Learning theories describe how students receive, process and retain knowledge during learning. During this course, I learnt about different learning theories which are important for teachers to understand the way their learners acquire knowledge.
As a teacher, by knowing different learning theories help us in different stages of our teaching process.
Advantages of learning theories
- To prepare well for my lessons
- To plan the assessment tools to match the comprehension level of students
- To understand the current knowledge of students and help them in their learning gaps.
- Ability to design effective learning materials
- To understand different obstacles in the teaching and learning process
