The most striking things I learned were how
overwhelmingly large this concept of learning is, as well as, how it continues to evolve over time. Furthermore,
exploring cognitive, constructive and behavioral theories gave me clear
understanding of behaviorism and cognitivism. It has also given me the chance
to be informed about the theory of constructivism. Connectivism, too, was very intriguing and
allowed me to identify with the theory I would utilize more than others, even
though other theories are useful. Connectivism would be the basis of utilizing
technology integration and project based learning. Using mobiles makes learning
become unlimitedly boundless.
This course has reinforced my initial understanding
styles, and strategies and clarified theories. The “cherry picker” idea to use
each - ism as needed is useful when
teaching and learning I discovered learning for me is a blend of cognitivism,
behaviorism, and constructivism due to the fact that, what is being learned may
require one of the three approaches. Depending on what I am learning or
teaching I may need the stimulus or example like a behaviorist, the
conceptualization of the cognitivism or the interpretation of experience of
constructivism. I have learned more about being a multi-sensory learner, blend
of tactile, visual ,verbal styles, and how to maintain and enhance this to
improve learning experience as teacher student and designer There is no single
best approach or practice but I feel like being an adaptive learner or adaptive
in education is essential to teaching and
learning.
This course has reinforced my initial understanding
styles and strategies and clarified theories. People can still be social
without being in the same physical location. The Timeline for the History of
Learning is a very important resource for showing how and why people learn and
basis of how people teach. It and other course resources similarly showed me
why some theories are rejected or accepted. Learning in this course has and
will continue to help me further my education career and in the field of instructional
design. This will help me as a person, a student and educator look at learning
in its fullness and complexity . What I have you learned in regards to the
connection between learning theories, learning styles, educational technology,
and motivation is students learn in a variety of means just as teachers’
teacher in a number methods. Education must be designed where all elements
previously listed to motivate the learner and teacher to identify purpose
achieve or fulfill their devoted interest learning.
