Learning theory

We have learned that there are different learning theories: behaviorism, constructivism and social constructivism.

The summary of their theories is:

	BEHAVIOURISM	CONSTRUCTIVISM	SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
KNOWLEDGGE	Repertoire of behavioral responses to environmental stimuli	Knowledge systems are actively constructed by learners based on existing structures	Knowledge is socially constructed
LEARNING	Passive absorption of predefined body of knowledge y learner. Promoted by repetitions and positive reinforcement	Active assimilation and accommodation of new information to existing cognitive structures. Discovered by learners	Integration of pupils into knowledge community. Collaborative assimilation and accommodation of new information
MOTIVATION	Extrinsic, reward and punishment. (positive and negative reinforces)	Intrinsic. Learners set their own goals and motivate themselves to learn.	Intrinsic and extrinsic. Learning goals and motives are determined both by learners and extrinsic rewards provided by the knowledge community
TEACHING	Correct behavioral responses are transmitted by the teacher and repeated by the pupils. The teacher reinforces these.	The teacher facilitates learning by providing an environment that promotes discovery and assimilation/accommodation	Collaborative learning is facilitated and guided by the teacher. Group work.

All this theories are new for me. I think that the better learning is socio constructivism, because  the children consstruted knowledge together.
