LEARNING THEORIES
TYPES OF LEARNING THEORIES 1. Behavioral Theory 2. Cognitive Theory - Teaching for one to learn 3. Social Learning Theory - Role Modeling Theory - came from the Greek word “Theoria” which means beholding a spectacle or speculation. * An explanation of a phenomena or an abstract generalization that explains the relationship of a phenomena. * Provides professional autonomy and power by guiding and directing the practice education, and research of the profession. Model - a symbolic representation of a presentation. Learning Theories - Its core is composed of concepts and propositions that explain why people learn and predict under what circumstance they will learn.
LEARNING IS:
I. Stimulus-Response or Behavioral * Learning by association between stimuli and response (central focus) * Learning has taken place if there is a change in behavior.
1. Ivan P. Pavlov * Classical Conditioning or Respondent Conditioning * A Russian physiologist who worked on digestive secretions (control of salivary & gastric control) TYPES OF STIMULUS
2. Edward L. Thorndike * Trial and Error/ Learning Connectionism Theory * Learning is through stimulus-response associations from trial and error. * Cats in a puzzle box with food outside – the length of time needed to escape. * Has two laws: * Law of Effect - recurrence of a response is dependent on its consequence. * Law of Exercise - stimulus response associations are strengthened via repetition 3. B.F. Skinner * Operant or Instrumental Conditioning * Reinforcement or Reward * Acquisition of a new behavior through manipulation of rewards & consequence/punishments. * Useful in treatment strategies for mentally handicapped and mentally ill.
