learning theories wiki

For this activity we were to get into pairs and discuss a learning theory and then construct a PMI chart.
Reflection on own learning
Connectivism- using networking skills to gain new ideas and new colleagues.
Cognitivism can be used by understanding where the learner is at right now and then to work out where to go from there using the correct framework.
Behaviourism -group work requires an equal partnership, so having a reliable personality ensures group work can be done with ease.
Constructivism, in a group, learners will always be at different levels so using this theory will depend where the student is starting from so the scaffolding can be altered more for some and less for others.
Potential learning
Connectivism- by being with a partner lets them bounce ideas off each other and use networking skills to meet new people.
Cognitivism within groups there are always more than one learning styles so being aware of how to deal with a range of learners is critical.
Behaviourism- group work may result in clashes of character therefore this could be linked to behaviour of group members
Constructivism- Learners are not always at the same stage of learning and therefore will be scaffolding their learning from different points.
