learning Theories in Practice

4 Tasks/ Headings
Task1. Choose two of the following contemporary learning theories:
• Cognitive constructivism (if you choose this one do not choose the broader constructivism’ option below)
• Constructivism
• Experiential learning
• Transformative learning
Provide a summary of the two theories that you have chosen, and discuss why they are relevant in your teaching context.
Task2. Using examples from your own practice context (teacher or trainer), discuss how you could embed these modern understandings of learning theory within your teaching/training practice. Include examples of teaching strategies that are consistent with the learning theories that you have  chosen.
Task3. In the article by Phil Race (Race, P. (2005). Making Learning Happen: A guide for post-compulsory education . Los Angeles, London, New Delhi & Singapore: SAGE Publications.) he identifies seven factors that underpin successful learning. Discuss the ways in which the theories that you have chosen, and the teaching and learning strategies that the theories suggest, would address the seven factors that Race  identifies.
Task4. In what ways could you use the learning theories that you have discussed and the article by Phil Race to further develop your own teaching and learning  practice.
Rationale
This assignment requires you to have an understanding of the major theories of learning and apply these to your work environment. The assignment also focuses your attention on the applicability of learning theories to a teaching and training context, and gives you the opportunity to explore how these theories contribute to your teaching  practice.
