Which theory of learning emphasizes the importance of motivation and self-regulation in learning?
According to behaviorism, learning is a gradual process that occurs through the accumulation of small, incremental changes in behavior.
Cognitivism emphasizes the role of mental processes, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, in learning.
Constructivism emphasizes the role of the learner in actively constructing knowledge through their interactions with the learning environment.
Social learning theory emphasizes the role of observation and imitation in learning, suggesting that individuals learn by observing and imitating the behaviors of others.
Self-Determination Theory emphasizes the importance of motivation and self-regulation in learning, suggesting that individuals are more likely to learn when they are intrinsically motivated and have a sense of autonomy and competence.
Which theory of learning emphasizes the importance of social interaction and collaboration in learning?
According to behaviorism, reinforcement is any consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
Cognitivism emphasizes the role of mental processes, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, in learning.
