Learning Theories and Behaviorism

This video introduces three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses on learning through repetition and reinforcement, with implications for classroom management and language learning. Cognitivism emphasizes intrinsic motivation and discovery, considering cultural contexts and the zone of proximal development. Constructivism highlights the importance of social processes and prior knowledge, with teachers acting as facilitators. Each theory offers unique insights into how learning occurs and the role of educators in the process.
