    Learning theories provide foundations for education and influence classroom environments. They explain how learning occurs and factors that influence it, as well as provide different approaches to teaching. Constructivism is a key theory that emphasizes active learning, with students constructing their own understandings by building on prior knowledge and making connections between new and old information. The author categorizes their own teaching approach as constructivist, starting from students' existing knowledge and introducing new concepts, asking deep questions to encourage analysis and problem-solving rather than simply disseminating knowledge. Their role is to facilitate student-centered active engagement through problems for students to analyze, synthesize, and draw conclusions from.

    Learning Theories And Classroom Practices

    Learning theories are one of the foundations of education and influence the climate and activity
    within classrooms. They explain how learning occurs and factors that influence learning. They also
    afford us variety in pedagogies. The learning theories help to enhance student development and
    understanding. The learning theories are behaviorism, constructivism, cognitivism and humanism

    Active learning is a key part of the Constructivism. If the materials are useful and beneficial to
    them, they will be likely to master it. Conversely, if the materials are irrelevant, they will be likely not
    going to learn it. Student should actively understand the learning materials rather than passively
    absorbing and memorizing it. The students should be able to construct their own understanding and
    building on what the student already knows. They make connections between new information and old
    information.

    I would categorize my teaching approach as constructivism approach. I teach my students based on


    their prior existing knowledge and gradually build up from there. From what they already known, I
    introduced new concepts. Teacher should not just disseminate knowledge to students and students are
    like empty “vessel” receives it. Instead, I ask deep questions and give challenging problems to encourage
    them to analyze, discuss and brainstorm to find the answers or solutions. This helps them to construct
    new knowledge and skills by building on current knowledge and skills. My role is a facilitator who guides
    and helps students in their learning. I focus on the active engagement of students (learner-centered). I
    gave them the problems and they are required to analyze, synthesize, and draw conclusions from the
    information. They generate solutions to problems using creative and rational thought. They think
    creatively through imagining new possibilities and thinking logically through thinking rigorously and
    methodically. They also demonstrated inquiry or intellectual curiosity from my thoughtful questions. I
    always like to use different ways to engage my students.
