What is LEARNING THEORY?
In simple terms, theories of learning are ideas about the ways students
learn and retain information. These principles provide different
frameworks that teachers can use to adapt to students’ diverse
learning styles and academic needs. In addition to helping students
absorb the information being taught, learning theories can also help
teachers manage students’ behavior. This empowers educators to
create an atmosphere that’s more inclusive and conducive to learning
— a skill that’s essential whether teaching online or in a traditional
classroom setting.
 BEHAVIORISM
(John B. Watson)

Behaviorism is a theory of learning based on the

idea that all behaviors are acquired through
conditioning, and conditioning occurs through
interaction with the environment. Behaviorists
believe that our actions are shaped by
environmental stimuli.
In simple terms, according to this school of thought,
also known as behavioral psychology, behavior can be
studied in a systematic and observable manner
regardless of internal mental states. Behavioral theory
also says that only observable behavior should be
studied, as cognition, emotions, and mood are far too
subjective.
 COGNITIVISM
(Jean Piaget)

The Learning Theory of Cognitivism concentrates on how a

person's mind receives, organizes, saves and retrieves
information. The cognitive theory believes that the human
mind functions like an information processor or computer.
Therefore, the cognitivist approach looks beyond noticeable
behaviour, considering learning as an internal mental process.
CONSTRUCTIVISM
(Lev
Vygotsky)
 CONNECTIVISM
George Siemens and Stephen Downes
Connectivism is a relatively new
learning theory that suggests students
should combine thoughts, theories,
and general information in a useful
manner. It accepts that technology is
a major part of the learning process
and that our constant connectedness
gives us opportunities to make
choices about our learning.
It also promotes group
collaboration and discussion,
allowing for different viewpoints
and perspectives when it comes to
decision-making, problem-solving,
and making sense of information.
Connectivism promotes learning
that happens outside of an
individual, such as through social
media, online networks, blogs, or
information databases.

SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY
 ALBERT BANDURA
Albert Bandura (1901–1994) was a psychologist who
developed social learning theory. He studied children in
order to understand how they learn from others. His studies
showed that children imitate each other because they
observe the actions of others and copy them. This process
is called observational learning. Bandura was born in
Poland in 1924. He earned his PhD at Harvard University
in 1954, where he studied social psychology. His most
famous work is Social Learning Theory, published in 1977.
Albert Bandura's Social learning theory is based on
the philosophy that individuals can learn through
observing and imitating the observable behaviour of
others. Psychologist Albert Bandura and Robert Sears
proposed the social learning theory as an alternative
to the previous work of fellow psychologist B.F.
Skinner, was famous as a proponent of the
behaviourist theory.
Social learning theory explains human
behaviour through observation and imitation.
The theory states that humans learn socially,
not just intellectually. This means we learn
from our peers, parents, teachers, coaches,
etc., rather than solely from books.
