David Kolb published his learning styles model in 1984, from which he developed his learning style inventory. Kolb’s experiential learning theory works on two levels: a four-stage learning cycle and four separate learning styles.
Self-care is the actions we take to look after our own mental health. It’s about trying to listen to how we are feeling and understanding what we need, even if it’s difficult, so we can care for ourselves. Self-care can take many forms, such as physical, spiritual, and emotional self-care.
Jean Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development outlines four stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational) in a child's cognitive development from infancy to adolescence.
Psychological theories are systems of ideas that can explain certain aspects of human thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Psychology researchers create these theories to make predictions for future human behaviors or events that may take place if certain behaviors exist.
The Gibbs Reflective Cycle is a structured framework designed to guide individuals through the process of reflecting on experiences in a systematic way. If you’re new to structured reflection, begin with reflecting on less complex experiences.
Bloom's Taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity. The three lists cover the learning objectives in cognitive, affective, and sensory domains, namely: thinking skills, emotional responses, and physical skills.
The frontal lobe contains the motor cortex, which is involved in planning and coordinating movement; the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-level cognitive functioning; and Broca’s area, which is essential for language production.
There are five basic types of learning theory: behaviorist, cognitive, constructivist, social, and experiential. This section provides a brief introduction to each type of learning theory.
The preoperational stage is the second stage in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. This stage begins around age two and lasts until approximately age seven. During this period, children think at a symbolic level but are not yet using cognitive operations.
The zone of proximal development was developed by Soviet psychologist and social constructivist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). Vygotsky introduced the ZPD concept to criticize psychometric testing, which only measured current abilities, not potential for development.
