The Pros And Cons Of Objectivism

Richard Ramirez is without a doubt an individual who plays a role in the social learning theory. Although Ramirez acted alone in his crimes, there is no denying that his cousin’s wisdom and experience was a part of his mental processing. Miguel Ramirez, social learning, and Richard Ramirez are a trio that was inevitable and unavoidable.

Social learning theory differs from Skinner’s learning theory as it recognises the importance of cognition as Albert Bandura believed that we aren’t ‘passive’ learners or accidental learners, we use mental processes to select what we imitate and watch. Social learning theory proposes that we learn through different types of ways which allow us to learn how to behave, the proposals are that we learn through observation as we observe the people around us when they behave in various ways, we learn through modelling or imitation as we think about the relationship between other people’s behaviour and the consequence that it brings, and we also learn through both direct and indirect reinforcement.

Two theories that can be compared are the Social Learning Theory and the Labeling Theory. When comparing these two theories we can use the juvenile crime of stealing to see how the theories are similar and different. The social learning theory basically states that crime like other behaviors is learned. The other theory, labeling states that certain things or children aren’t necessary deviant until society labels them as so. These two theories also have positives and negatives pertaining to how effective they are in the causes of juvenile delinquent behavior.

The skill chosen for evaluation is based on hand hygiene specifically the social hand wash technique. The technique was based on the WHO guidelines from which the assessment tool was developed. The theory used to develop the assessment tool is the behaviorist theory of learning and teaching focusing on Pavlov and Skinner’s theories.

Social learning theory is different to Skinner’s Learning Theory. It highlights the importance of cognition. This means we don’t just accidentally learn something, we use our mental processes to choose what we want to learn and what we need to learn.

In this paper, I have attempted to present an understanding of Pakistan-India conflict by using constructivism theory of international relations. There are many reasons other than strategic reason causing this conflict like differences in ideologies, norms and beliefs. There are also cultural differences between these two nations.

When Bryman describes ontology view, he introduces the objectivism and constructivism as two antithetical dimensions. (p22) However, Saunders 2009 p.119 advocates that positivism can be understood through both ontology and epistemology views. It raises the confusion whether positivism should belong to ontology view and be connected to objectivism like what Bryman said, or positivism should not be tied to objectivism and can also be comprehended through epistemology view like what Saunders proposed. In 2014, Hanson stated that the root of positivism could be constructive instead of being tied only to objectivism. This makes us realize that our thesis might not be limited to the view of Bryman. When we discuss the positivism, we are set to think both in epistemological way and ontological way and then we will distinguish our philosophical choice of view with realism. We will also generally discuss our philosophical choice with the popular business philosophical paradigm.

Learning theories are used every day in classrooms all over America, educational theorist Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, Benjamin Bloom and Jerome Bruner introduced constructivism and social constructivism theories (cognitive development, social development, and developmental). The theories developed by Vygotsky, Piaget, Bloom, and Bruner share similarities and differences, and throughout the years have been compared for educational discoveries. Learning theories are extremely important for educators, because learning is an active process.

Edwin Sutherland and Ronald Aker were important sociologist because of their significant theories that relate to crime and deviance. Sutherland’s differential association theory provided a solid sociological approach to understanding crime, deviance, and challenged many mainstream criminologists who focused exclusively on street crimes. The differential association theory refers to the social interactions with deviant as opposed to conventional others such as, values, attitudes, and techniques of criminal behavior. In 1966 Ronald Aker reformed Sutherland’s idea of differential association to his own theory of social learning, which attempted to introduce the psychological concepts of operant conditioning to the theory. The social learning theory refers to learning as a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation. Throughout this paper differential association and social learning theory will be explored by how each theory relates to the other

Positivism can be understood as the idea that the methods of the natural sciences should be used to study human and social matters. In this essay I will be explaining how positivism gave substance to the idea whilst paying particular attention to the role of induction and deduction. Positivism has had some influence in Education and the essay will attempt to outline and critically discuss some of these influences.

According to John Holland, Ph.D., a psychologist who devoted his entire professional life to researching issues related to career choice and also a professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University, if you can match your job personality type and your work environment; you can improve your success and satisfaction. To put it in a simple word from a job personality standpoint is just like the idea of “birds of the same feather, flock together,” we just need to replace the variable “bird” with “people;” and that people with the same personality type tend to enjoy working with each other. For example, sociable person enjoys working with other sociable people. Same personality type tends to create

Constructivism is not just about transferring information as in traditional learning environment or experience, but engaging the learner and making a connection to the learning. Therefore constructivism is influenced by collaborative efforts of learners and helps learners to retain existing knowledge and information. As the learners put the new experience into practice the data, manageable and valuable.

The researchers are subjected to different theories, methods, and belief systems which are already existing to guide the investigation, inquiry or study. The research tradition or research paradigm is the system that a researcher needs to follow based on type of a research. Research Paradigm can be defined as a belief system which guides the researcher on how the study should be investigated and addressed. The focus of following paper will be on differentiating between three types of research traditions which are positivism, interpretivism and critical realism based on their positions on; reason for research, ontology, epistemology, axiology, and methodology.

Both theories share the understanding that learning is a complex, multi-dimensional system of interactive processes. Many elements need to come together to result in a useful and desirable learning experience. However, the theories differ on a philosophical and organisational level. Lynn’s theory sees learning as many episodes where each results in change or insight. The learning can range from major growth (e.g. change in personality and habits) or a minor one (e.g. development of a skill). However, Darseni’s theory of learning takes a holistic approach, where learning is cumulative and result in developing an individual who is reflective and self-regulated. We will discuss compare and contrast
