In class were covered the major theoretic paradigms used in education now-a days.  The 5 Educational Learning Theories 1. Behaviorism : Behaviorism is using reinforcement and punishment techniques to encourage or discourage certain behaviors. The environment around us shapes us because we are blank slates and so the behaviors of others can influence our behaviors as well. We can be conditioned to follow certain behavior patterns by the people around us.

Their behavior of pushing the lever has been conditioned by behaviorism.  2. Cognitivism : Cognitivism focuses more on the mind and the thinking process through reading texts and lecture instructions. People who learn this way

National dances were developed, taught, and situated in the gymnasium, which emphasized the importance of attending to both the child’s physical and intellectual development in schools. Around the time that John Dewey ( 1 ), most noted for his education reforms, was advocating curriculum to enhance democracy, Gertrude Colby ( 2 ) developed the “natural dances,” mirroring the return to the Greek ideal found in contemporary art circles. Popular dancers such as Isadora Duncan ( 3 ) and her protégés emphasized movement founded on the law of natural motion and rhythm. “The leaders of this movement went to the Greeks because they had accorded dance so high a place in the education of youth.
