differences between two plans

Differences between two learning styles

Behaviorism is a theory based on learned behavior or conditioned learning. The perfect example of this is the Pavlov salivation experiment, where Pavlov conditioned the dog to salivate at the sound of the dinner bell, sometimes the bell will not follow a treat and yet the dog reaction is still the same. Therefor a behaviorist classroom is not one of independent learning, rather it is an administrative and teacher driven classroom, where the children are being thought what the school wants them to learn and are not concerned at all about the students interests. This method does not motivate the students to stay in school or learn, because the curricula really has nothing of interest to them, these classroom are deemed boring by the students, at the conclusion of the school year the student will not be able to recall anything that was thought in the classroom, no information is retained at all. This method is more of the old way of teaching where students dreaded going to school. Constructivist plans is made up of six different and vital parts. Situation is the primary part to the constructivist lesson plan, because it is what the teacher will set up for the students to not only understand but to be able to explain in great details, second is grouping; this is when the teacher place students into groups mainly based on the students’ level of understanding and experience, and similar background. Bridge is when a teacher is adding to what the student already learned; usually through life experiences and prior knowledge which will hell expend the child’s mind. Questioning usually occur during teaching because a teacher would have to anticipate any question the students may have, this show’s understanding of what the lesson the teacher was explaining. Exhibit is when the students can act out or make displays their understanding of what they have learned. The final stage is Reflections, this is when the teacher finds out the students interpretation and how they feel about the lesson.
