Lev Vygotsky
Major characteristics
Types of Learning
Foucses on the impact of social interaction and cultural context in learning (John-Steiner & Mahn, 1996).
Scholar who are learning language, good for building problem solving skills and supports learning from experience (John-Steiner & Mahn, 1996).
How learning occurs
Learning occurs through collaboration and interaction with others. Zone of proximal development also known as ZPD is a important element. ZPD referrs to the gap between what a learner can do on their own and what requies gudiance (John-Steiner & Mahn, 1996).
The role of memory
Meomory is devopled over time. Memory is stregthren through soical interactions and influanced by cultural practice (John-Steiner & Mahn, 1996).
Connectivism Theory
Theorist Associated
Major characteristics
George Siemens
Types of Learning
Focuses on the idea that learning is a process of connecting information across sources and networks. Shows the importance of networks and connections in the learning process (Sa’adi, 2016).
Supports learning through technology; examples are online learning, social media, and other forms of digital interaction (Sa’adi, 2016).
The role of memory
How learning occurs
Memory is seen in reoccouring patterns in a scholars current network. Instead of relying on individual memory, Scholars lean into networks to access information and knowledge (Sa’adi, 2016).
.
Learning occurs through the process of connecting information. Scholars engage in sense-making activities, filtering and interpreting information to create new knowledge (Sa’adi, 2016).
Adult learning theory
Theorist Associated
Major characteristics
Malcolm Knowles
Focuses on self-direction, prior experience, and motivation (Biasin, 2018). Andragogy, a concept found in theory of adult learning, shows the importance of learner autonomy and relevance of learning to adults' lives. (Biasin, 2018)
.
Types of Learning
Supports learning in adult education settings, professional development, and lifelong learning (Biasin, 2018)
.
How learning occurs
The role of memory
Learning occurs through problem-solving, reflection, and connections to real-life situations (Biasin, 2018). This theory supports the notion that adults learn best when they see importance and relevantance in the material presented (Biasin, 2018).
.
Memory is influenced by adults' prior experiences and knowledge. Adults pull from existing knowledge and skills to make connections to new information (Biasin, 2018).
