“First, theory supposes that one can express propositionally one’s understanding of that
which is to be researched into. Second, those propositions are expressed in such a way that
they can be hypothesized and put to the test against experience. Third, the interpretation
of those tests and that experience can be examined critically by others in the light of the
data. Fourth, although it is desirable to make one’s theories as all embracing as possible, it is
often necessary to be satisfied with small-scale and rather tentative and provisional
theoretical positions. Fifth, therefore, the growth of knowledge lies in the constant
formulation of the assumptions and beliefs and in the criticism of these in the light of
evidence or their implications”

Behavioural view of learning (Ivan Pavlov)
When Karen sat for her numeracy test, she started to panic
and fled the room in tears. When the teacher asked her what
happened she explained that her mind had gone a complete
blank and she was unable to focus on the questions. When
the teacher went through the questions with Karen face-to-
face, it was clear she knew the answers and her excellent
results in other tests demonstrated she was not afraid of
exams, but she clearly have a phobia of numeracy tests.
Deal with someone’s fear of a subject by
removing their negative responses to the subject.
■ Getting them to examine the root cause of their negative feelings towards the subject
■ Making them aware of the relevance of the subject
■ Taking out the menace about failing tests by giving some easy tasks where the
individual can achieve a few successes
■ Building up the intensity of the task gradually
■ Making sure that you are generous in your praise when they complete a task

Mr.Harvey is using football as a way of getting young people with behavioural issues to
engage in the learning process. He organized a six-a-side competition in which the winning
team has a penalty shoot-out against each other, with a prize for the individual winner.
Danny, one of the players, suffered with Asperger’s Syndrome. His cognitive development
was below that of his peers and he had difficulty in socializing with others. He was very
passionate about football. Mr Harvey put him in a team with some real hard knocks. His
team won the six-a-side competition and, as they lined up for the penalty shoot-out, the
hardest of the hard knocks whispered to Mr Harvey that they’d rigged it for Danny to win.
The sheer joy on Danny’s face when he scored the winning penalty and the emotion of his
mother telling Mr Harvey he'd never had friends who did that for him before is something
Mr Harvey will never forget.
How to apply Piaget’s theory:
■ Remember, people react differently to learning may not be as a result of their age, but at
what stage they are at in their cognitive development
■ some learners will flourish in group-working whereas others may need more one-to-one
support. So, balance your time so that you can cater all of your students’ needs
■ Encourage students to learn form each other and emphasize that everyone will have
something to offer in the respect
■ Convince them that failing at something doesn’t make them a loser! Important part is
what they learn from the experience
■ Acknowledge efforts as well as achievements

How to apply? (Bates, 2019)
■ Accept that people learn differently; some will have a greater capacity to organize the
knowledge and thus be able to make the associations easier than others.
■ Develop a strategy for dealing with different levels of learners in a class.
■ Use teaching resources/aids to support learning – develop meaningful connections, see
patterns and make sense of new data.
According to Gardner…
■ Human beings have several types of intelligence that form the potential to process
information in a range of different context
■ An individual’s capacity in a particular intelligence will have a direct bearing on the
way they learn.
Therefore….
■ Be aware that students have different strengths and will react differently according to the nature of the
tasks set
■ Allow students the opportunity to tackle assignments in different ways
■ Consider taking students out their comfort zones and approach problems in ways that might not be
compatible with their preferred intelligences.
Multiple intelligences
■ Linguistic : the capacity to understand and use spoken & written language
■ Logical-mathematical : the capacity to analyze problems logically
■ Musical : the capacity to compose, perform & appreciate musical patterns
■ Bodily-kinaesthetic : the capacity to use & interpret expressive movements
■ Visual-spatial : the capacity to recognize patterns and dimensions
■ Interpersonal : the capacity to understand the intentions and desires of others
■ Intrapersonal : the capacity to one’s own feelings, fears and needs
■ Naturalistic : the capacity to recognize and categorize objects in nature
■ Existential : the capacity to tackle deep questions about meaning of life
