Compare and contrast behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism as applied to learning.
Summarize at least two sub-theories or ideologies within each theory or learning framework.
Example from behaviorism: associative learning, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, conditioning, extinction, and ratio or interval schedules
Example from cognitivism: schema theory, memory development, elaboration theory (i.e., Bloom’s taxonomy), cognitive load theory, and social learning or cognitive theory.
Example from constructivism: cognitive constructivism, dialectical (social) constructivism, zone of proximal development, and discovery learning
Example from humanism: motivational theories of learning (e.g. self-determination theory, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), experiential learning, and Steiner pedagogy or Waldorf education.
List and explain a minimum of two theoretically supported strategies from the past weeks that would most help you to increase your learning success.
