Summarise two recognized learning theories and explain their relevance to forest school. A learning theory can be defined as being a set of concepts which attempt to describe how people learn and develop (Dunn‚ 2000). Behaviourism. This theory takes an objective approach to observing quantifiable events and behaviour and has a focus on measurable outcomes. Watson (1878-1958) suggested that our learning and behaviour are controlled by the experiences we are exposed to and our response to them

Humans seem to be an entity made up by a combination of both physical properties and mental properties. Folk psychology of soul proposed by Bering (2006) suggested “common-sense mind-body dualism” is a cognitive adaptation that evolved through natural selection. According to this quote‚ it is believed that individual is fundamentally constituted of body‚ mind and volition.

Outline and evaluate the behaviourist approach to abnormality The behaviourist model explains abnormality as learnt behaviour. The behaviourists explain this learning as being a result of our environment. It has two ways to explain how abnormality can be learnt. It also argues that people do not have free will and that the environment determines their behaviour by making them behave in certain ways Classical conditioning is about an association made between a stimulus and response. In a

Most people would agree that beliefs are powerful. However‚ many people don’t know that our beliefs and expectations can impact our reality and the reality of others. They can even help the blind see. Which may mean that believing really is seeing. The amazing story of how our expectations shape people’s lives‚ as well as the research done on this topic‚ is presented by the hosts of the Invisibilia radio show on an episode entitled “How to Become Batman”. The first bit of this episode begins by

The Uniqueness of Experimental Research * Experimental research is unique in that it is the only type of research that directly attempts to influence a particular variable‚ and it is the only type that‚ when used properly‚ can really test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships. Experimental designs are some of the strongest available for educational researchers to use in determining cause and effect. Essential Characteristics of Experimental Research * Experiments differ from other

Experimental and Non-Experimental Research Designs. Evaluating a Survey Student’s Name Institution Research can either be experimental or no-experimental. Between the two research methods‚ experimental research is the most scientifically and also the most sophisticated research method. This makes the experimental be defined as observation that is under controlled conditions. Experimental research design method is concerned with examination of the effect of independent variable on
