"Meaningful Learning Theory"

         It is where every individual learns by relating its newly acquired information to what it has been learned before. The transfer of learning is where the knowledge learn in particular situation to a new or different environment. 

        One of the best way to make the learner more responsive is to motivate her/him . But when the learner is restraining its another part of the brain which can cause to make the part be disuse that can make some information be forgotten.

"The sequence of Information Processing (Slavin)"

There are three major components of Information Processing the; Sensory registers which receive the big amount of information from the senses and holds it for a very short time for initial processing for transfer to the short-term memory. The Short-term or Working memory which holds the limited amount of information paid attention to, organizes it for storage or for discarding and connecting to other information. And the Long-term memory which keeps information for long period of time and integrates it through rehearsal, elaboration and organization with information that is already known.

There are basic concepts in cognitive theories of Learning which are the Perception, Storage, Encoding, Procedural memory, Semantic memory, Episodic memory. Information processing theories is also applied in classroom teaching which gives us the idea on how we implement the teaching strategies.

Commulative Learning Theory According to Klausmeir, learning occurs as the individual develops higher level skills that build successively on lower skills. There are 7 types of Learning according to level of skills/capabilities the Signal learning, Stimulus-response Learning, Motor Chains/Verbal Chains Learning, Discriminating Learning, Problem Solving, Rule-Learning, Concept Learning This commulative learning theory is also applied in classroom teaching in order for us to determine the kind of learner we encounter.

"Behavioral Theories of Learning"

         In behavioral theories of learning that was reported by Hazel last week. The report is more on the ability, capacity and the behavior of a student inside the classroom and on motivation, tactics on how to make a student become a progressive. I have learned about the learning elements of Borich, the environment, performance and reinforcement. Also the operant conditioning theory of B.F. Skinner that gives emphasis on how the learning occurs during the operant or instrumental processes.

"LEARNING"

        As what I have understand in Ms. Entor's report in our previous meeting, is that learning is a lifetime process and it is not a passive observation of knowledge. Because every single second, minute and hour of our life encounters different scenarios that can make affect our lives and has a big possibility making us change. Whether it is a problem or a blessing as long as it affects us, there the learning occurs. I have read this line during my research stated that, "Learning is a form of adaptation, a mode of adjustment and a change of behavior (bugelski 1956)" and I agree for this word.
