Instructionalism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The instructional theory is a theory of learning in which the student is instructed to do something. The learner is given knowledge which he should passively absorb. This imparted knowledge is deepened through exercises, for example with the four-step method .

This learning theory follows the model of behaviorism , i. that is, stimulus-response models are enhanced. A reaction is trained to a certain stimulus.

The advantage of this learning model is that the learning process is very simple, the learner does not have to have much personal responsibility for his or her learning process, since this is predetermined and the learning success can also be easily controlled, since the learning objectives are predefined for the learners. The knowledge imparted is thus collaborative.

The disadvantage here is that the learner is not taken into account as an individual. His prior knowledge, experiences and strengths are hardly discussed. It follows from this that the knowledge acquired is not very individual either. It follows that this learned knowledge is poorly stored in the learner. See also constructionism .
