INTRODUCTION
Learning can be defined as the process leading to relatively permanent behavioral change or potential behavioral change. In other words, as we learn, we alter the way we perceive our environment, the way we interpret the incoming stimuli, and therefore the way we interact, or behave
![Page 4: Theories of learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb71d94a79592f0b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Definitions: Learning is:1. “a persisting change in human performance or
performance potential (brought) about as a result of the learner’s interaction with the environment” (Driscoll, 1994, pp. 8-9).
2. “the relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due to experience” (Mayer, 1982, p. 1040).
3. “an enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience” (Shuell, 1986, p. 412).

Theories of Learning
Behaviorism
Cognitivism
Social Learning Theory
Social Constructivism

BEHAVIORISM
Confined to observable and measurable behavior
Classical Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
![Page 7: Theories of learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb71d94a79592f0b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Behaviorism Learning is defined by the outward
expression of new behaviors
Focuses solely on observable behaviors
A biological basis for learning
Learning is context-independent
Classical & Operant Conditioning Reflexes (Pavlov’s Dogs) Feedback/Reinforcement (Skinner’s Pigeon Box)
![Page 8: Theories of learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb71d94a79592f0b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BEHAVIORISM IN THE CLASSROOM
Rewards and punishments
Responsibility for student learning rests squarely with the teacher
Lecture based, highly structured
![Page 9: Theories of learning](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061220/54bb71d94a79592f0b8b4590/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cognitivism
Grew in response to Behaviorism
Knowledge is stored cognitively as symbols
Learning is the process of connecting symbols in a meaningful & memorable way
Studies focused on the mental processes that facilitate symbol connection

Cognitive Learning Theory Discovery Learning
2. Powerful Concepts (not isolated facts)
a. Transfer to many different situationsb. Only possible through Discovery Learningc. Confront the learner with problems and help
them find solutions. Do not present sequenced materials.

Cognitive Learning Theory Meaningful Verbal Learning
Advance Organizers:
New material is presented in a systematic way, and is connected to existing cognitive structures in a meaningful way.

Social Learning Theory (SLT)
Grew out of Cognitivism
A. Bandura (1973)
Learning takes place through observation and sensorial experiences
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
SLT is the basis of the movement against violence in media & video games

SLT in the Classroom Collaborative
learning and group work
Modeling responses and expectations
Opportunities to observe experts in action

Social Constructivism in the Classroom
Journaling
Experiential activities
Personal focus
Collaborative & cooperative learning
