This document discusses different views of learners, learning, teachers, and classrooms from behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist perspectives.
The behavioral view sees the learner as passive and shaped by environmental stimuli without internal reflection. The teacher controls learning through reinforcement. The cognitive view sees the active learner integrating new and existing knowledge through mental processing. The teacher provides tools for organizing information.
The constructivist view is learner-centered, with students constructing their own understanding through hands-on experiences. The teacher acts as a guide, using modeling, coaching and scaffolding to facilitate student-led discussion and interactive, project-based activities.
