Learning+Theory

 Behaviorism ||  Cognitivism ||  Constructivism ||  Multiple Intelligences ||  Learning Styles ||  Summary of Theory ||  Behaviorists view all behavior as a response to external stimuli. They belive that the learner acquires behaviors, skills, and knowledge in response to stimuli. ||  Cognitivists focus on learning as a mental operation. It begins when information enters through the senses, goes through mental operations, is stored, and finally is used. ||  Constructivists believe that knowledge is constructed from the learning process and is unique to the individual who constructs it. ||  Each individual has multiple types of intelligences. There are nine different intelligences that each person has, some stronger than others. ||  Learning styles are the sensory preferences that impact learning. Each person has their own preferences for receiving and decoding information. ||  Key Theorists ||  Ivan Pavlov, John Watson, B.F.

Provide opportunities for development through experience and motivate through modeling. || <span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> Different programs can be tailored to different intelligences so that each intelligence style can be provided for. || <span style="color: black; font-size: 9pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> Different types of learning styles can be addressed with technology programs. Some students may have trouble learning what the teacher says, but a different approach could address their learning style. ||
