Learning Theories in Education

Learning theories in education. There are 3 context or term used for learning theories. The theories are, Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism. On this blog, you will find explanations and examples for each term.



BEHAVIORISM


Behaviorism involves repeated actions, verbal reinforcement and incentives to take part. It is great for establishing rules especially for behavior management.


An approach to classroom management.


As a teacher, I have taught my students that if I stand in a specific location in the classroom with my arms folded, they will recognize that I am becoming frustrated with the level of noise and will begin to quiet down.



COGNITIVISM


Focuses on the idea that the student process information they receive rather than just responding to a stimulus.


There is still behavior change evident, but this is in response to thinking and processing information.


For example, the teachers can include cognitivism in their classroom such like linking concepts together, linking concepts to real-world examples, discussions and problem solving.



CONSTRUCTIVISM


An adult learner construct learning new ideas based on their prior knowledge and experiences. Student need to have prior base knowledge for constructivist approaches to be effective.


As students construct their own knowledge base, outcomes cannot always be predicted; therefore, the teacher should check for and challenge any misconceptions that may have arisen. When consistent results are required, a constructivist approach may not be the best choice.


Problem-based learning, research and creative projects, and group collaborations are all examples of constructivism in the classroom.

What Is a Lesson Plan and How Do You Make One?

  A lesson plan is a teacher’s daily guide for what students need to learn, how it will be taught, and how learning will be measured. Lesson plans help teachers be more effective in the classroom by providing a detailed outline to follow each class period. This ensures every bit of class time is spent teaching new concepts and having meaningful discussions — not figuring it out on the fly! The most effective lesson plans have six key parts: Lesson Objectives Related Requirements Lesson Materials Lesson Procedure Assessment Method Lesson Reflection Because each part of a lesson plan plays a role in the learning experience of your students, it’s important to approach them with a clear plan in mind. Let’s start with the first part of every lesson plan -- the lesson objectives! 1. Lesson Objectives Lesson objectives list what students will be able to do after completing the lesson. These objectives let you easily tell if your lesson has effectively taught your students new concepts and...
