Welcome to Part 3 of the Podcast Series on Learning Theories.
Today we'll talk about Adult Learning Theory, Constructivism and Self-Determination Theory
Here are the key points of this episode :
1.
Adult Learning Theory highlights ways that adult learners differ from younger learners.
The theory is based on five key assumptions : Self-Concept, Experience, Readiness, Orientation, Motovation
-
2.
Constructivism suggests that we build our understanding and interpretation of information based on our experience and existing knowledge.
-
3.
Self-Determination Theory suggests that we have three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence & relatedness) that contribute towards our intrinsic motivation. And if we can satisfy these needs, we can help to motivate ourselves to take action.
