Application of behaviorist,

cognitivist, constructivist,
and humanist principles.

MR. JULIUS CAESAR C. LITA

APPLICATION OF BEHAVIORIST IN
EDUCATION
Behaviorism was developed by B.F. Skinner and
this school of thought assumes that the
learning process takes place through
conditioning.
According to him, behavior is a learned
response reinforced by the consequences
resulting from that behavior.
HOW TO USE BEHAVIORISM IN A
CLASSROOM

● Incorporate Behaviorism into Course

Design
● Implement a Classroom Reward System
● Team Up With Other Teachers for Support
● Apply Behaviorism to Classroom Teaching
and Discipline
APPLICATION OF COGNITIVISM IN EDUCATION

Cognitivism involves examining learning,

memory, problem solving skills, and intelligence.
Cognitive theorists may want to understand how
problem solving changes throughout childhood,
how cultural differences affect the way we view
our own academic achievements, language
development, and much more.
 Examples of Cognitive Learning
Strategies
● Asking students to reflect on their experience
● Helping students find new solutions to problems
● Encouraging discussions about what is being taught
● Helping students explore and understand how ideas are connected
● Asking students to justify and explain their thinking
● Using visualizations to improve students’ understanding and recall
APPLICATION OF CONSTRUCTIVISM IN EDUCATION

Learning theory of constructivism incorporates a learning process

wherein the student gains their own conclusions through the creative aid
of the teacher as a facilitator.

In a constructivist curriculum, the educator must make room to

ask open-ended questions. This pushes the learners to look at
things past their factual sense and be able to think critically
about them. In addition, it must incorporate time for students to
be able to process, reflect, and build on what they learned. Real
world examples are often used for students to be able to
inductively grasp concepts.
HOW TO APPLY CONSTRUCTIVISM IN
CLASSROOM

In a Constructivist Classroom, Learning is…

● Constructed
● Active
● Reflective
● Collaborative
● Inquiry-Based
● Evolving
APPLICATION OF HUMANIST IN EDUCATION

The humanistic theory of teaching and learning is an educational

theory that believes in teaching the ‘whole’ child. A humanist
approach will have a strong focus on students’ emotional
wellbeing and eternally view children as innately good ‘at the
core’.
“Self-actualization” is the education aim which is pursued by all of
the humanism educators.
THE ROLE OF TEACHER AND STUDENT IN
HUMANISTIC LEARNING THEORY

Teaching learning skills

Provide motivation for classroom tasks

Provide choices to students in task/subject selection

Create opportunities for group work with peers.
