Learning theories and the analogy of
where each plays a role in the learning Bill Kerr (2007) and Karl Kapps (2006).
Behaviorism mainly focuses on certain conditions and operates responses.
Depending on the environment behavior can be modified. There is certain reward
system or some form of penalty associated with stimulus.
Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive development
proved to have flaws and were challenged. Constructivism supports the opinion
that people actively create their own personal subjective representations of
objective reality. There are many new factors that can build information and
mental representations are subjective. In my opinion, these learning theories
can be incorporated in various aspect of everyday life for people. All theories have their pros and cons, which
mean each, must be applied where necessary.
