Learning theory

Nowadays, high school students seem enjoy parties than study. They believe in theories such as: “The Vaccination Theory of Education”, “Adopt The Kung Fu Theory of Education” or “The Easy Listening Theory of Learning” which treats education as a heavy load on their shoulder. In my point of view, education is the skills that individuals learning to be better human-being. This essay will talk about my own theories, the problems which truly exist in the education system of China and my experiences…

5. How would you use (a) Krumboltz and (b) Phillips‘ work in addressing your client’s needs? (10 points) Krumboltz – For Kenyatta, I would utilize the associative learning experiences portion of Krumbolt’z social learning theory. Kenyatta had the chance to come to my school last week to watch myself and a co-worker teach and interact with our students. This experience allowed her to observe us while doing an occupation she is interested which is teaching. These types of experiences allow…

interested in and we were both interested in the topic of Learning Styles and Learning Theories, together we decided on researching Learning Styles. (Wiki group 7, 2016) After this Samantha joined our group, offering opinions when needed, and finally James joined thus completing our group. James offered very little assistance and communication within this assessment, and I feel this is where we would lose…

Customized Learning Theory How humans gain understanding, process new information, and retain knowledge have been studied across the globe. For decades, researchers have studied the processes of learning and stages of cognitive development. Research has led to learning theories that attempt to describe how cognition develops, how learning occurs, and how knowledge is retained. Effective teaching develops from an understanding of learning theory and how theory impacts classroom instruction and…

alternative theories surrounding the subject of ‘how children learn’. Firstly, one of the most influential theories of how children learn in today’s education system is constructivism which has been accepted as a model of children’s cognitive development since the 1950’s when it was developed by Jean Piaget (1896-1980). He aimed to develop a theory which was able to show ‘the nature of knowledge and the ways in which an individual acquires knowledge.’ Smith et al. (2003, p. 388). The theory has…

Learning Curves The learning curve, also referred to as the experience curve, is a simplistic, yet powerful, estimating technique which has become an essential concept/tool used for strategic planning within project management (Kerzner, 2013; Lieberman, 1987; Linton & Walsh, 2013). Bailey and Gupta (1999) suggested that the learning curve should probably be called the “forecasting curve” because it is primarily used to forecast the future expenditure of project resources (as cited in McKee &…

In 1961, Albert Bandura, Dorothea Ross, and Sheila Ross focused on a child’s ability to model aggressive actions. Prior to this, studies had shown that incidental learning takes place when an adult to a child demonstrates behaviors. No studies until 1961 had been done that tested whether behavior could transfer to settings where the model was no longer present (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1961). His experiments with preschool children are used to focus on the negative outcomes of using aggressive…

The Connectionism Theory of Learning was introduced by a prominent psychologist, Edward Thorndike. His theory was based on creating stimuli that would generate responses, and called these bonds the stimuli-response connections. Thorndike wanted to apply his laws to mathematics and other fields for humans, but he began with his puzzle-box studies. Around 1900, he conducted a series of experiments where he placed a hungry cat in puzzle box with food outside the cage. The cage could be opened by a…

most important tasks of developing training with most beneficial results is to ensure that students retain the necessary knowledge and skills they will need to succeed. Experiential Learning allows students to learn hands on by trying the skills they are being taught in real life scenarios. Experiential Learning is learning that is taking place because the learner has actually experienced the tasks or activities he or she is trying to learn (Yardley, Teunissen, & Dornan, 2012). For example, the…

Social learning theory is both behaviorism and cognitive theories of learning that not only explains how people learn by observing the behavior of others but is influenced by environmental and cognitive factors. Social learning theory is often considered a stepping stone among two completely different theories of learning. Social learning theory associates behaviorism and cognitive theory of learning. People study behavior by seeing others, then acquire their own thoughts and attitudes about…
