DEFINITION OF LEARNING TYPES
• learning styles refer to personalities, beliefs, choices, and behaviors used
by individuals to assist in learning according to the conditions that have
been conditioned (Risnawati and Ghufron, 2012)
• learning style is someone's way of how he absorbs, remembers, manages
the information and how to think in solving problems or problems based
on the student's personality (De Porter, 2010)
• learning is a process, an activity and not an outcome or goal. Learning is
not just remembering, but wider than that, namely experiencing
(Hamalik, 2010)
TYPES OF LEARNING STYLE

LEARNING THEORIES
• BEHAVIOURISM
Behaviourism focuses on the idea that all behaviours are learned through
interaction with the environment. This learning theory states that behaviours
are learned from the environment, and says that innate or inherited factors
have very little influence on behaviour. (Williams and Anandam, 1973)
• CLASSICAL CONDITIONING (Ivan Pavlov)
involves placing an impartial stimulus before a reflex
There are three stages of classical conditioning. At each stage the stimuli and responses are given
special scientific terms:
There are two kinds of reinforcers. In both of these cases of reinforcement, the behavior increases.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Positive reinforcers are favorable events or outcomes that are presented after the behavior.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Negative reinforcers involve the removal of an unfavorable events or outcomes after the display of a behavior.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
There are two kinds of punishment. In both of these cases, the behavior decreases
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Positive punishment, sometimes referred to as punishment by application, presents an unfavorable event or
outcome in order to weaken the response it follows
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Negative punishment, also known as punishment by removal, occurs when a favorable event or outcome is
removed after a behavior occurs
LEARNING THEORIES
• CONSTRUCTIVISM
learners construct knowledge rather than just passively take in information. As
people experience the world and reflect upon those experiences, they build their own
representations and incorporate new information into their pre-existing knowledge.
Assimilation refers to the process of taking new information and fitting it into an
existing schema.
Accommodation refers to using newly acquired information to revise and redevelop
an existing schema.
LEARNING THEORIES
• PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
children move through four different stages of mental development
SCHEMA ASSIMILATION
includes both a category of knowledge The process of taking in new
and the process of obtaining that information into our already existing
knowledge. As experiences happen, this schemas
new information is used to modify, add
to, or change previously existing
schemas.
ACCOMMODATION EQUILIBRATION
adaptation involves changing or altering a balance between assimilation and
our existing schemas in light of new accommodation
information
it is important to maintain a balance
between applying previous knowledge
(assimilation) and changing behavior to
account for new knowledge
(accommodation).
LEARNING THEORIES
• CONDITIONING
the process of shaping involves the reinforcement of successive approximations of the
target behaviour.
• OBSERVATION
observing and modeling another individual’s behavior, attitudes, or emotional
expressions
• IMITATION
individuals may simply learn from the behavior rather than imitate it.
