Education Theories

Education theories are ideas that explain how people learn and how teaching can best support that process. For example, behaviorism suggests learning happens through rewards and feedback, while constructivism emphasizes students actively building understanding through experience. Social learning theory highlights learning by observing others. Cognitive development theory focuses on how thinking skills evolve over time. Each theory offers insights into different teaching methods and learning experiences, helping educators design approaches that meet diverse student needs and promote effective, meaningful learning.
