theories of

learning
Group 1
Cognitivism or cognitive
constructivism

Jean Piaget is known as one

of the first theorists in
constructivism. His theories
indicate that humans create
knowledge through the jean piaget

interaction between their

experiences and ideas.
DEFINITION:
People are seen not as
programmed being that
simply respond to
environment stimuli.
Requires active participation
in order to learn and actions
are seen as a result of
thinking.

 social
constructivism
Based on ideas of Lev
Vygotsky ( 1896-1934) who
believed that learning and
social interactions are what lev vygotsky

form Consciousness and

learning Leads development.
DEFINITION:
Emphasizes the importance of culture and context in
understanding what occurs in society and constructing
knowledge based on this understanding.
Teaches that all knowledge develops as a result of social
interaction and language use, and is therefore a shared,
rather than an individual experience. knowledge is
additionally not a result of observing the world, it results
from many social processes and interactions.
key concepts of social
constructivism
Knowledge is a product of human
interaction.
Knowledge is socially and culturally
constructed that is influenced by
the group and its environment.
Learning is a social activity.
social learning

Albert Bandura is an influential social
cognitive psychologist who is perhaps
best known for his social learning
theory. He is a Professor Emeritus at
Stanford University and is widely albert bandura

regarded as one of the greatest living

psychologists.
DEFINITION:
This theory suggests that people
learn within a social context, and
that learning is facilitated through
concepts like modelling,
observational learning, and
imitation.

 experiential
learning
David Kolb is best known for his work
on the experiential learning theory or
ELT. Kolb published this model in
1984, getting his influence from other david kolb
great theorists including John Dewey,
Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget.
 DEFINITION:
Experiential learning,

also known as
EXL, is the process of learning through
experience, and is more specifically
defined as learning through reflection
and doing. Hands-on learning can be a
form of experiential learning, but does
not necessarily involve students
reflecting on their product.

 multiple
intelligences
Howard Gardner is a developmental
psychologist best-known for this theory
of multiple intelligences. He believed
that the conventional concept of
intelligence was too narrow and howard gardner

restrictive and that measures of IQ often

miss out on other "intelligences" that an
individual may possess.
DEFINITION:
The theory of multiple
intelligences differentiates human
intelligence into specific
modalities, rather than seeing
intelligence as dominated by a
single general ability.

 situated
learning theory
An instructional approach developed
by Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger in jean lave

the early 1990s, and follows the work

of Dewey, Vygotsky, and others
(Clancey, 1995) who claim that
students are more inclined to learn by
actively participating in the learning
etienne wenger
experience.
DEFINITION:
Situated learning theory holds that
effective education requires
learning that is embedded in
authentic contexts of practice,
wherein students engage in
increasingly more complex tasks
within social communities.

Refers to the knowledge, life
skills, career skills, habits, and
traits that are critically
important to student success in
today's world, paticularly as

Significance:
As students develop skills such as
critical thinking and perspective
taking, they will be more flexible and
adaptable in our constantly changing
workforce, increase their ability to
work cross-culturally, and be able to
take on positions of leadership.
 Conclusion
An understanding of learning theories
helps teachers connect to all different
kinds of students. Teachers can focus on
different learning styles to reach different
students, creating teaching that focuses
directly on student needs and aptitudes.
