Classical conditioning
Behaviourism focuses on observable behaviours
Learning is an acquisition of new behaviour through
conditioning.
Stimulus-response
Learner is passive - clean slate
Uses reinforcement techniques (positive and negative;
withdrawal or application of stimuli)

Behaviourism
Learning is a change
in behaviour;
A part of one’s
cognitive development
Skinner

Piaget:
cognitive constructivism :
How learning occurs
rather than what
influences it.

Piaget:
cognitive constructivism
• Learning through schemas
• Assimilation (organising)
• Accommodation (transforming)
• Equilibrium (environment)
Adaptation

The zone of proximal development is the
distance between the actual development
level as determined by independent problem
solving and the level of potential
development as determined through problem
solving under adult guidance or in
collaboration with more capable peers.
(Vygotsky, 1978)

(Deep) learning
…education consist in the formation of wide-awake, careful,
thorough habits of thinking. Of course, intellectual learning
includes the amassing and retention of information. But information is an undigested burden unless it is
understood. (…). And understanding, comprehension, means
that the various parts of the information acquired are grasped
in their relations to one another – a result that is attained only
when acquisition is accompanied by constant reflection upon
the meaning of what is studied.
