Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism - The Basics

Behaviorism:  Based on observable changes in behavior.
Behaviorism focuses on a new behavioral pattern  being repeated until it becomes automatic.



Cognitivism:  Based on the thought process behind the behavior. Changes in behavior are observed, and used  as indicators as to what is happening inside the learner's mind

Constructivism: Based on the premise that we all construct our own perspective of the world, through individual experiences and schema. Constructivism focuses on preparing the learner to problem solve in ambiguous situations.(Schuman, 1996)
