THEORIES OF LEARNING
There is many ways to learn thing and by using different methods and theories can new knowledge be created. By construction knowledge as a framework as a dynamic internal process, which is created on the including environment/the context, which you’re in, visual language can be used by all senses, whatever method is used.
Definitions of learning:
“The relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due to experience” (Mayer, 1982, p. 1040).
“An enduring changes in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience” (Shuell, 1986, p. 412).
Some learning methods are summarized presented below:
Behaviorism is a process of associating the stimulus with response, which produces a new behavior. This learning method is therefore defined as a change in the behavior of the learner. It focuses on the skills and behavioral outcomes of the learning process.
Cognitivism learning method is based on how information must be presented in a organized mannar to achieve the most effective way to learn. Active participants and use of information as an input for a mind process, which you can use later for learning, are an example to achieve this method of learning. It focuses on the cognitive processes involved in learning as well as how the brain works.
Constructivism is a learning theory that argues that humans construct meaning from current knowledge structures “Constructivism is the study of a learner’s own construction of knowledge”
Connectivismis a learning theory, in which knowledge exists outside of the learner; how we put information between different contexts and find connections, which can build new knowledge.
