Non – learning theory 1. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological theory - Microsystem: Teacher has authoritative teaching strategies by setting clear limits, enforce rules and expect mature behavior but warm with students. This will lead to positive relationship with students and enhance motivation. Non – Learning theory 1. Self-determination theory Intrinsic motivation is defined as the doing of an activity for its inherent satisfactions rather than for some separable consequence.  As a…

To further understand Piaget’s theory we need to understand the term schema. The schema is ‘a cohesive, repeatable action sequence possessing component actions that are tightly interconnected and governed by a core meaning’ (Tuckman 2011, p.46). In essence, a schema is a building block of behaviour that organises information and knowledge. The schema is used to perceive new information and build upon existing knowledge. In regards to a school setting, the schema can be used as a tool for…

slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” It reflects the process of learning, where hardships are anticipated and slows down the adaptation process.

Through my experience to use Kolb’s learning theory to adapt my university life. There are four different stages in the process of learning. Firstly, the reflectivity of a concrete experience which is the…

Introduction Background to the study “If a child is not learning in the way you teach, change your teaching strategy and teach the child in the way he or she learns!” Each child is unique and learns best when information is presented to him or her in an appropriate way. According to Sikand, (2002) Multisensory teaching technique is the process of learning new subject matter through the use of two or more senses.

behaviourist learning theory, learning is the results of connections made between the stimulus conditions in the environment and the individual’s response that follow its reaction. This learning process is relatively simple to understand. Behaviourist theory continues to be considered useful in nursing practice for the delivery of health care. Behavioral learning theorists believe that learning has occurred when you as an individual can see changes in behavior. The behavioral learning model…

Observational Learning on Behavior and Memory Various set of statements investigate how learning is accumulated and how direct experience, reinforcement, or punishment lead to learning. Despite the fact that scientists focused more on the most well-known learning theories such as classical conditioning and operant conditioning, observational learning became substantial for learning and memory as it is related to everyday life. Observational learning, also accepted as social learning…

The form in which children learn has often made psychologists and even educators to ponder more. There have been several theories that have come up from several theorists in important fields. One kind of this theories is the Lev Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory of learning. According to Vygotsky's theory, the mental development of language thought, and the reasoning process gets developed through interactions and social relationships. This, therefore, means that the development of an individual…

development, I think that children learn the most from the people they interact and have relationships with. Through my research and knowledge of developmental theories, I believe that the works of Lev Vygotsky and Urie Bronfenbrenner both play a large part in how I think about this subject. If we deeply consider Vygotsky’s learning theory, the very interactions that he felt made the greatest impact on children’s development, would fit right into the child’s interactions with us as teachers. We…

facilitate learning in a variety of ways, engaging students to learn can take on many different forms.

I decided almost two years ago to begin the process of earning my master’s degree in education from Baker University. My most recent class, Learning…

Everyone learns different than the person sitting right next to you. One of the most studied theories out there today is the David Kolb’s learning theory. Kolb’s believes that learning happens in a cycle that repeat themselves and each concept needs to take place in order for full understanding to happen: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. With concrete experience the person can either take on an experience either a brand new…
