mind‚ teacher’s can utilize the theories of social constructivism‚ individual constructivism‚ and behaviorism to enhance learning in the classroom. Upon observing the different methods of constructivism and behaviorism‚ notable differences are revealed. For example‚ one theory holds cognitive structures in high esteem‚ while the other disregards their importance completely. It appears that there are more differences than similarities between the three theories‚ and it bodes well for teachers to

TOPIC VII QUEUING THEORY Definition A queue can be defined as items awaiting service. Queues may consist of people‚ cars‚ components awaiting machining‚ telephone calls‚ aeroplanes‚ indeed any discrete items. Queues form when the rate of arrival of items requiring service is greater than the rate of service. Queuing theory can be defined as the construction of mathematical models of various types of queuing systems so that predictions may be made about how the system works

LABELING THEORY Sociologyindex‚ Sociology Books 2008 Labeling theory arose from the study of deviance in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s and was a rejection of consensus theory or structural functionalism.

He argued that the process of tagging‚ defining‚ identifying‚ segregating‚ describing‚ and emphasizing any individual out for special treatment becomes a way of stimulating‚ suggesting‚ and

In 1958‚ Walter B. Millon came up with a theory that applies to mostly men called the “Theory of Lower Class Culture as a generating Milieu for delinquency. This theory is also known as the Focal Concerns Theory. About 90% of these men came from a female dominant home which leads them to project their masculinity more than the average man.

BAND THEORY OF SOLIDS According to quantum free electron theory of metals‚ a electron in a metal experiences constant(or zero) potential and free to move inside the crystal but will not come out of the metal because an infinite potential exists at the surface. Bloch Theorem: According to this theorem‚ the periodic potentials due to the positive ions in metal have been considered. (i.e. the electrons moves in a periodic potential provided by lattice). If the electron moves through these ions‚

Two important personality theories are the biological theory and the humanistic theory. The biological theory is based on the premise that all people inherit their characteristics from their family. This theory basically contends that people do not have control over their behaviors because they are genetically pre-determined. The humanistic theory‚ on the other hand‚ is based on the premise that each person has free will to control their actions. This theory does not go along with the idea that behaviors
