Traditional Learning Theories

the five reponse options aligned to five traditional learning theories: Beahaviorist, Congnitivist, Humanist, Social Learning, and Constructivist. Review your scores below to see the learning theory (or theories) with which you align.

Social Learning  (3 out of 5) Social Learning Theory sounds similar to Humanism, in that learning is based on observing and mimicking others, but it is more closely aligned with the intersection between Cognitivism and Behaviorism. In humanist orientations, the goal is development of self-fulfillment and self-agency for the sake of self-actualization. In Social Learning Theory, the goal is, simply put, to get what others have while avoiding negative outcomes. For this reason, it is more typically associated with children, whose developmental stages focus on rewards and punishment.

Constructivist  (2 out of 5) Constructivists believe that learning is an active process through which a person’s knowledge changes as new information is linked to existing, related knowledge. For example, two persons might have an identical experience, but because of those individual’s previous experiences and the knowledge gained from those previous experiences, each will interpret the identical experience differently and will integrate the new information differently.

For your assignment, write at least one well-developed paragraph for each of the categories of learning activities presented in the Connecting Traditional Learning Theories to Practice module, identifying and explaining your choices and the representative learning tasks you imagined. Also, in these paragraphs, identify your orientation to learning theory and what you understand that orientation to mean. Include an introduction and conclusion in your paper.
