According to this theory learning accours through play and social interaction to develop higher-order thinking skills (Allman, 2023.)

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian theorist and the founder for the socialcultural theory.

Vygotsky explains learning best through ZPD. ZPD is where a child learns through being exposed to new content, then being able to apply it and develop the skill with help and lastly being able to do it independently (Allman, 2023.)

Socialcultural

There are three major components of the social cultural thoery. The three concepts are social interaction, language and learning in the ZPD zone (Allman, 2023.).

Memory plays a part in learning along with interactions. Children learn through being exposed to new things and using what they remember from learning to applying it.

Theories explained

The main idea of connectivism is learning through the set of connections built by experiences and actions building a bridge between typical learning and technology based learning (Huezo, 2017.)

George Siemens and Stephen Downes began with this theory in the early 2000's to promot learning through a new technology based lense (Huezo, 2017.)

Major characteristics of this theory is using technology to learn and making connections through social networks and experiences (Huezo, 2017.)

The memory is important becuase learning is done through the brain network and when we learn new things the brain and memory expands to continue building new connections.

Role of memory

Theories explained

Learning is best explained and occurs when the assumptions are put into practice and adults are more involved. Learning occurs through experience more so with mistakes and learning through them. More than anything adult learning is problem centered opposed to being content orientated (Vicki B, Adult learners 2023.)

Malcom Knowles developed the adult learning theory based on five assumptions based on the concept of learning in adults (Vicki B, Adult learners 2023.)

adult learning theory

There are five assumptions being the major characteristics around this theory, being self-concept, experience, readiness to learn, orientation to learn, and motivation to learn (Vicki B, Adult learners 2023.)

Based on what I have learned and read on adult learning theory, memory plays a big rolse as we get odler. We use it to make connections, plan, and problem solve.
