A learning theory incorporates principles which aim at explaining changes in human performance, providing a set of instructional strategies, tactics, techniques to select from and the foundation for how and when to choose and integrate the strategies5. Learning theories offer insights into “what promotes learning effectiveness and how students learn”. Learning theories are based on principles that can guide effective teaching practice and facilitate deep versus surface learning”. Thus, to have the disposition that is required to be acquired by the learner, curriculum designers need to consider relevant and appropriate learning theories during curriculum design and implementation.
The more learning theories are integrated in the curriculum

Secondly, the course designers need to determine the order of learning commands conditionally, or unconditionally in the selection of the items to be learned and students must be tested to determine whether the learning outcomes achieved. Finally, demonstration of procedures or steps shown to students before expecting students to do the same behavior. Students need to repeat the action over and over time to increase …show more content…
Constructivism learning theory is defined as active construction of new knowledge based on a learner 's prior experience. The research agrees that constructivism learning theory, which emphases on knowledge construction based on learner 's previous experience, is a good fit for e-learning because it ensures learning among learners. Experience and social interaction plays an important role in the learning process13. Constructivism has suggested a method in which the learning environment can be compiled and managed to provide students with the best context for learning14. Learning involves active student with knowledge and find work involves designing. To ensure learning theory can be applied in learning materials, the teaching staff must provide instructions online so that students can build their own knowledge and learning will be meaningful if examples and case studies
Running Head: Model Comparison Instructional Development Models Comparison: Concept Attainment Model and Concept Development Model Caner ŞAHİN COMPARISION OF TWO SAMPLE INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS First instructional model: Concept Attainment Model The concept attainment model based on research of Jerome Bruner, Jacqueline Goodnow and George Austin which was reported in the landmark work A Study of Thinking (1986).
“Until we get equality in education, we won’t have an equal society.” (Justice Sonia Sotomayor) Public education in the United States is intended to provide quality education to all students, therefore, providing all children with the chance to pursue academic success and lifelong opportunities. However, the educational experiences and the quality of education that students in the United States receive are often far from equal. While many factors impact the educational experiences of students, there is one factor that warrants deep examination: socioeconomic status. The discussion of socioeconomic status and its relationship to education has been one that many have struggled to come to a consensus on.
Assessment for learning Theoretical and historical perspective linking to practice: There have been several theorists who have developed their theories, and have explained their key ideas, and their teachings, learnings, and assessments. Every theory with their own limitations provides their vision, and interpretation of different complex issues. These theories can be used by the educators to resolve their daily issues, and contexts. One of the behaviorist theory advocated by Skinner provides the key idea that behavior can be learned and unlearned, and/or can be replaced with appropriately acceptable behavior. According to him, a child’s behavior reflects the relevant responses they get against behaviors’.
The Lesson In “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, a preteen named Sylvia is taken to a field trip with a group of friends by an educated woman named Miss Moore in hopes to motivate them to become successful. While Sylvia prefers to do something better with her summertime, she becomes aware of the vast financial gap between the wealthy and poor. Miss Moore conveys the message of working hard through education to achieve dreams. Through the elements of character, setting, and conflict, Sylvia begins to realize her intelligence is powerful and can be used for success.
Developing and Process of Developing Unit Outline Establishing a starting point for this assignment was far more difficult than I anticipated. During this semester, I am acquiring countless new resources and teaching tools all while simultaneously reaching a more profound insight into pedagogical theories such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiation. These new insight into theoretical knowledge coupled with the excitement of the soon approaching student teaching practicum is creating a certain anxiety in which I feel the need to use all this new information all at once. Nonetheless, I recognize that this overly enthusiastic urge is not only unrealistic, but also counterproductive still, the desire to "get it right" for the
My Practice Currently, a substitute teacher I teach five to thirteen year old students with and without special educational needs. I take on many different roles while substitute teaching and enjoy discovering, investigating and reflecting upon these vastly different classrooms and schools. This essay will explore a mixture of learning theories used in diverse contexts which are perceived as precursors or complimentary to one another. I have come to observe that my practice reflects a multitude of learning theory relationships, particularly; behaviourism, humanism, cognitivism, choice theory and social-constructivism.
This essay explains how to develop learning, teaching and assessment strategies to support the student to achieve a successful outcome. Cassidy & Kreitne (2009) defines learning styles as a range of contested and competing theories that account for variations in a person 's’ education. There are three main learning styles, the visual learners, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Visual learners mainly learn through seeing. They exhibit visual skills that are demonstrated in writing, reading, painting, sketching, manipulating images, fixing, interpreting visual images, have a good sense of direction and also create visual analogies and metaphors.
Constructivism Constructivism as a prototype posits that learning is an active constructive process.
Lessons are designed according to students learning difficulties. Students’ prior knowledge is assessed through the pre-tests and interviews as assessment tools to inform the content of the lessons. According to Hodge (2010), the key component of an effective lesson is when the teacher understands and knows about the topic. As Variation Theory using learning study is collaborative in its nature, teachers gain more knowledge on the topic as they discuss and meet to share their past experiences about teaching the topic before proceeding to the
Understanding what they are learning is how students become better
This theory is concerned with how individuals learn large amounts of meaningful material from verbal/textual presentations in a school setting in contrast to theories developed in the context of laboratory experiments. According to Ausubel, learning is based upon the kinds of super ordinate, representational, and combinatorial processes that occur during the reception of information. He also explains that new learning or acquisition of knowledge is related to relevant ideas in the existing cognitive structure. Cognitive structures represent the residue of all learning experiences; forgetting occurs because certain details get integrated and lose their individual identity. Constructivist Learning Theory.
They put forth that learning is to a substantial extent, based on information presented in a sequential and organized manner to students. This thought enhances meaningful learning, comprehension and retaining of the acquired
Vygotsky's (1978) and Gardner's (2006) theories underlie differentiated instruction, which accommodates the learning according to students individual needs to maximize students' potential (Burkett, 2013; Tomlinson, 2014; Tomlinson & Moon, 2013; Watts-Taffe et al., 2013). While differentiating, Tomlinson (2014) states that teachers address students' varied points of readiness, interest and learning profile by providing appropriate alternatives and choices for students in four areas of differentiation: the content, the process, the product, and the
1-Introduction Today, technology has developed a lot and invaded every field of our life. One of the fields affected by this progress in technology is education. Now online learning is one of the aims that is achieved in education sectors all over the world. This is a way of learning by which learning is done through the internet. There is no need for students to go to school or university in order to learn something new.
Education is necessary for all students. It is a tool which can be used to enhance one's learning and to provide students with experiences inside the classroom to prepare them for later in their life. Teachers are an indispensable figure in the classroom and are called as leaders of the next generation. Everything done in the classroom helps develop children into the citizens they will become. It is essential to understand that students have difference in need, ability, and success rate, but they are all special in their own way.
