There is no theory that more superior than another. All theory are different approaches for us to learn languages and learn how to teach. The main purpose of learning theories are to help with course designing and it influences the educators role during teaching and learning session. All of the learning theories are networked to one another and it has very significant influence on teaching methods and practice. They might differ in perspective of learning but it all helps equip educators to handle a variety of learning situations. It is depend on the teacher to apply appropriate learning theory to different types of students.

Is there any one learning theory which is superior than the other? Provide your justification.

In our opinion, a more superior theory of learning is the connectivism theory because learning does not only happen in classroom. “If they do not learn it in class they will learn it outside”. What they learn in class will only have meaning if they are able to integrate it with what they pick up outside of classes. As it is integrated, we think that it's applicable in most of the situation or context. In making meaning of what we learn, it usually stays with us throughout our lives in addition to us having a deeper understanding of what we have absorbed.

In our opinion, there are no learning theory that is more superior than another. Each theories are based on human opinion and research. This research can change throughout time because of technology and advances. These theories is also used to approach different learning styles and cater to students need as time develops. In order for a person to be balance, all these theories are needed. Therefore, each theories are important as they supports and overlaps another theories in learning.

In our opinion, there are no superior learning theory that is more superior than the rest of the theories. Each theory was based on the facts and research that have been researched by a certain individual. These theories are different from the rest as they contain different approaches that can be applied in many circumstances by people from different perspectives. At the end of the day, it all comes to the usage and application of the theory in classrooms or in universities all around the world

Constructivism is the Superior Learning Theory

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, constructivism is the superior learning theory. This is because, in the classroom, constructivism puts learners in the center of the learning process, and suggests that learners contribute to knowledge construction by activating their prior knowledge and personal experiences when the leaning process takes place. I personally think that it is good learning strategy because this learning theory does not dismiss the active role of the teacher but it modifies that role so that teachers help students to construct knowledge rather than to reproduce a series of facts. Teachers provides tools such as problem-solving and inquiry-based learning activities with which students formulate and test their ideas, draw conclusions and inferences. Constructivism able to transform students from a passive recipient of information to an active participant in the learning process.
