Theories and Science

  H i, today we will talk about Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development. Let's get right into it, shall we? Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development constitute an adaptation of a psychological theory originally conceived by the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. Kohlberg began work on this topic while a psychology graduate student at the University of Chicago in 1958, and expanded and developed this theory throughout his life.      The theory holds that moral reasoning , the basis for ethical behaviour, has six identifiable developmental stages , each more adequate at responding to moral dilemmas than its predecessor.

Expanding on Piaget's work , Kohlberg determined that the process of moral development was principally concerned with justice, and that it continued throughout the knowledge...

  Hi, today we are gonna talk about yet another category of theories, this one being the last we are talking about for some time. Today, we are gonna talk about the "Theories of teaching". Let's get right into it and start with the definition, shall we?      Theories about instruction and teaching are responsible for explaining and scientifically substantiate the teaching-learning process.     1. The theory of learning by discovery This theory was developed by Bruner and with it exposes the active role of the learner in the learning process. It promotes that the person is acquiring knowledge itself, so that the final content that is reached is not exposed from the beginning, but is being discovered by the person as it progresses. With this type of learning it aims to overcome the limitations of mechanistic learning, promote stimulation and motivation in students, as well as enhance metacognitive strategies and learn to learn. Bruner's theory is one of cons...

 Hi, today we are gonna talk about yet another category of theories. The ones we will talk today about are the Cognitive Theories . Let's start with the definition, shall we? These theories form part of cognitive psychology, which develops the study of the mental processes involved in knowledge . They are responsible for the study of those processes that individuals use to acquire and organize the information of the environment, through the use of both simple mental processes and higher processes.     1. The theory of information processing The model established by Atkinson and Shiffrin is a theory that explains human memory, dividing it into three different types. These types are: = Sensory memory;                                                          ...
