CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -methods: self-directed quest for content, sharing of content, sources, spontaneous learning groups, creates knowledge collaboratively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both cognitivists and constructivists view the learner as being actively involved in the learning process, yet the constructivists look at the learner as more than just an active processor of information; the learner elaborates upon and interprets the given information (Duffy & Jonassen, 1991).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cognitivists believe that humans learn from thinking. They believe that we learn from our experiences and that we can change our behaviors based on new information. Knowledge is considered an internal process rather than a product.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment, and says that innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -(Abik et al., 2012). Connectivism allows students to incorporate electronic devices for the “off-site” storage of information, treating the role of memory differently than prior learning theories. With connectivism, technology is permitted to become part of the student’s internal learning process.
