EMPAT PERSPEKTIF TEORI BELAJAR

Teachers and students of educational psychology, curriculum development, instructional methodology and related areas will find useful information. Brief biological sketches of the theorists are provided, when such information is available.

Theories about human learning can be grouped into four broad "perspectives". These are
1.   Behaviorism - focus on observable behavior
2.   Cognitive - learning as purely a mental/ neurological process
3.   Humanistic - emotions and affect play a role in learning
4.   Social - humans learn best in group activities

The development of these theories over many decades is a fascinating story. Some theories developed as a negative reaction to earlier ones. Others built upon foundational theories, looking at specific contexts for learning, or taking them to a more sophisticated level.

Within each "perspective" listed below, there may be more than one cluster of theories.
