Theories of Learning
The Human Memory Model Memory stores Cognitive processes Metacognition
BehaviourismThe theory that explains learning in terms of observable behaviours and how they’re influenced by stimuli from the environment
Social Cognitive TheoryThe theory of learning that focuses on changes in behaviour that result from observing others
ConstructivismThe theory of learning suggesting that learners create their own knowledge of the topics they study rather than receiving that knowledge as transmitted to them by some other source.

Benefits of Constructivism
Children enjoy learning more when actively involved.
Learning works best when concentrating on
understanding and thinking
It gives ownership to the students of what they learn
Engages and stimulates students
Promotes communication and social skills
Challenges in Constructivism
There is not alot of hard evidence to say that constructivist methods work
Critics suggest that constructivist methods are more successful for those students from a privileged background (Concept to classroom, 2004).
Characteristics of Constructivism
Learners construct knowledge that makes sense to them
New learning depends on current understandSocial interaction facilitates learningThe most meaningful learning occurs within real
world tasks
