INTRODUCTION
Education and training refers to the act of inculcating specific skills in a person and also
educates all about the gaining theoretical knowledge in classroom. Learning is a way to develop
own skills, whereas education is one of the typical system in order to enhance the overall
capabilities, abilities and performance. The primary role of education and training are widely
used to recognise as essential effectiveness of new trends in work organisation. In this report, it
will discuss about different theories, principles and model in context of learning, communication,
assessment and curriculum development. Different model, theories and principles are basically
applied in multiple perspectives. Furthermore, it reflect on the model of reflections and also
identified the view-points.
TASK 1
1.1 Analyse theories, principles and model of learning
Learning theories, model and principles provide theoretical framework to understand the
preference of people, how they can learn. In current scenario, it has been rapidly increasing the
demand of theories which may provide the better knowledge, develop skills and modify attitude
towards learning.
Behaviourism theory- It is related the positive experience gained by individual people and
influence with learning environment. Behaviourism theory can be used by teacher at the time of
learning process and then target the students. In most of practices, this theory will help to provide
the direction of learner where they can gain positive experience and reshaping current
information (Surr and et.al., 2017). For example- teacher may select the best option in context of
learning such as games, quizzes. These type of approach will attract learners or student where
they also gained more knowledge on the basis of experience.
Cognitivism theory- this kind of theory is mainly used by teacher to understand the
mental ability of student. In most of cases, teacher will create an effective strategic plan to keep
record the performance of student. By using cognitivism theory, student may able to use their
3

knowledge and combine with information of real life. This can possible through cognitivism
theory which help to provide better learning opportunity for student.
Social constructivism- this kind of theoretical model is basically used in term of learning.
it indicate the accelerated as an active process or method by self-lead, socializing. In this sense,
learner can be experienced with the use of passive element which may be used in the time of
teaching.
Connectivism- this theory is come under digital age which means that provide the better
direction of learning, establish a connection by technology creates, this can support for leader to
improve their own understanding. In some situation, teacher can use connectivism approach in
order to create and establish collaboration through better creativity or decision-making.
1.2 Discuss about the different ways to use model of learning and applied in teaching, learning
and assessment.
To start with behaviourism theory, teaching is one of the important part of individual life
in which provide the direction to gain more knowledge. Behaviourism theory can be applied in
teaching, learning where student can learn something innovative. The primary responsibility of
student to focus on the teaching lesson (Lefrancois, 2019). At the time, behaviourism theory can
applied to find the behaviour and knowledge of learner in learning session.
Cognitivism is a model that can be applied in the learning classroom because it is always
encouraging the individual people curiosity, testing hypotheses for inquiry orientated project.
This model is help for student to engage with experience of teaching and build own confidence
level.
Social learning theory can be applied in learning which means that provide the better
direction to social construction. Through this theory, it is combined with social constructivism in
the form of empirical activities.
On the basis of discussion, it has been identified different theories and model in learning.
Different theories are combined to each other and depend on the capacity of learner while
4

gaining more knowledge in accordance to learning plan. Moreover, it also addressed the learning
needs of individual person and identify the capacity of teacher’s.
Principle of learning-
While studying, some kind of learners can listen to session in the classroom. Teachers
have focused on the skill and knowledge of individual people. For example- during classroom
session, learner can enhance their ability or capability to retain, recall information. This is
helping to develop a confidence level among learners.
Repetition enhances learning- it can be applied in the different situations and help to
remember information and innovation by learner. It is true for memorizing facts and also
improved mastering psychomotor skills.
Active participation in learning- it is necessary step in which participate into different
process. In most of cases, teacher engage with student during classroom session, provide the
better opportunity in term of learning (Beer and Mulder, 2020). The participation of every
learners which means that they can put more efforts into learning session to achieve desirable
goal or objective.
Learning style vary- some student can find it easier to comprehend the verbal disclosure
while other people can be used visual technique to improve skills. all these things are depending
on the experience to grasp meaning of concepts. There are different combination of visual,
auditory, verbal and learning experience is most effective. In this way, student must be aware
about the preferred learning style and help to enhance learning process. Student can facilitate
learning in order to find the best match between teacher teaching style and learning process.
1.3 Analyse models of learning preferences.
The model of learning preferences are basically represents the teaching setting for students.
In order to identify different learning styles such as visual graphics, auditorily etc. this is not
applicable for individual person but it depends on the combination of multiple aspects.
According to the Honey & Mumford’s, teacher will be adopting four style of learning such
as pragmatics, reflectors and theorists. Even though, it is an essential to gain knowledge and
5

instead of individual learning preferences. This is more valuable to find all kind of learning
preference in high level.
In this sense, it is mainly focused on teacher to conduct the classroom learning session for
student. At that time, it can be applied the learning preferences to improve the ability or
capability of learner.
According to Fleming’s VAK model, it refers to learning style and provide the simple way
to describe or explain different approach. When a teacher can use this model to share the
information of learners by using visualization manner.
Visual- learner prefer to learn new thing by seeing. Teacher can include a picture and
include graphics. These kind of activities are inspiring or motivating learner to participate into
different teaching session.
Auditory- a learner will try to learn something innovative so that they can listen such as
discussion, lectures, tapes.
1.4
Usually, I am focused on the individual learning because it help to find the better approach in
context of teaching, learning and assessment. Generally, I could analyse the current situation
where I could require to improve and participate into different learning session.
Yes, I have been used the VAK form in order to represent the view and opinion on the basis of
questionnaires. This will help for me to find own behaviour, nature and attitude.
In context of inclusive, I have been selected assessment strategies which help to find the strength
and weakness. Without changing the way of assessment is not properly justified.
As per consideration of Bloom taxonomy, it help to divide educational learning objectives in
cognitive, sensory domain and affective.
