Learning Theory

Learning Theory is a framework that explains how people acquire, process, and retain knowledge. It encompasses various approaches, such as behaviorism, which focuses on observable behaviors influenced by rewards and punishments; cognitivism, which emphasizes mental processes like thinking and memory; and constructivism, where learners build knowledge through experiences and interactions. Understanding these theories helps educators design effective teaching methods and learning environments, ultimately enhancing a person's ability to understand and apply new information.
