THREE LEARNING THEORIES AND HOW IT CAN BE APPLIED IN TEACHING

Assalamualaikum.....

First of all, I would like to thanks to Dr. Sharifah Sariah Syed Hassan 

(our most kind hearted lecturer of  instructional technology) 

as she had give me this big opportunity to create an interesting blog of education. 

Guessing it is hard to be done is just a load for me actually. Till then,I realise that,

 this is actually the other alternative for a professional teacher teach their student. 

Well, the task given by my lovely lecturer is all about the theories. Theories???

 I keep questioning why an educator have to really understand about those theories??? 

Is that really important??

Well this is how it goes...

       A THEORY??? 

         Here we go! Exploring the world that gives you thousand views and knowledge. Okay, let us just get going with those pictures to get the rough ideas about a theory.

                                                             

* a theory is the main objective???

     or is it......

* just a significant of fun???

                                                         

Okay,just stop dizzying yourself with those pictures.

 This is what we called a theory :

A theory is based on hypothesis and usually it comes from a scientist who have their own evidences,

whereas learning theory is the way 

a person or animal learn of something.
Between science theory and psychology theory,

there is a lot of differences that we should know.
For psychology theory,there are two elements that had been counted which are describing one's behavior and also make predictions about future behavior.


********************

Next, in learning theories,there are three famous theories that always 

being discussed by lecturers and students.

And they are.......

1) BEHAVIORISM :

Meaning : Behaviorism is the theory of learning that based on the environment stimuli. In the early, a learner is essentially passive. Continuous reinforcement to a learner will shaped the behavior of a learner. Either positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement influence the increasing of possibility of an event happening again.


How To Apply : As a teacher,we can apply this theory through every lesson we taught in school. For example, a teacher should give her or his student immediate feedback in the class.Another example is give the students from a very simple task to a complicated task and rate them by giving reinforcement.

2) CONSTRUCTIVISM : 

Meaning : Constructivism theory is that a learner can construct his or her own understanding of the world they live in based on experiences.To be simple,constructivism theory is a learning process that adjusting our mental models to adapt with new experiences.


How To Apply : In a lesson, a teacher should encourage communication between the teacher and the students and also between the students. Besides, a teacher also must provide enough time for students to construct their own meaning when learning something new.

3) COGNITIVISM : 

Meaning : Cognitive theory emphasizing the idea that individuals do not just passively absorb information, but, rather, interact with information constructing their own individual meanings from it to form knowledge. This theory involved physical acquisition, processing and organization of knowledge, neural structures, in addition to environmental conditions. 

How To Apply : As a teacher, we should be able to vary the concept of information processing theory in order to arrange learning material and help student memorize,we also need to organize new information and relate to existing memory.Lastly, a teacher should encourage student to have active research and give proper help when students have question.

* Congratulations for reading this entry till the end! :)

Well, I guess this is the end for our lesson today. I really hope this will help all of us to be a professional teacher.
Let's practiced those three theories
in our lesson with enjoyment.


  and with that...
i would like
to...
