Study Notes
Approaches to Learning: Biological, Behavioural, Cognitive, Social and Developmental
- Learning is a difficult concept to define and depends on the perspective or approach used to explain it.
- Little human behaviour is instinctive, and the majority of human behaviour is learned, making learning essential for human survival.
- Humans benefit from their own experience and the experience of predecessors, allowing them to be versatile and adapt to many different situations/environments.
- The biological approach to learning involves studying learning through neuroscience methodology and understanding that the motivation underlying any learning is biological and evolutionary.
- The behaviourist perspective on education focuses on observable behaviours and associative learning, including classical and operant conditioning.
- The cognitive perspective emphasizes internal psychological processes, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and mental representation, which can be observed through experimentation.
- The social learning/cognitive perspective highlights that children can learn through imitation and modelling behaviour, and learners form expectations for future response-consequences contingencies.
- The developmental perspective examines the way that psychological processes develop over the lifespan, with Piaget's constructivist approach and Vygotsky's focus on social environment and culture influencing learning.
- Educational interventions need to target the biological/evolutionary mechanisms of learning if the processes are biological/evolutionary.
- Classroom environments should incorporate reinforcements deliberately and precisely to design learning environments that utilize unplanned reinforcements.
- Encouraging self-regulatory metacognitive processes in learning, directing and focusing attention on salient information, and using mnemonic techniques for remembering can facilitate knowledge transfer.
- Learning contexts should promote active roles for students and their social interactions in learning, including group problem-solving tasks, problem-based learning, and peer support in addition to teacher-led tasks.
