This document discusses four major schools of psychology that aim to explain the learning process: behaviorism, cognitivism, social constructivism, and social cognitivism. Behaviorism, as defined by B.F. Skinner, views learning as responses to stimuli in one's environment. Cognitivism, per Jean Piaget, focuses on the development of intelligence through mental classifications. Social constructivism, from Lev Vygotsky, sees learning occurring through social interaction and language. Finally, Albert Bandura's social cognitivism emphasizes cognitive processes in acquiring skills through observation.

FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF PSYCHOLOGY
Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think; it is the acquisition of many specialized abilities for thinking about a variety of things. Lev Vygotsky , Readings on the Development of Children
PSYCHOLOGISTS, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND TEACHERS ARE CONTINUOUSLY QUESTIONING When does a person learn? What motivates a person to want to learn? What influences a persons learning process?

Behaviorism by B.F. Skinner explains human behavior through observable and measured responses to stimuli within a persons environment. Cognitivism, as defined by Jean Piaget, looks at the development of intelligence in mental and biological classifications.
Lev Vygotskys theory expands the school of cognitivism to social constructivism and outlines learning as a process where people actively build new concepts and discover new understandings through language and social interaction. And finally, as illustrated by Albert Bandura, social cognitivism emphasizes cognitive, self-regulatory, and self-reflective processes in acquiring information and skills via observation, imitation, and modeling. For each of these theorists, their learning theory is an explanation of what happens when the process of learning takes place.
