Theories and perspectives

Theories give us perspectives, they are little windows of a house, those give us differents points of view. There are 3 perspectives:

Behaviousrisim: That use mind as a little box. The type of learning is regular and has expected responses  the instructions are repetition and reinforcement, that mean that practice make perfect.

Cognitivisim: use mind as a computer. The type of learning is recall stored information, long term memory . the instruction is to grab someone attention and help him to storage it

Constructivisim: use mind as a rhizome  interconected modes: differnts skills and abilities learning knowlesge by building by doing. The instruction is guiding problem solving.

There are 2 mayor types of theories:

DESCRIPTIVES : THEY TRY TO EXPLAIN “What is learning” It is a learning theory that describes what is learning and  how its happends

Prespective: Focus on “how do we help people to learn” it is an instructive theory and consist in giving us methods to foster learning.

BOTH OF THEM HELP US TO DEVELOP THEORIES
