LANGUAGE

Piaget:

• Stages of operations include language and communication as key identifiers

Vygotsky:

• Culture and language in human development is essential.
• Semiotic Mediation - key to all aspects of knowledge construction. Through language, counting, art, writing, schemes, maps, mnemonic techniques, etc.
• Importance of language and culture on learning.
• Inner speech is integral to learning and thinking

Neuroscience:

• Language is key to learning and involves a number of processes from multiple parts of the brain.

Learning Theory Common Themes

LIFELONG LEARNING

Neuroscience:

• Much is learned through observation
• Consolidation + memory + application = learning

Diversity in Learning:

• Wide reaching availability of MOOCs
• MOOCs as free learning

PEERS AND MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OTHERS

Vygotksy:

• Guided participation
• Zone of proximal development
• Collaborative learning

Constructivism:

• Social Constructivism = ideas constructed though interaction with teacher and/or peers

MOTIVATION

Cognitivism:

• Material and self-evaluative incentives

Behaviourism:

• Pavlov's response to stimuli

Neuroscience:

• Information is processed through filters to gain attention, which is influenced by perceived importance, novelty, intensity and movement.
• Growth mindset

Diversity in Learning:

• Collaboration in cMOOCs leading to increased motivation to participate and add to discussion

SOCIAL

Social Cognitive Theory:

• Social modelling
• Triadic reciprocal response

Vygotsky:

• Dynamic interdependence of social and individual processes
• Collaborative learning
• Scaffolding

Constructivism:

• Interactions with peers and teachers is essential
• Cooperative learning
• Scaffolding
• Internalization occurs more effectively when there is social interaction.

Diversity in Learning:

• cMOOCs collaboration and networking
• Scaffolding

OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOURS

Behaviourism:

• Assumption that human behvaiour is predictable
• Explicit behaviours can be observed and measured

Social Cognitive Theory:

• Can learn by watching (observational learning) and observing the consequences of an action by someone else (vicarious reinforcement)

AGE-RELATED DEVELOPMENT STAGES

Piaget:

• Order of operations (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, formal operations)

Neuroscience:

• Consolidation (development of synaptic responses) and brain development over time.

Constructivism:

• Equilibration - knowledge shift from one stage to another (cognitive constructivism)
