LEARNING THEORIES

Analysis of a learning event
In ABC school situated in the United States of America, the children of the first standard
were given the task of understanding the photos which were presented to them. They had to
identify the photos and associate them with the places in where they are found in the world.
Behaviorist
Within this paradigm of learning, the photos need to be shown to the students in their
material form. They would act as a stimuli whereby the student would be able to identify them
and associate them accordingly (Illeris, 2018).
Cognitive
The cognitive paradigm of learning requires the student to understand what is being
presented to them. The internal and the external factors which are presented to the students have
to be taken in to consideration while evaluating the learning process when this theory is being
adhered to (Pritchard, 2017).
Constructivist
The constructivist learning theory includes the acquiring of knowledge. The photos
presented to the students can be identified by them if they have been so taught by their respective
teachers. In other words, the success of this learning theory is dependent on the amount of
information which is already divulged to the students in the beginning (Anderson, 2016).
