Learning Theories: An Educational Perspective

Product Information

Previously he was a faculty member at the University of Houston and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If students are to produce a final product, then a technology that enables creative output will often be needed” (Bower, 2017). There are five learning “architectures” which discovery learning comprises: Case-based learning; Incidental learning; Learning by exploring; Learning by reflection; and Simulation-based learning. Students who enroll in the Master of Arts in Education at National University may complete coursework such as Current Issues in Early Childhood Education, Best ECE Teaching Practices, Introduction to Higher Education Administration, and more, with complete course listings available on our program page.

Special attention is paid to how these concepts and principles can be applied in today's classrooms. A neurophysiological description of information processing is presented, along with factors influencing the development of the brain.Just as no two people are the same, no two students learn in the exact the same way or at the exact same rate. Based on that study, the assessment rubric is developed, consisting four components; job description, scale, dimension, and dimension description. For now, let’s look at some key differences between five of the most prominent learning theories: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Connectivism, Constructivism, and Humanism. Empowering teachers to be, as Bates says, "in a better position to make choices about how to approach their teaching in ways that will best fit the perceived needs of their students.

The structure proposed here emerged from a theoretical study with the concurrent development of software. These topics traditionally have shown little overlap with learning theories, but fortunately this situation is changing. As we design for learning, we need to be aware that our theoretical starting points will inform our teaching practices, choice of learning technologies and the kinds of activities we provide to our students. Informed by the digital age, connectivism departs from constructivism by identifying and remediating gaps in knowledge. Instructional relevance is further developed through scenario textboxes demonstrating applications of the material in the context of elementary, secondary, and university classroom experiences.Sound knowledge in multiple learning theories is a first step to this and another reason why great teachers work their entire careers to master both the art and the science of teaching. El segundo capítulo está dedicado a la neurociencia del aprendizaje: tema de gran auge en la educación actualmente.

Following an introductory chapter on learning that discusses key learning issues and historical perspectives, the second chapter discusses conditioning theories of learning. The remaining chapters develop cognitive learning processes, motivation, self-regulation and development, with each of these being approached from multiple perspectives. It is for this reason that teacher colleges or educator preparation programs spend so much time having teacher candidates study human development and multiple learning theories. At the theoretical level, this enrichment can be founded by referring to developmental psychological theories and recent constructivistic, cognitive theories of knowledge acquisition.

For instance, some of the theories not covered in this guide include Pragmatic Education Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Flow Theory. For example, according to one study, “Due to the affinity that Generation Z learners show toward technology advances and supporting social learning tools, the overall teaching-learning experience was perceived [as] more positive and rewarding. She critiques the view that new technologies have led to transformational pedagogies and notes that the most common practice amongst educators has been “to merely add technology onto traditional ways of teaching”. Both fields attain concrete results and are capable of making predictions in the respective spheres of action.
