SECTION 1: OVERVIEW OF THE LEARNING THEORY
1.1 This module introduces you to various learning theories. Name three
learning theories and explain at least three key characteristics of each. (15)
Hint: There are differences between learning theories, learning
techniques, and instructional design models. Please be careful when
answering this question.
Three learning theories and their key characteristics are:
Behaviorism: This theory focuses on the external behaviors that can be observed
and measured. Key characteristics include:
Learning is the result of stimuli-response associations.
Reinforcement is used to strengthen desirable behavior and extinguish undesirable
behavior.
The learner is passive and responds to external factors.
Cognitive Learning Theory: This theory emphasizes the mental processes involved
in learning. Key characteristics include:
Learning involves the acquisition and retention of knowledge.
Learners actively process information through their sensory and perceptual
systems.
Learning is facilitated by prior knowledge and meaningful connections.
Constructivism: This theory focuses on the active construction of knowledge by
learners. Key characteristics include:
Learning is a dynamic process that involves the construction of new knowledge
based on prior experiences and interactions.
Learners actively construct their understanding of the world through interactions
with others and the environment.
