Some Terminology
Pedagogy
Pedagogy is the act of teaching together with its attendant discourse. It is

what one needs to know, and the skills one needs to command in order to

make and justify the many different kinds of decisions of which teaching is

constituted.

Theories on how people learn are not new. Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, Skinner and others have
theorized for years how it is we come to “know” things.

Unlike many scientific theories, it is unlikely that a single learning theory is “right,” and will
ultimately prove other theories “wrong.” How people learn is complex, and any unifying theory on
how it all happens that’s entirely accurate would likely be too vague to be helpful. In that way,
each “theory” is more of a way to describe one truth out of many.
Traditional Theories Of Learning
Of the published research and science, the more popular theories in the last fifty years are:
Behaviorism Learning is a process of reacting to external stimuli
Cognitivism Learning is a process of acquiring and storing information
Constructivism Meaning is continuously “constructed” through experience & reflection
Connectivism Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes
 
Some Others
Social Learning Theory Multiple Intelligences Brain-Based Learning
