When I first knew that we are going to learn learning theories, I ponder and start to question what was the relation to technology. There are four learning theories in education that are important, behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism and connectivism.
Behaviourism or otherwise known as behavioural psychology can be defined as a hypothesis of learning based on the possibility that all practices are obtained through conditioning. It also emphasized the positive and negative reinforcement. Next is cognitivism which was introduced by John Sweller. In this theory, he emphasized on rational thinking, which includes short term memory and long term memory. After that, constructivism in which Jean Piaget and John Dewey had stated that people would construct their knowledge through experience. For example, when a child sees a dog with four legs, even when he/she see a cat, he/she will call it as a dog. The last learning theory is connectivism which focused more on the technology in line with 21st-century learning. It was firstly introduced by George Seamen and his partner.
