​Instruction revolves around a cyclical pattern of teacher-modeling, student-repitition, and teacher-reinforcement

​​Behaviorism

​

​Learning is an active and "constructive process." Learning in the classroom is evident when students are building knowledge by doing hands-on learning

Instruction looks like guided problem solving. 

New information is link to prior knowledge; self-relevant education; making connections to their own experiences

​​Constructivism

Instruction usually grabs the attention of learners and helps make sense of the information so it can be stored more readily stored (learned) later for recall. 

​​Cognitivism
