Cognative Learning Theories

I thoroughly enjoyed our group presentations this week and learned a lot about all of the theories. Each group did a fantastic job and I walked away with a lot of information. Though all of the theories contrast in some way, it is important that the teacher understands each theory and how useful they are. Whether it is producing behavior changes in a desired direction or developing capacity and skills for the student to learn better, all play a small part. A teacher may lean toward a particular theory but can take a little from all of the theories to help find different solutions to teaching.
