Starter Task

Explain the learning theory of Cognitivism.

• Cognitivism focuses on observable behaviors and external stimuli.

• Cognitivism emphasizes the role of mental processes in understanding how people learn.

• Cognitivism is a theory that suggests learning is a passive process.

• Cognitivism is primarily concerned with the emotional aspects of learning.

The learning theory of Behaviourism is explained by which of the following concepts?

• Classical Conditioning

• Cognitive Development

• Social Learning

• Constructivism

Explain the learning theory of Constructivism.

• Constructivism is a theory that suggests learners construct knowledge through experiences and reflections.

• Constructivism is a theory that emphasizes rote memorization and repetition.

• Constructivism is a theory that focuses on the role of teachers as the primary source of knowledge.

• Constructivism is a theory that promotes learning through standardized testing.

The learning theory of Humanism focuses on:

• Cognitive processes

• Behavioral changes

• Personal growth and self-actualization

• Social interactions

Explain the learning theory of Experiential.

• Experiential learning is a process through which students develop knowledge and skills from direct experiences.

• Experiential learning is a theoretical approach that focuses on the role of teachers in the learning process.

• Experiential learning is a method that emphasizes memorization and repetition.

• Experiential learning is a strategy that relies solely on digital tools for education.

Explain the learning theory of Connectivism.

• Connectivism is a learning theory that emphasizes the role of social and cultural context in how and where learning occurs.

• Connectivism is a learning theory that focuses on the use of technology and networks to facilitate learning.

• Connectivism is a learning theory that prioritizes individual learning styles and personalized education.

• Connectivism is a learning theory that integrates behaviorist and cognitive approaches to learning.

Which one of the theories we discussed last week best fits a topic/course you deliver? Theories: Cognitivism, Behaviourism, Constructivism, Humanism, Experiential, Connectivism.

• Constructivism

This theory links to your curriculum because:

• It is directly related to the topics covered.

• It has no connection to the curriculum.

• It contradicts the curriculum.

• It is an optional topic.

In the assignment: What teaching methods do you use and why?

• Lecture-based teaching

• Interactive teaching

• Project-based learning

• Flipped classroom

In the assignment: Talk about active/passive methods.

• Active methods involve direct engagement, while passive methods involve observation.

• Active methods are less effective than passive methods.

• Passive methods require more resources than active methods.

• Active methods are only used in theoretical contexts.
