MIND THEORY (Christian Wolff, 1734)
CONNECTIONIST’S THEORY
(Stimulus-Response) - Thorndike
BEHAVIORISM (Ivan Pavlov)
INTEGRATION THEORY (Gestalt)
PROGRESSIVISTS THEORY (John Dewey)
POINT OF VIEWS
8. MIND THEORY
8
. THE MIND HAS
THE POWERS OF
REMEMBERING
AND THE
POWER OF
PERCEIVING
RELATIONS.
9. CONNECTIONIST’S
THEORY
9
.. LEARNING OCCURS
THROUGH A CHANGE IN
THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN A PARTICULAR
STIMULUS AND A
RESPONSE; THUS THIS
THEORY REGARDS
CONNECTIONS AS THE
KEY TO THE
UNDERSTANDING OF THE
LEARNING PROCESS
11. INTEGRATION
THEORY
11
.LEARNING IS CONSIDERED
AS THE ACQUISITION OF
KNOWLEDGE, ABILITIES,
HABITS AND SKILL
THROUGH THE
INTERACTION OF THE
WHOLE INDIVIDUAL AND
HIS TOTAL ENVIRONMENT
OR SITUATION. IT MEANS
THAT RESPONSES MUST
BECOME AN INTEGRAL
PART OF THE ACTIVE
UNIFIED SELF IN MEETING-
LIFE’S DEMANDS.
12. PROGRESSIVISTS
THEORY
12
ACCORDING TO THIS
THEORY, UNLESS THE
LEARNER CAN BE
INVOLVED IN THE
SITUATION, UNLESS HE
CAN BE GUIDED TO THINK,
TO FEEL, AND TO ACT IN
WAYS APPROPRIATE TO
THE SITUATIONS, IT IS
NOT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO
LEARN THESE REACTIONS.
13. THREE
BASIC
TYPES OF
LEARNING
THEORY
13
BEHAVIORISM
COGNITIVE
CONSTRUCTIVISM
SOCIAL
CONSTRUCTIVISM
View of
Knowledge
Knowledge is a
repertoire of
behavioral responses to
environmental stimuli.
Knowledge systems of cognitive
structures are actively
constructed by learners based on
pre-existing cognitive structures.
Knowledge is constructed
within social contexts through
interactions with a knowledge
community
View of
Learning
Passive absorption of a
predefined body of
knowledge by the
learner. Promoted by
repetition and positive
reinforcement.
Active assimilation and
accommodation of new
information to existing cognitive
structures. Discovery by learner
is emphasized.
Integration of students into a
knowledge community.
Collaborative assimilation and
accommodation of new
information.
View of
Motivation
Extrinsic, involving
positive and negative
reinforcement.
Intrinsic; learners set their own
goals and motivate themselves to
learn.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic.
Learning goals and motives are
determined both by learners
and extrinsic rewards provided
by the knowledge community
Implication
for Teaching
Correct behavioral
responses are
transmitted by the
teacher and absorbed
by the student.
The teacher facilities learning by
providing an environment that
promotes discovery and
assimilation/accommodation.
Collaborative learning is
facilitated is guided by the
learner. Group work is
encouraged.
14. This implies that teaching of
Physical Education and other
disciplines should be anchored to
various Learning Theories in
order to produce effective and
productive results.
GENERAL IMPLICATION
15. Through the adaption of different
teaching strategies which are
anchored to various learning
theories would enhance the skills
and talents of our clientele which
are very vital in their
development as individuals.
CONCLUSION
16. Don't limit a child
to your own
learning, for he
was born in
another time. 16
