Purpose:
As a professional early childhood educator, it is essential that you have a knowledge and understanding of how children learn. You will be in a position to articulate this knowledge and understanding by developing a perspective of learning. How you teach and learn with children in a learning environment will be the direct result of your beliefs around how children learn and how this learning may be impacted by their physical, social and intellectual (cognitive) development and characteristics. Your individual learning perspective that you develop in this unit will be built upon and refined in a subsequent unit next semester in the course.

Description:
Part A (40%): Views of Learning (approx.2300 words)
In this unit, we have overviewed different views of learning. Choose two (2) theories of learning from the list below. Explain what these 2 different views are and use your understandings to critique and analyse (compare/contrast) the two. Refer to the table on pp.292-293 of the unit text to overview the elements of each theory. The following eight (8) main elements from this table need to be included and used to structure your discussion:

The main focus, primary goal, role of learners, role of teachers, curriculum, motivation strategies, strengths and limitations.

Theories of learning:
1. Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory
2. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development
3. Skinner’s operant conditioning theory
4. Roger’s non-directive teaching and ‘freedom to learn’ theory
5. Bandura’s social cognitive theory
6. Information processing and learning theory

Use a wide range of academic sources to reference and substantiate your research (minimum of 5 and include your unit text as one of these). Write in 3rd person.

Part B: (20%): Your View of Learning (700 words)
As a professional educator in early childhood, it is important that you are able to articulate and justify your own view of the child and learning. Explain which learning theory (covered in this unit) most strongly aligns with your view of teaching and learning with young children and why. Use a range of academic sources to reference and substantiate your research. You can use 1st and 3rd person in this section.
