I have developed simple yet useful materials concerning how three major learning theoriesbehaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism can impact our education, and identified the major key points relevant to educational application. I organized the key points under the themes namelymajor beliefs, aims of education, characteristics of the curriculum, teaching-learning strategies, teacher-student relationship, strengths, and weaknesses. Hopefully, the comic characters and jokes will make the theories interesting to the readers. At the end of this reading of the theories, readers/teachers will be able to-▪ Explain the key ideas of the three learning theories. ▪ Explain how these theories are linked to education. ▪ Identify appropriate T/L strategies for specific learning goals.
