Learning Theories: Views from Behaviourism Theory and Constructivism Theory

Abstract

Scholars, psychologists and pedagogues like Al-Ghazali, Skinner, Piaget, Vygotsky and others give us an opportunity to have an insight into: 1) How to re-think education; 2) What is the most comprehensive way for a learner to learn?; 3) Imagine a new environment that can give a better future especially for a growing child. They are the people who remind us that learning always involve interaction with other people, submitting ourselves to other people’s ideas or values not just by ourselves. This article presented some of these great scholar and psychological theory and ideas while also discussed their contribution, the differences and at the end how those theories interconnected between one another.
