Connectivism

Connectism is a learning theory that emphasizes the relationship between the learner and their connection to their information sources (Pappas, 2023). Connectivism was created in order to keep up with learners and their instant access to knowledge through technology (Sa'adi, 2016).

George Siemens

Memory

Siemens is the theorist most popularly associated with Connectivism because he saw a need for educators to respond to the ever changing landscape of technology, which in turn, changed how information was accessed (Pappas, 2023)

SocioCultural

Learning theories

Sociocultural learning theory revolves around the learner's background and their environment (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2016). With sociocultural learning theory, there is a belief that all learning will be influenced and understood by the multi-faceted relationship the learner has with society.

Lev Vygotsky

Memory

Vygotsky is the theorist most popularly associated with Socioultural learning theoy. Taking from what was learned from Baldwin, Dewey, and Mead about children's development, Vygotsky added the importance of a learner's environment to childrens development (Nelson, 2013).

Adult Learning Theory

Malcolm knowles

Memory

Knowles developed andragogy, or adult learning theories, to understand better how adults learned and how it differentiated from how children learned, or pedagogy. Knowles believed that there should be an inherently deeper reason for adults wanting to learner (TEAL, 2011)

Adult learning theories was created in order to answer the question of how adults learned, as opposed to the common focus of how children learn. It centers around self-efficacy, independence, and learning from one's own life experiences (TEAL, 2011).

Adult Learning Theory and Memory

Adult learning theory puts the responsibility of learning on the adult learner. Since this is the case, the learner has to take added steps in order to make sure the information is being committed to memory. This can look like reflecting on what is being learned, conducting self-assessments to check if learning is actually being acquired, and even just creating a strategy for learning.(TEAL, 2011)

Socioculturalism and Types of Learning

Vygotsky believed that make-believe, dialogue with others, and "playing" with ones culture and environment were all modes of learning that would arise with sociocultural learning. These types of learning allow for learners to learn from others and their environment in a safe way. (Ornstein & Hunkins, 2016)

Connectivism and Types of Learning

Connectivism translates well into the e-learning realm due to its relationshop to technology and networks. In the e-classroom, this may look like discussion forums and collaborative posts. In the traditional in person classroom, connectivism could look like research being down on the internet and presentations being created using online resources. (Pappas, 2023)

Socioculturalism and How Learning Occurs

With Socioculturalism, learning occurs with learners interact with one another and their environment. Learners learn from their culture, the beliefs from where they come from, and the languages they know. Learning is almost a response from their own perspectives that have developed over time as they interact with the world. (Nelson, 2013)

Adult Learning Theory and How Learning Occurs

With Adult Learning Theory, learning occurs through "self-directed learning". This is a style of learning that puts the learner in control of the knowledge they are gaining. Knowles believed that for adults to learn, they had to be motivated to learn and willing to make decisions for their own learning and what suits them best in their educational journeys. (TEAL, 2011)

Socioculturalism and Memory

Memory occurs within the context of the learner and their environment. The learner's environment includes but is not limited to the people they are learning with, the people they are learning from, the environment they are learning in, and what language background they come from. Memory can also depend on what activities are taking place to stimulate learning. (Nelson, 2013).

Connectivism and How Learning Occurs

With Connectivism, learning occurs with learners interact with their modes of information. Their modes of information can come from online communities, social media, and virtual learning platforms (Sa'adi, 2016). Learning can occur formally like with a classroom or informally through the learner's peers and social media.

Adult Learning Theory and Types of Learning

Adult learning theory can lend itself to online learning programs that are similarly structured to Grand Canyon University's model where the pace of a class is almost dictated by each individual learner. Most post-secondary schools and programs are also catered to adult learning since it is dependent on an adult's motivated to learn more.

Connectivism and Memory

Because learners are inundated with a rapid amount of information, managing information and memory can be difficult through connectivism. There is the possibility of synthesizing information when learners use their networks to dig deeper into their knowledge building.
