This document discusses several learning theories and their application to classroom practices. It describes how conditioning and reinforcement theories influenced the development of teaching approaches and behavior modification techniques. It also outlines programmed learning which breaks down subjects into sequential steps that can be taught through machines or programmed textbooks. Finally, it discusses cognitive-field theory and how it implies that teachers select learning experiences that help students discover relationships and understand concepts as a whole organized pattern in order to develop reflective thinking skills.

1. Learning Theories
and their
Application to
Classroom and
School Practices
2. • Psychologists and
educators base with
conditioning and
reinforcement theories.
• They have influenced the
development of
approaches in teaching-
learning processes.
3. • They have also
influenced the use of
reinforcement techniques
in the control of various
kinds of disruptive behavior
in the classroom which is
referred to as behavior
modification.
4. • In the classroom
setting, teachers are said
to reinforce the kind of
behavior they want to see
through
praise, smiles, marks, rewa
rds and the like.
5. Programmed learning
• System of learning in
which pre-established
subject matter is broken
down into sequential steps.
6. • Programmed learning
may be accomplished
either with the use of
teaching machines or
programmed textbooks.
8. • It implies that the teacher
has to select and provide
appropriate learning
experience whereby the
learners can discover
relationships between
elements in various situations
and understand them as a
whole in an organized, unified
pattern.
10. This is accomplished by
having learners discuss
both the immediate and
ultimate goals of learning.
11. Although the theories
emphasize the place of
generalities by
introducing the subject,
there is also a need to
emphasize in larger
aspects of the area
12. The interest of cognitive-
field theorists in developing
reflective thinking implies
setting up school programs
that are focused on teaching
students to think effectively
in a wide variety of
situations.
#5: Of course, not all teachers cannot supply reinforcement quickly enough or often enough, so skinner introduced the program learning
#6: Programmed Learning: own definition, from the term “program” meaning that there is already chronologically arranged process in how the students will learn.Sequential steps: the learner is immediately reinforced after each step as soon as he makes the correct response. ----for example in the subject Chemistry: In solving the molar mass of an element, there will be steps in how will you solve it. The student must first follow the first step in order to know how to get the second, third until it reaches in getting the molar mass of an element
#7: For the teaching machines like presenting a video presentation in how to make a paper bag or like recording your discussion in a tape recorder or cd.Programmed textbooks like in K-12 curriculum, Learners’ Manual, in which the book will serve as the instruction material of the students from basic to advanced.
#11: The teacher is in need to preview the activities involved and the problems to be encountered. That is why priming or the motivation is included in our Lesson Plans. In order that the students may have the interest and can relate their experiences to the lesson which will be tackled.
#12: Example is in reading. Word analysis and phonetics are significant as they contribute to better understanding. Teachers know that there are students who can read but cannot comprehend what they have read.
#13: So it implies the child-centered, as well as problem-centered. The teacher allows the student to have critical thinking in a certain aspect of the lesson and discover what they have learned in a specific situation. Examples are research, experiments (science), Mathematics and other subjects. Actually of the subjects are involoved.
