5 Educational Learning Theories
Learning Theories simply means how the students 
are able to take the information, process it and 
grasp the knowledge by understanding it during 
their learning process. Students depend on the 
teacher for their learning so a little change in 
learning theories can make a huge impact on 
students learning process as every student is 
different and one way of teaching won’t help each 
student so in order to provide a better learning 
atmosphere teacher should use different learning 
theories like Cognitive, Behaviorism, and etc. it will 
help them connect better with students. 
5 Educational Learning Theories
Students are able to understand information and this 
will leads to improvement in the performance of 
students. Teachers of schools in Dehradun use 
learning theories in the classroom which will improve 
the learning process of students. Different type of 
learning will help develop critical thinking, problem-
solving skills in the students which will help them 
become successful in life.
Cognitive Learning
This type of learning focuses on the thinking of 
students and how the students use their thinking in 
order to solve the problem as cognitive learning 
works on the principle of using old knowledge to 
create new knowledge. These students start thinking 
critically and start using old information to create a 
new way to solve the problems by using their 
thinking.
Connective Learning
Out of all the learning Theories Connective 
learning is supposedly a new learning theory, in 
this theory, it is believed that Students learn 
and develop when they form connections. This 
type of Learning came to light after the 
advancement of technology so now Teachers 
can use Digital tools like videos, infographic, 
audio, and etc. 
Behaviourism 
This is probably the old learning theory that 
believes that the learner is passive which can be 
mold positively or negatively by the feedback 
Teachers can use this learning theory in their 
classroom and if students are doing the task 
correctly the teacher can applaud them by giving 
verbal feedback and when students are doing 
their task incorrectly teachers can just let them 
know by giving feedback and help them to 
perform the task correctly.
Humanism 
This theory believes suggests to have a more 
Humanity approach in learning and teacher 
should work as a facilitator and establish an 
atmosphere in the classroom where students 
are comfortable with sharing a new idea, 
humanism learning have a holistic approach 
while measuring the performance of students 
where teachers measure emotion.
Constructivism
 This learning theory is more like 
cognitive learning as in this students take 
their previous knowledge and use that 
knowledge to build new knowledge and 
in this teachers just act as a guide and 
give the students freedom to solve the 
problem using their own process and 
method. Few activities which a teacher 
can perform in class like they can pair 
two students and ask them to teach each 
other or to give a problem-solving 
project.
