, Section 1:
1.1 Three learning theories and three key characteristics of each learning theory:
Behaviourism
According to (P Biccard & T Maphumulo 2023) Behaviourism focuses on surface
learning and learning which can be observed rather than complex or unclear
internal processes.
In the application of Behaviourism, the instructor/teacher designs and has
control over the learning environment.
The design focus of this learning theory is mainly passive and responding to
stimuli.
Learning in Behaviourism is being seen as “programming” where activities such
as filling in answers or repetition is important to get the necessary outcome (the
behaviour) (P Biccard & T Maphumulo 2023).
Cognitivism
Our study guide defines cognitivism as focusing on the organisation of memory
and thinking where it views the mind as an information-processing system.
Activities such as comprehension and problem-solving is very useful in this
learning theory (P Biccard & T Maphumulo 2023).
Cognitivism includes any deep processing when exploring and organizing content.
Cognitivism focusses on what happens in the mind and in the application of this
learning theory, the instructor/teacher uses group learning strategies which
manage problem solving and structured search activities.
The design focus of this learning strategy is active processing, storing, and
retrieving of information for important use.
Constructivism
This learning theory is about learning being active and a process of constructing
knowledge rather than only receiving it. Learners bring past experiences and
cultural factors to a current situation to acquire new knowledge.
Constructivism makes the use of collaborative learning and in the applications of
this learning theory, the instructor/teacher mentors learning through peer
interaction and constant building on known concepts.
