Learning theories: The basics to learn in medical education

Abstract

[...]it was taken by people easily as something different from pedagogy, i.e., a different point of view for adult learning as compared to kids. [...]experiential learning does provide us different aspects of learning but is not a theory per se. [...]they represent learning in context with stage of learner and situations. In constructivism theory, teacher acts more like a facilitator and guides the learning of the students. [...]the behaviorism theory is teacher-centered; cognitivism, humanism, and constructivism theory are learner-centered.
