➢ Connectionism Theory is built on the foundation that

learning is the result of associations forming between
stimuli and responses. These associations or “habits”
become strengthened or weakened by the nature and
CONNECTIONISM EDWARD THRONDIKE frequency of the stimulus-response pairings. It lays
(1874-1949) importance on the value of repetition, drill and practice
for memorizing and mastering of any learnt material. It
emphasizes that there should not be a long gap
between one practice and the next one because long
time disuse may lead to forgetting.
➢ Mark is a graduating student. But
they are not still finished with their
thesis. They have submitted their
work several times, but there is
always something wrong with it.
They correct each mistake every time
it is returned to them until it is
correct.

➢ It is a concept in psychology that refers to the belief
that behavior manifests as a result of the interplay
between stimulus and response. In particular, the belief
The Principles of JAMES WATSON is that a subject is presented with a stimulus, and then
Stimulus-Responces (1878-1958) responds to that stimulus, producing “behavior” (the
object of psychology’s study, as a field). In other words,

in their math subject, after which

why they went to the canteen and
ate right away.

behavior cannot exist without a stimulus of some sort,

at least from this perspective.

➢ Classical Conditioning is learning through the

association of a neutral stimulus with a biologically
potent stimulus. The biologically potent stimulus is an
involuntary response also known as a reflex. The
concept of classical conditioning is studied by every
entry-level psychology student. It is a type of learning
that had a major influence on the school of thought in
psychology known as behaviorism.

confiscated Mark’s cellphone and
deducted him 5 points on the quiz.
➢ Operant conditioning, sometimes referred to as
instrumental conditioning, is a method of learning that
employs rewards and punishments in which behavior is
influenced by what happens after an event through
positive or negative reinforcement.

It is much more important to understand how a person

behaves and how their environment affects that
behavior in order to have a basic concept of their
psychological condition.

to do so. It’s different than classical or operant

conditioning, which are techniques that stimulate or
reinforce specific behaviors with rewards. Latent
learning has no immediate benefits but remains in a
subject’s mind until they need to demonstrate it.

➢ In order to get the students attention

Mr. Dan used a video presentation
NINE LEVEL OF ROBERT GAGNE (1916- while teaching them about their
LEARNING 2002) topic “sun and moon”. Additionally,
Mr. Dan made sure the students
understood what they were
supposed to learn. He then assigned
them a task that required them to
present the topic of their discussion.
Mr. Dan will give a comment on each
piece of work of his students.
➢ Gagne’s nine levels of learning provide a grade by grade
technique that can assist managers, trainers, and
facilitators to shape or groups to get the maximum from
their studying opportunities. You can create a strategic
framework to plan and give step-by-step precise
training with the aid of Gagne’s nine learning levels. As
a result, Gagne’s Nine Levels of Learning’s support
provides a useful strategy that enables administrators
to influence the learning process.
