Summary
Sociocultural learning theory, developed by Vygotsky, emphasizes that social interaction is crucial for cognitive development. It highlights the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is the difference between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with help (Loveless, 2023). Memory is shaped through social interactions and cultural tools. Learning happens via dialogue, scaffolding, and collaborative activities (Loveless, 2023). This theory is best for explaining collaborative learning, apprenticeships, and social learning scenarios.

Summary
Connectivism, proposed by Siemens, sees learning as a process of forming connections within a network of information sources (Connectivism, n.d.). It stresses the importance of diverse opinions and the ability to access and connect information rather than memorizing it. Memory is less about retention and more about knowing where to find information (Connectivism, n.d.). Learning occurs through making and nurturing connections within digital and social networks (Connectivism, n.d.). This theory excels in explaining digital learning, online courses, and network-based education.

Summary
Knowles' adult learning theory, or andragogy, suggests that adults are self-directed learners who need to understand the relevance of what they are learning (New England Institute of Technology, 2021). They bring a wealth of experience that serves as a foundation for new learning. Memory plays a significant role, with prior experiences being a rich resource (New England Institute of Technology, 2021). Learning happens through practical, problem-solving activities that apply to real-world scenarios (New England Institute of Technology, 2021). This theory is particularly effective in professional development, continuing education, and vocational training contexts.
