Comparison of Major Learning Paradigms

I like this article because it clearly discusses the meanings of different learning theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. According to Eun Ju Jung and Dr. Michael Orey, the theories of behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism have been used to improve learning techniques and performance in Instructional Technology fields because they have unique features that relate to the learning process. This article further compares and contrasts each learning theory and discusses the theoretical roles of Instructors and students in the learning process.
