Web 2.0• Web 2.0 is a term that refers to the second

Paradigm Shift in Learning
10
Learning Theories
11
Behaviorism• Also called Learning Perspective• Operates on the principle that all behavior
is caused by an external stimulus• Assumes the learner is passive and
learns in response to environmental stimulus
• Learner starts off as a clean slate and behavior is shaped through positive and negative reinforcement
• Major contributors: Ivan Pavlov and BF Skinner
• Pavlov example
12
Cognitivism• Replaced Behaviorism as the
dominant learning theory in the 1960s• Major Principle: opening of the “black
box: of the human mind is valuable and necessary for understanding how people learn
• Learner is viewed as an information processor
• People are not “programmed animals” that merely respond to environmental stimuli; people are rational beings that require active participation in order to learn, and whose actions are a consequence of thinking
• Major contributors: Jean Piaget
13
Constructivism• Based on Piaget’s and
Vygotsky’s theories
• Embraces a “top-down” instructional methodology
• Learner is an information constructor
14
Social Learning Theory• Branch of Constructivism• Educational psychologists
refer to this as Social Constructivism
• People learn through social interactions with others
• Major Contributor: Albert Bandura
15
Social Learning Theory
Major Principle:• People can learn
by observing the behaviors of others and the outcomes of those behaviors
16
Social Learning and Web 2.0
• Social Learning is easily facilitated by Web 2.0
• Caveat: Like any other technology, the use of Web 2.0 technologies should be driven by specific learning goals
