Theorists Presentation

Outline of Educational Learning Theories and Theorists

Theorist

Theory

Description

Ausubel

Subsumption Theory

Mechanism by which new material presented in academic settings (lectures) can be integrated into existing mental structures. For subsumption to occur, the presentation of new knowledge should be preceded by “advance organizers.”

Bandura

Observational Learning Theory

Behavior can be learned through observation of others.

Bruner

Constructivist Theory

Individuals actively construct knowledge by comparing new ideas or concepts with their current knowledge (schema or mental models).

Comenius

Pansophism

(universal knowledge)

The idea that learning, emotional, and spiritual growth are interwoven. Proposed teaching through stimulation of the senses, not merely through memorization. Considered the “Father of Modern Education.”

Dewey

Learning by Doing

Learning occurs through experience.

Erikson

Socioemotional Development

Erikson’s “Eight Stages of Man” describes a series of crises individuals pass through at different ages. The stages begin with “trust versus mistrust” in infancy and continue through a series of paired outcomes for each age through older adulthood.

Festinger

Cognitive Dissonance

Inconsistencies between behaviors and beliefs motivate people to change. One basis for constructivism.

Freud

Levels of Consciousness

The mind operates at different levels: conscious versus unconscious. He further subdivided the mind into the id (primitive motivations), ego (logical portion of the mind which acts to satisfy the id – when possible), and the super-ego (the conscience).

Gagne

Conditions of Learning

For different kids of learning (motor skills, verbal skills) different conditions are needed, so different strategies should be used.

Gardner

Multiple Intelligences

Each individual possesses seven distinct and measurable forms of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, and interpersonal.

Kohlberg

Stages of Moral Development

Pre-Conventional – based on self-centered interests

Conventional – based on conformity to local expectations

Post-Conventional – based on higher principles

Locke

Tabula Rasa

The idea that individuals are “blank slates” on which teachers could “write” knowledge. A forerunner of behaviorism.

Maslow

Hierarchy of Needs

Humans naturally strive to satisfy needs. The five levels of needs, from lowest to highest, are:

physiological, safety, love, esteem, self-actualization.

Lower level needs must be satisfied before the individual can move on to satisfy higher level needs.

Miller

Information Processing Theory

Short term memory can only hold 5-9 “chunks” of information at a time. A chunk can be any meaningful idea like a word, an identifiable image, or a digit.

Pavlov

Classical Conditioning

(Behaviorism)

The association of new responses with existing stimulus-response pairs. Classic example is pairing the ringing of a bell with presentation of food to dogs. After repeated pairing, the dogs will salivate upon hearing the bell (even if food is not presented). Original stimulus (S) response (R) pair is food — salivate. New S-R pair is bell — salivate.

Piaget

Genetic Epistemology

Developmental stages of child development:

0-2 years: “sensorimotor” – motor development

3-7 years: “preoperation” – intuitive

8-11 years: “concrete operational” – logical, but non-abstract

12-15 years: “formal operations” – abstract thinking

Rogers

Experiential Learning

Two types of knowledge: academic and experiential. Unlike academic knowledge, experiential knowledge is acquired to meet the needs of the learner, usually to complete an important, real-life task. Example: Learning to drive a car.

Skinner

Operant Conditioning

(Behaviorism)

Learning is the result of changes in behavior. As stimulus-response cycles are reinforced, individuals are “conditioned” to respond. Distinguished from Connectionism because individuals can initiate responses, not merely respond to stimuli.

Thorndike

Connectionism

(Behaviorism)

Learners form associations or connections between a stimulus and a response. Through trial and error, rewarded responses would be strengthened.

Vygotsky

Social Development Theory and ZPD

Social interaction is critical for cognitive development. Related to this is the idea of a “Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).” Some skills, an individual can perform independently. Other skills can be performed if the individual has assistance. Skills that can be performed with assistance are said to be within an individual’s ZPD. The ZPD is the theoretical basis for scaffolding.

Watson

Behaviorism

Proposed that most human learning and behavior was controlled by experience (not genetically pre-determined). Believed the only behaviors that should be studied are the “observable” ones.

Wertheimer

Gestalt Theory

Some ideas can only be understood as part of a “bigger picture” Important in problem-solving.
