Outline And Evaluate Three Significant Learning Research
Compare and evaluate three significant learning and development theories
In this assignment I will compare and evaluate three significant learning theories, these being; Behaviourism, Constructivism and Social Constructivism. This will include a clear presentation of; knowledge of these theories, a demonstration of the understanding of academic debates pertaining to these theories and by selecting three key aspects of these three theories, comparing and evaluating them. The three key aspects that will be used are; views on development, how they are applied in an educational setting and their methodology. These will be looked into in depth in order to compare these three theories in depth.

(Watson, Pavlov, Skinner) Insert dates!. Another important factor in the behaviourist view of development is reinforcement. By using encouragement in the way of rewards to shape a certain behaviour is an important part in the behaviourist view of development. This allows us to shape the learning of an organism in order for them to develop their behaviour and learning. B.F Skinner is a major name in the field of behaviourist psychology. He is well known for implementing this idea of how behaviour is shaped and conditioned by outside stimuli. Pollard, A. (2002). There is one study in which he carried out which reflects the behaviourist view on development. Skinner presented food to a pigeon at a time in which it presented a certain type of behaviour such as; turning around, pacing the floor or stamping the foot. It was found that when the pigeon was rewarded with the food at these times it showed the same behaviours in order to receive food again. This illustrates perfectly the behaviourist view on development. This being; how, in order to develop certain behaviours there must be outside stimuli in place to encourage us to do so. Behaviourism is a contrast to the idea of constructivism. Whereas behaviourists believe
