It builds on prior knowledge (teaching.berkeley.edu 2016). There are three learning theories ; behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism. Behaviorism is a learning theory that focuses on observable behavior patterns. There are two types of biology classical conditioning and operant conditioning

Child development attributes to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that take place in human beings between birth and adolescence, as the individual advances from dependency to being independent. It is an ongoing process with an expected sequence yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is influenced by the different types of development. Developmental may be highly caused by genetic factors and events during pregnancy life,
especially instructional design (Can, 2009; Powell & Kalina, 2009). This theory is contrasted with behaviorism and cognitivism (Ertmer & Newby, 2013). Vygotsky supported Piaget’s work about learners’ activities in the cognitive development. However, he did not agree that maturation itself enough of a way to allow learners to achieve higher knowledge and skills in their cognitive development. According to Vygotsky’s theory, learners’ knowledge is socially constructed through language (Powell &

What is cognivitism Cognitivism is a learning theory that focuses on “how information is received,stored,organized, and retrieved by the mind. Cognitivism use the mind as a information processor like a computer.For example, instruction should be organized, sequenced , and presented in a manner that is understandable and meaningful to the learner.Cognitivism stress’ retention and recall through the use of quality teaching practises. Cognitivism concentrates on the inward mental activities – opening
his theory, I do believe she has become self-sufficient in many areas. She displayed independent behavior and wanted to do many things for herself, such as opening her own gifts with no help. She is able to feed herself, as she did with her snack. Chevie also walks, talks and expresses herself well for a 24 month old. Chevie’s age of 2 years falls right between Piaget’s periods of cognitive development for birth through 2 years and 2 through 6 years. Although I can apply his cognitive theory
behave psychologists have developed theories that seek to explain this. Social learning theory fathered by Albert Bandura 1971 proposes that humans learn from each other and from their environment. Bandura believes that children learn from adults –models. Similarly Lawrence Kohlberg in his theory on Moral development seeks to prove this very notion. Pre-convention Morality, Conventional Morality and Post- conventional Morality form the bases of Moral Development Theory. Kohlberg is unwavering in his stance
