The primary instructional strategies a teacher uses are lectures and rote learning with worksheets and homework. what is the learning theory that aligns with this style.

Behaviorism

Which methods of instruction are well aligned with constructivism?

Experimental learning, discovery, scaffolding

Humanism

-Personal Growth, emotional and psychological well-being as integral to learning

- student-centered learning, discussions, self-reflection activities, growth assignments

-Maslow

Connectivism

- The importance of connections and networks through the learning process ( content, sources, people, groups )

-self-directed quest for content, sharing of content and sources, learning groups, collaborative knowledge creation

-Siemens, Downes

Constructivism

-Students construct their knowledge through experiences and social interactions

-Discovery, group work, scaffolding, self-guided learning based on personal experience, peer grading/ review

- piaget, vygotsky

Cognitivism

-how people process info and construct knowledge

- the mind is like a computer, receiving, storing, and retrieving info

-lecture, visual tools, memorization, multiple choice, and essay assessment

-Merrill, Bruner

Behaviorism

- Students receive info from the teacher (listening, reading, watching)

- lecture, drill, and practice, multiple choice tests

Blooms Taxonomy

- helps students progress through different stages of learning building on previous knowledge

- remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create

Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development

- The gap between what a learner can do independently and what they can do with help

-Scaffolding: breaks down new info into small peices, and providing support to help the learner master the skill

Skinner's theory of operant conditioning

-behavior is learned and modified based on consequences

- a dog is given a treat for sitting on command, increasing the likelihood of them sitting when asked (positive reinforcement)
