It was a great review to discuss the learning theories tonight. I love learning about the different concepts behind each theory. Each group emphasized the main points and trends of their theory which made it easy to understand. Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Multiple Intelligences & Emotional Intelligences, Brain-Compatible Theories and Social Constructivism all discuss the way patterns and processing information can help you learn. A teacher should be able to really examine and reflect on their teachings to learn how to make improvements in their teaching, as well as creating an adaptable environment for learning and critical thinking. I wouldn't think that the same theory would work for everyone all the time. Using some concepts from each theory can maximize learning.
It was great to meet and listen to one of Dr. Smirnova's past students. It was encouraging to hear her positive experiences and know that all this hard work will pay off.
