1. The theory of learning : Learning is the gain of skills or knowledge. Learning is a active process. 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. Classical conditioning is a response to a stimuli. Operant conditioning is the response before the stimuli is presented. Cognitivism is a learning theory that focuses on the human thought process and are in response to behaviorism. Last but not least is constructivism it is the theory of how people learn(slideshare.net 2011)
1.1.2 Theory of development: Development means to improve or better something and is sometimes a series of stages. Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development state that the child’s development is related to age. Sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) explains the that the child is only being to gain understanding of things and has no prior knowledge but is born with a predisposition to acquire knowledge and understanding. stage (2-7years) a basic understanding is formed and development of identity. Concrete operational a much more complex understanding of knowledge …show more content…

    Skinner in 1938.Operant conditioning is a form of learning which explains the relation of behaviors on certain rewards and consequences. The study of the theory only deals with expressible behaviors and not any internal mental thoughts and brain mechanisms. Operant Conditioning works by applying two major concepts, Reinforcements and Punishments, after the behavior is executed, which causes the rate of behavior to increase or decrease. Skinner’s Skinner box experiment with a rat is the base for operant conditioning theory and its concepts. The main principle comprises changing environmental events that are related to a person's behavior.

CDT considers that, “…a form of knowing always consists of a relationship or temporary equilibrium between the subject and the object in one’s knowing” (Kegan, 2009, p. 53). Kegan’s constructive-development theory is based on the key ideas of people making sense of the reality in which they live and that they can develop over time with appropriate developmental supports. Kegan’s (2009) theory consist of five stages “of knowing”.

    According to his theory, individuals are born without built-in knowledge. Everybody learns through experience, perception and parental guidance. One answer to providing more effective circumstances to children could be a much more self-critical, reflective and differentiated strategies of instruction developed through meaningful observations, noticing and recognizing what is important, influencing and significant to the child and about the child, and reacting in a supportive way. This kind of healthy interaction between individual child’s genes and the environmental context in which they develop would mean a good initial start. Moreover, chances of positive pathways in life seem to be enhanced by heredity vulnerabilities and complex behaviors.
