DISCOVERY LEARNING THEORY
- Children need a chance to explore, experience,
and connect information in order to truly
understand and internalize abstract principles.
-to solve the problem, students must gather
information, research, and ask questions about
possible solutions to the given problem.
SOCIO-CULTURAL THEORY
- -The role of social interaction and culture play
in the development of higher-order thinking
skills.
-human development and learning originate in
social and cultural interaction. In other words, the
ways people interact with others and the culture
in which they live shape their mental abilities.
CONSTRUCTIVIST THEORY
- -Learning is an active process wherein those
learning are able to form new ideas based on
what their current knowledge is as well as their
past knowledge.
