Introduction The general explanation of the paradigms Behaviorism refers to the school of psychology that is based on the belief that behavior can be measured, trained and changed. It is also a theory of learning based upon the ideas that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning and it is a systematic approach to the understanding of living organisms in relation to environmental events. It is primarily concerned with the observable and measurable aspects of human behaviors. Behaviorist view
Grice, Mabin, and Graham (2012) found that using a constructivist approach to teach remedial mathematics to 8-10 year old students was effective in improving the students’ math scores. Thirty participants were randomly assigned to three instructional groups using three different methods, one of which was a constructivist method for teaching mathematics. All three groups of students improved their scores. However, the students in the constructivist group had larger improvements. The remaining groups
surround the learning process are key elements that need to be taken into account in the process of knowledge growth. Various theories have been developed over the years, which are essential to the understanding of how individuals ‘acquire, retain and recall knowledge’ (The Peakperformacecencenter.com,

On the contrary, content is very important; however, in a constructivist classroom, a teacher does not stand and deliver most or even much of the content material. Rather students uncover, discover and reflect on content and their conceptions of such through inquiry, investigation, research and analysis in the context of
that the students learn from the work of history’s finest thinkers and writers. According to perennialism theory person learns from his experiences and the main focus of this theory is on personal development. By analyzing
Up to now, there are a lot of theories of teaching and learning about how people learn. However, there are three sets of learning theory widely used in different disciplines. They are: Behaviourism, cognitivist, and constructivism. I will try to discuss concisely definition of these three learning theory. The principle idea of the behaviourist theory is that learning comprises of a change in behaviour based on the acquisition, strengthening and application of connotations between stimuli from the
Closing the Theory-Practice Gap The theory-practice gap is not a new problem in healthcare today. This problem has existed for many years and does not seem to be disappearing from healthcare anytime soon. The theory-practice gap in nursing is the difference between what is taught in the classroom and how care is actually given in practice. Theories in nursing are developed to help nurses in practice; these theories have been developed along side and around medical knowledge and medical theory along
with disabilities should not be discriminated but to be accepted because they are humans too and they have important roles in society. SCOPE and LIMITATIONS This study offers practical suggestions to physical education teachers as well as the classroom teachers teaching children with special needs at Santo Niño SPED Center for the promotion of participating physical activities. This involves children with disabilities wish to have the opportunity to compete favourably with their peer
impact the teaching and learning of mathematics in four middle schools in the Greenville School District? As a mathematics teacher, one must consider diversity within the classroom because students acquire knowledge and skills at different times and in different ways. Several teachers are slaves to the teacher-centered classroom and resist change for a more student-centered environment. It is of paramount importance that teachers use various teaching strategies to accommodate students’ learning styles
learning to complement theories of formal and informal learning are presented. As such, activity theory will form the main theoretical lens through which the elements involved in formal and informal learning for mobile learning will be explored, specifically related to context-aware mobile learning application. The author believes that the complexity of the relationships involved can best be analyzed using activity theory. Activity theory, as a social and cultural psychology theory, can be used not only
