Theories of Learning

The Human Memory Model Memory stores Cognitive processes Metacognition

BehaviourismThe theory that explains learning in terms of observable behaviours and how they’re influenced by stimuli from the environment

Social Cognitive TheoryThe theory of learning that focuses on changes in behaviour that result from observing others

ConstructivismThe theory of learning suggesting that learners create their own knowledge of the topics they study rather than receiving that knowledge as transmitted to them by some other source.

Benefits of Constructivism

Children enjoy learning more when actively involved.

Learning works best when concentrating on

understanding and thinking

It gives ownership to the students of what they learn

Engages and stimulates students

Promotes communication and social skills

Challenges in Constructivism 

There is not alot of hard evidence to say that constructivist methods work

Critics suggest that constructivist methods are more successful for those students from a privileged background (Concept to classroom, 2004).

Characteristics of Constructivism

Learners construct knowledge that makes sense to them

New learning depends on current understandSocial interaction facilitates learningThe most meaningful learning occurs within real

world tasks
