This document discusses three main learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism, based on the work of B.F. Skinner, believes that learning occurs through conditioning and experience. Cognitivism, developed by Jean Piaget, views learning as processing new information and relating it to prior knowledge and experience. Constructivism holds that individuals construct their own understanding through experience and reflection. The author believes cognitivism best aligns with their teaching philosophy but that elements from all three theories have value in the classroom.

It is important to realize there is not simply one way to learn. We can all benefit from understanding the learning process fully. Once you do, you'll be better equipped to study and learn using methods that employ four primary areas:
Reflective Learning (Listen, Read, Observe, Take Notes, Collect Data and Review It All and Ask Yourself Questions)
Abstract Learning (Analyze and Understand the Information and Identify Trends or Theories That Exist Within the Information)
Active Learning (Discuss Ideas with Others, Apply Ideas, Hands-on Activities)
Concrete Learning (Step-by-Step Implementation and Evaluate the Results)

2. WHAT ARE LEARNING THEORIES?
Learning theories are designed to help the instructor present curriculum and content
to a specific audience.
As teachers our job is to teach, by that we need to ensure all the students are
understanding what we are presenting to them. Every student learns in their own
individual way.
There are 3 main learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitive, Constructivism
3. BEHAVIORISM
This learning theory was based of the findings of B.F. Skinner.It is the belief
of this theory that changes in behavior and conditioning is how people
learn.
It is the belief of this theory that babies are like blank slates who must be
provided experience to learn.
While I agree with this to a certain point I don’t think it necessarily the case
across the board.We have human nature that isn't taught its simply known.
However on the other hand there are things that are taught purely by
experience and watching,for example driving,learning a dance routine.
Examples of this theory in the classroom;Positive
Reinforcement,incentives,Repetitive practice,Establishing Rules
4. NEGATIVES TO BEHAVIORISM
While Behaviorism instruction is beneficial in a lot of ways there are some negatives to this form of
instruction.
Lack of creative thinking and problem solving
Learners have learned to do as told, and do not stray outside of the lines or try and improve.
Learners are taught to memorize and recall information,retaining and fully understanding the
information may be lacked here because of this.
5. COGNITIVISM
Jean Piaget is the researcher behind Cognitive
learning theories.
Cognitivism refers to processing a
behavior. Seeking ways to understand and
relate what is received to information that is
already known.
Rather than just a change in behavior,
cognitivism learning takes the new information
and applies it to previous experience thus
changing the knowledge that has been stored
in the learners memory.
6. COGNITIVISM IN THE CLASSROOM
Classifying information
Linking Concepts (connect new information with old information previously taught)
Structure (organization of your lecture and day to day activities)
Real life references or examples
Open classroom discussions
Problem solving
PictureAides
7. CONSTRUCTIVISM
This theory is based on the individual thinking of
each person. It is believed that an individual
constructs their own concepts and knowledge
based on previous experiences.
This theory gives freedom for the students to
problem solve and show their creativity.In order to
be successful the person must have a broad
knowledge and past experiences in which to refer
to and interpret from to create ideas.
Versus being told what to do and not to question
what is told they are asked the question and they
build their own answer based off their personal
experiences and personality.
Results for Constructivism tend to be in consistent
because your data is all based off an individuals
personal experience.Thus making constructivism
8. CONSTRUCTIVISM IN THE CLASSROOM
Research
Problem based learning
Brainstorming
Group work
Discovery learning
Imitations of real world experiences
9. WHICH THEORY IS FOR ME?
Personally I find the Cognitive learning theory to align more with my teaching philosophy.
I find that I really enjoy day to day structure;meaning having a set schedule everyday and a standard everyday.
For example first thing my students will do every day is shake my hand before entering the classroom and then
make their way to their seats and begin on a what I call a "Bell Buster" (which usually is a question or
introduction to what we will be talking about in class that day.)
I enjoy open classroom discussions instead of a lecture where no one talks. I personally learn best when I am
sitting in a group discussing the information. Now I will have power point lectures however they will just be a bit
different where I encourage my students to ask questions and interrupt and elaborate on what I am saying. I don’t
want a classroom where the first expectation is to not speak.
10. WHAT I PLAN TO DO
Now Cognitivism may be my preference and what I plan to use mostly, however there are always a need for
behaviorism and constructivism learning in the classroom.
Group work, Research,Repetitive practice, Positive Reinforcement,Establishing Rules, Discovery learning.All of
these are extremely beneficial in my opinion in every classroom.
Ultimately I plan to use all 3 theories in my class room because while one student may learn better by
Behaviorism another my learn better by Cognitivism.
