From Luna’s blog post#1 here is my comment:
This is a well-organized and thoughtful blog post, Luna! You’ve done a wonderful job connecting learning theories to your personal experiences and teaching strategies, making the concepts relatable and meaningful. Your example of hands-on, real-world learning through the EHR training module demonstrates how powerful constructivist approaches can be in fostering deeper understanding and engagement.
Reflecting on the different theories, it’s fascinating to consider how they shape not just individual learning experiences but also broader educational practices. How might these approaches influence the way we design learning environments for diverse groups of students? It’s also intriguing to think about how the balance between behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism might shift depending on the subject or context.
Your insights highlight how learning is not a one-size-fits-all process—it evolves with the learner, the situation, and the goals at hand. This makes me wonder: to what extent do we, as learners and educators, naturally gravitate toward certain theories, and how can we challenge ourselves to embrace a more holistic approach? Your reflections provide a great starting point for these broader conversations!
