In your pre-observation conversation with Dr. Lydia, she asks for your guidance on distinguishing between major learning theories. You decide to create a brief chart as a quick reference showing the differences between Behaviorism and Constructivism as they pertain to adult learners like those in Dr. Lydia’s class.
Instructions
Create a chart comparing Behaviorism and Constructivism. Include the following elements:
· Definition of the theory
· Role of the learner and instructor
· Focus of learning and the process
· Assessment approach
· Learning environment
· Resources
After completing the chart, summarize which learning theory is the best fit for adult learners and why.
