LEARNING THEORIES

If I was planning an instructional design for students calculating and comparing cost of various brands of the same product, I would make use of the Behavioral Learning Theory. For instance, I would make sure the students are listening by observing as I ask for one of the students in the classroom to read. If I don’t have the students undivided attention how will they be able to learn the content. I also will apply Cognitive Information Theory to the lesson by asking students how the cost of products relates to real life situations. This gives the students to remember times that they paid more than the item cost and different stores. In addition, it allows students to retrieve long term information if it brings some type of value to their lives. These are two ways I can apply the learning theories to my lesson.
