  3. Some information about Learning Theories:

    Behaviorism
    -Stimulus produces reaction
    -Repeated reactions create long-term behaviour
    -Mistake should be punished and corrected

    Cognitivism
    -Study of mind or mental process
    -How our brain process information

    Constructivism
    -Learning is an active process wherein learners are actively constructing mental models and theories of the world aroudn them.
    -Knowledge is constructed through logical organization, interaction among learners/facilitators, integrate prior and new knowledge, mistake is part of learning

  4. I find something on the learning theory as following:

    Behaviorism: Based on observable changes in behavior. Behaviorism focuses on a new behavioral pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic.

    Cognitivism: Based on the thought process behind the behavior. Changes in behavior are observed, and used as indicators as to what is happening inside the learner's mind.

    Constructivism: Based on the premise that we all construct our own perspective of the world, through individual experiences and schema. Constructivism focuses on preparing the learner to problem solve in ambiguous situations.

    (Schuman, 1996)

  5. I agree. Mindmap is a good learning tools especially under constructivism.
