week 6~

today class is more on discussion with group members....Dr. J gave us time to discuss in group on the learning theory, strategy and activity we plan to use for the web....it quite hard for us to make decision to choose the most appropriate learning theory and strategy that suits our title on digital graphic: bitmap vs vector.....

in addition 2 of 4 of my group members which is aimi & of course me myself don't have any educational background...so we have to make extra effort to understand first what is learning theory is all about...besides, other group members; kak intan & kak puteri help us to understand it...huhu

and my finding from wikipedia....

A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people and animals learn, thereby helping us understand the inherently complex process of learning. Learning theories have two chief values according to Hill (2002). One is in providing us with vocabulary and a conceptual framework for interpreting the examples of learning that we observe. The other is in suggesting where to look for solutions to practical problems. The theories do not give us solutions, but they do direct our attention to those variables that are crucial in finding solutions.
There are three main categories or philosophical frameworks under which learning theories fall: behaviorismcognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses only on the objectively observable aspects of learning. Cognitive theories look beyond behavior to explain brain-based learning. And constructivism views learning as a process in which the learner actively constructs or builds new ideas or concepts.



after having some discussion.....we totally agree to choose problem based learning for our learning strategy....yeay!...it is not because affected by Dr. J example...but we think pbl is really suits to deliver our content to the users....(>_<)v
