The learning theories
Learning
Process in which you link your previous knowledge with the new one and you are able to apply it in other situations
The ways of understanding learning
determine
the way of teaching
Behaviourism
Based on the stimulus-response approach
All behaviour is caused by external stimuli.
The learner is passive
Behaviour is shaped through reinforcements or punishments which increases/decreases the probability that the antecedent behavior will happen again.
Learning is therefore defined as a change in behavior in the learner
Cognitivism
Learning is understood as a developmental cognitive process
The object of study is the mind
Students create their own knowledge
All learning occurs in a cultural context and involves social interactions
Students tend to compete among each other
Constructivism
Students learn through connections with prior experiences and as a result of social interaction
Teachers acquire an active role. They are facilitators
Students are the creators of their own knowledge
Promotes students' innate curiosity about the world and how things work
