cognitivism include Benjamin Bloom, who created Bloom's Taxonomy of learning objectives, and Robert Gagne, who identified different types of learning. In the classroom, cognitivism uses visual aids, demonstrations, and feedback to encourage critical thinking skills.
