According to slide presented by
Siti Nurulhuda last week, she referred to two behavioral theory of learning by
Ivan Pavlov and Edward Thorndike. The slide also mentioned about what is
learning? According to Siti Nurulhuda, learning was always defined as a change
in an individual caused by experience.
Learning theory was divided into
three items whereas behaviorism, cognitive and constructivism. Behaviorism is a
learning process through observation for example; the children always imitate
what they had seen through their parent as well as the girls playing by pretend
to be moms that manage their baby such as feeding a baby, change their nappy
and so on. The conclusion is, behaviorism is a process of indirect learning
that can be taught by experience and environment.
Next, cognitive learning theories
was focus on mental process whereas children used to think about something that
they get from observation for example, the children want to look at the sun but
sunrays was not safe to them so, they think for how to look at the sun safely,
means they need a protection! They will think what the protection should be?
They should think and this is how they find a solution which means they used a
critical thinking to solve problem, then critical thinking is a mental process.
While the constructivism is the
combination of behaviorism and cognitive whereas the children was observed and
think for example, the situation of one children want to touch the hot kettle
but their mom against it due to it was hot and may hurt that children so the
children will think what they can used to prevent the hot and at the same time
they want to touch it, so they come out with cloth then touch the kettle, so
they may know that kettle was hot and touch with cloth can prevent them from
getting hurt.
Last but not least, the behavioral
learning theories show us the proof about what happen in our life. Ivan Pavlov
use classical conditioning that emphasis on
observation using psychomotor such as neutral stimuli through five steps which
are unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, neutral stimuli,
conditioned stimulus and classical conditioning while Edward Thorndike through
imitation but through three laws which is law of effect, law of readiness and
law of exercise.
Conclusion is, the theoretical
learning process had their own advantages and dis-advantages but can
implemented to person due to their behavior.
