Evaluating Theories Of Learning Styles And Effective Communication Strategies
Name: Chris Moat
Course: DTLLS
Year: 1
Course Code: 1030801
ASSIGNMENT:
A 3000 word assignment identifying the relevant theories and principles of learning and describe how these apply to my own area of teaching making links to effective communication strategies.
INTRODUCTION
I am going to discuss the different learning theories and styles there are and the tensions I will face as a teacher and a learner with them. In this assignment I will analyse my own learning style and the different learning styles within my group of students. I will look at the theories of learning styles within thinking, learning and creativity and I will particularly look at the work of the Behaviourists / Neo Behaviourists …show more content…
These argued that meaningful statements about the world
had to be cast as statements about physical observations.
They were also convinced that anything else was metaphysics or nonsense, not
science, and had to be rejected.
The two elements are then known as the conditioned stimulus and the
conditioned response. Knowledge, according to the logical positivists, had to
build on an observational base, and could be verified to the extent that it was in
keeping with observation. Skinner was famous for an experiment called the
Baby box (1945). This was a glassed-in playpen in which the temperature and
Humidity was automatically controlled. Skinner’s youngest daughter spent her
Infancy in one of these glassed-in playpens. This at the time was classed as
very controversial and misunderstood by the general public. Skinner
claimed that the box was to serve the same purpose as the baby crib, however
with the enhanced environment to keep a child safe and healthy. Clark Hull
was the most ambitious out of the three neo behaviorists, he mainly
concentrated on constructing a formal theory on behaviour. He looked at the
links between stimulus and response and believed that the law of
