Personal Learning Experiences
Elementary school learning experience Having a terrible memory means that I don't tend to remember a whole lot from my childhood, especially the part being in elementary school. One vague memory of a learning experience in elementary school was of an authentic experience during an ESL lesson. We were learning this obscure language called English,...
Behaviorism
Definition Behaviorism is a learning theory that came to prominence in the late 19th century and which asserts that learning is a process where an individual's behavior is shaped and reinforced by a given stimulus in the environment. Behaviorists argue that the mind is a black box that cannot be understood reliably, and that the...
Constructivism
Definition Constructivism is a learning theory that asserts that learning is an active process that builds upon prior knowledge or experience, and through interaction with the environment and other individuals (Mcleod, 2018).((Mcleod, S. A. (2018, June 6). Jean Piaget's theory and stages of cognitive development. Simply Psychology. Retrieved February 19, 2023, from https://www.simplypsychology.org/piaget.html)) It assumes...
Cognitivism
Definition Cognitivism builds upon constructivism in that it acknowledges the presence of prior knowledge, and the need to build upon it. As with social constructivism, social cognitivism also highlights the importance of the social factor in learning (McLeod, 2016).((Mcleod, S. (2016, February 5). Bandura--Social Learning Theory. Simply Psychology. Retrieved 19 February 2023, from https://www.simplypsychology.org/bandura.html)) Where...
Connectivism
Definition Connectivism is a new learning method that is not yet universally accepted as a learning theory. It came to prominence with the rise of the internet and personal computers which made e-learning and blended or flipped learning solutions possible. Under this model of learning, learners form networks where knowledge is discovered online and shared...
Andragogy
Definition Andragogy is a method of learning which focuses on adult education as opposed to child education. According to Knowles, adults have different learning preferences compared to children mostly because they are self-motivated (Pappas, 2013, Knowles’ 5 Assumptions).((Pappas, C. (2013). The Adult Learning Theory - Andragogy - of Malcolm Knowles. eLearningIndustry.com. Retrieved 19 February 2023,...

Comparing Learning Theories
Introduction I would like to start by taking a few steps back and take a look at the evolution of humanity in the last ten thousand years, and by extension, the role of education in the progress of our species. There is no question that the development of language was, and still is, instrumental to...
Microlearning Project
Tool introduction The tool I decided to showcase for this project is Adobe Illustrator which is a vector graphics tool that is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of creative software. This tool used is used by graphic artists to create vector based assets for many different kinds of applications ranging from mobile app,...
LDT100x Final Reflection
My learning journey As an individual, learning theories have been an integral part of my own learning journey. Starting in elementary school, teachers would employ behaviorism by rewarding us with points for correct answers and good behavior (and take them away if we misbehaved). As soon as we were old enough, we engaged in social...
