Week 4: Activity 2.7: Applying learning theories to practice (Part 1)

Timing: Allow 180 minutes for this activity (part 1 & 2)

Part 1

Read and take notes on pages 48 to 59 of the article ‘Behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism: comparing critical features from an instructional design perspective’ by Ertmer and Newby (2013). 

Here you will find a more in-depth explanation about how each of the learning theories explored so far informs learning design (a summary of this is provided in Table 2.1). 

This will help you to address Part 2 of this activity.
