Theories of Learning Behaviorist Perspective Adlawan, Jezelle Jane- Thorndike Anglin, Andrew - Tolman Dura, Joyce - Bandura Morales, Arlene - Watson Santiago, Ram - Skinner
Skinner’s Operant Conditioning Features Cues for teaching Repetitive behavior = positive reinforcement Shaping Reinforcement produce secondary stimuli Stimulus – response + reinforcement = learning Gradual steps = learning eg. Oral recitation – question and answer
Thorndike’s Connectionism Features Cues for teaching LAWS of -Effect [S-punishment; reward-R] -Exercise [S-practice-feedback-enhancement-R] -Readiness [S-readiness-R] Behavior + punishment = no learning Behavior + reward = learning Practice + feedback = learning preparedness + Stimulus = learning
Watson’s Conditioning Features Cues for teaching Unconditioned stimulus – unconditioned response Conditioned stimulus – conditioned response Stimuli-response + conditioning = learning Association of things/person/experien-ces = learning
Tolman’s Purposive Behaviorism Features Cues for teaching Stimuli > tentative cognitive- like map > response - Purpose + goal =learning Significate + sign + intervening variable = learning eg. assessments
Bandura’s Social Learning Theory Features Cues for teaching Observation + selection= imitation Social + Cognitive= Learning eg. Group interactions
