Study Notes

  • Every student learns differently, necessitating adaptation of teaching methodologies.
  • Active learning should be promoted by focusing on the student, with the objective of capturing their attention.

Active Learning

  • Active learning can be more demanding for students accustomed to traditional methods.
  • Creating a balanced learning environment can be difficult due to diverse student skill levels.

Self-Regulated Learning

  • Self-regulated learning entrusts the student with the responsibility and organization of the subject matter.
  • Students are given freedom in their learning approach

Constructive Learning

  • Constructive learning is based around building on previously learned content by making it increasingly complex.
  • A relationship is established between old and new content.
  • This approach is reflected in the typical progression of school curricula.

Located Learning

  • Located learning makes use of the interaction between the environment and the learner.
  • Practical elements are integrated into courses.

Social Learning

  • Social learning uses group activities to teach collaboration skills.
  • It prepares students for real-world work scenarios.

Behaviorism

  • Behaviorism is exemplified by animals responding to stimuli.
  • An example is a student using inappropriate language to get attention.
  • The effect of stimulus varies from person to person.
  • Behaviorism links a stimulus to a response in a reflex-like process.
  • Classical conditioning comes from learning through personal experiences by natural processes.
  • Operant conditioning uses artificial situations to stimulate behavioral development.

Cognitivism

  • Students learn when they understand the material.
  • Peer monitoring happens within the "Zone of Proximal Development."
  • This type of peer learning is effective as information is tailored towards the learner.
  • Mechanical learning involves learning new, unrelated information.
  • Significant learning refers to relating new information to prior knowledge.

Constructivism

  • Constructivism involves building on previous abilities and knowledge.
  • This is known as a Piagetian approach using the intellectual process of adding information.
  • Factors influencing this theory:
    • Teachers and their ability to provoke improvement in the learner.
    • Students, in that every person has their own learning theory.
    • Educational institutions providing resources that allow teaching.

Social Constructivism

  • Social constructivism is a theory of learning

Connectionism

  • Connectionism uses Information and Knowledge Technologies (ICT).
  • It is a new learning theory based on new technology.

Innatory Theory

  • According to the innatory theory, learning begins as soon as one starts speaking.

Theory of Maturation

  • A theory of maturation existed.
