This article describes the major schools of thought in
educational theory, namely- Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and
Social Constructivism. The paper proposes a framework for using these theories
in online instruction and lists technologies for supporting the different
theory implementations. I proposes that all of these theories have a place in
the classroom.
Not only does it provide explanations for these
theories, but it has a table that shows each of the theories, and explains the
instructional design/delivery respectively. It has a table outlining, the processes
of learning, type of learning, instructional strategies, and key concepts.
Additionally, it has a table showing the different types of learning tools and
technologies to support each of these technologies. Lastly it illustrates tools
used to support active learning among groups and individualize learning.
This is a great paper for those that want to get a
basic foundational understanding of what these theories are, how they can be
taught and the technologies that support the teaching. It is also a great
jumping off point to learn more about these theories individually. I recommend
checking out the references at the bottom of the article to find more great
articles that this author used.
