INTRODUCTION
Education is defined to acquiring broader knowledge within a classroom or any kind of
instructive environment. Similarly, training is acquiring specific together with applied skill set
for particular working (Lefrancois, 2019). Purpose of the assessment is to underpin knowledge
along with understanding to assist development of practice of an individual within education and
training.
The assessment undertakes certain tasks highlighting theories, principles and models
associated to learning, learning preferences, communication and curriculum development. It also
covers application of models, principles and theories of learning, communication, curriculum
development, reflection and evaluation.
TASK 1
1.1. Analysing theories, principles along with models of learning
Learning is said to a process which results in change as on outcome of experience addition
to enhance ability for improved performances as well as future. Mentioned below is analysis of
some theories, models and principles of learning are as analysed:
Behaviourist learning theory: The theory was propounded by B. F. Skinner who states
that behaviours are learned from an environment and inherited factors have some influence of
behaviours. One of example of behaviourism in learning is positive reinforcement which
strengthens likelihood of specific responses through adding a stimulus when behaviour is
performed. One of assumption of the theory is that learning occurs as an outcome of responses to
external or internal events. The behavioural learning theory is key in understanding how to
motivate and help students. Information is transferred from teachers to learners from a response
to the right stimulus. Students are a passive participant in behavioural learning—teachers are
giving them the information as an element of stimulus-response.
Cognitive learning model: Plato and Descartes are philosophers who pounded cognitive
theory so to look at the aspects in which people process information while learning (Hayes and
Hofmann, 2018). Jean Piget was pioneer of cognitive theory of learning whose work looked
towards environment addition to internal structures and their impacts on learning. It is based on
the assumption that distinct procedures and thoughts are key determinants of behaviours. A
cognitive model is a descriptive account or computational representation of human thinking
