Education and Learning Theories

Education and learning theories explain how people acquire knowledge and skills. They explore different ways individuals learn, such as through experience (experiential learning), observing others (social learning), or understanding concepts deeply (cognitive development). These theories help educators create effective teaching methods tailored to how learners understand and retain information. For example, some focus on active participation, others on repetition or encouragement. Overall, they provide insights into the best strategies for fostering learning at different ages and contexts, aiming to make education engaging, meaningful, and effective for everyone.
