Learning Theories by Karina Lopez https://padlet.com/karinaaalopez027/a7pa1n4cq0ch35yg When reading the theories in depth, I recalled many of my past teachers using the Behaviorism theory. Reading about all these theories is pretty cool because we get to choose what kind of learning we want to teach. I honestly think I could benefit from all theories and pick a little here and a little there. en-us 2023-01-26 20:11:35 UTC 2023-01-27 04:02:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Behaviorism theory karinaaalopez027 https://padlet.com/karinaaalopez027/a7pa1n4cq0ch35yg/wish/2458181632
  • It consists of change in behavior  due to the acquisition, reinforcement, and application. 
  • When one does good it is rewarded and their good behavior will be repeated.
  • When there is a behavior issue and there is a punishment, it’ll occur less.
    • Example: students are asked to follow directions and sit quietly. The teacher will notice who is following directions and will hand them a Pom Pom. Pom Poms can be handed throughout the week to encourage following directions. At the end of the week if a student receives at least 5 Pom Poms they get a reward. This will encourage them to keep following directions and it will also be great for those that didn’t get a reward to keep trying and follow directions.

    Example: the teacher presents a problem but instead of giving them a solution, the students get the chance to think and reflect on their own methods of problem solving. 
    Give a hungry infant their bottle with the lid on and have them figure out that they need to take the lid off before drinking.

  • Experimental learning is suggested to be a self- initiated learning. The four points Carol Roger’s stated were that 1) learning can only be facilitated and we cannot teach each other directly, 2) learners become more rigid under threat, 3) a great learning experience occurs in an environment where the threat to the learners is reduced to a minimum, and 4) the learning is most likely to last when it is self-initiated. 
    •        
    Example: you could have an outdoor learning activity, a drama/theatre center, creative games, etc.

  • This theory challenges the understanding of intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Every persons level of intelligence consists of many district “intelligence”. The intelligence are logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, & interpersonal. 

    • Example: in your classroom include a reading area, music time, math area, experimental area, include physical activities, etc.

  • This theory states that it is within communities that learning occurs most effectively. Mr. Sergiovanni reinforces the idea that learning is most effective when it takes place in communities. The academic and social outcomes will improve only when classrooms become learning communities and teaching becomes leaner-centered. 

    • Example: Taking the students to the fire station to learn about safety would be a great opportunity for the firemen to create a relationship with the students. Having a police man come in the classroom and read the students a book. There are many opportunities for students to be involved within the community.

  • This theory is about transforming the goals and daily practice of learning to meet the new demands of the 21st century which is characterized as knowledge- and technologically driven and also defines core subjects. 
  • One main learning method that supports the students skills is group learning or thematic projects which involves inquiry-based collaborative work that addresses real-world issues and questions. 

    • Example: in your classroom include centers that involve critical thinking, communication, creative, and group collaboration.
