Today is a continuation of the reports being discussed in clas. Things are being clarified as we go along. Although I've encountered fdifferent theories on my previous classes, I still appreciate knowing them all as a recall. Like the behaviorist theory on which students learn due to external stimulus, and a ceratain condition will be repeated (S-R). For the cognitivism, it it treats the human brain as a computer. The 4 stages of cognitive development by Jean Piaget was also discussed. Since we are talking of cognitivism it involves the Information Processing wherein filtering, processing, selecting and retrieving of information happen. A tip given for this is to engage the students in some meaningful acticities so they can recall it. Next, is the constructivism which simply state and believe that children are scientists, they construct their own works or perception. experts will only act as scaffolding. For the Brain-based learning theory, people learn best when they are solving realistic problems because feedback is best when it comes from reality. Those are only few of the theories we discussed and learn much from them.
