multigrade classes.

Let’s Try This

A. COMPLETE ME!

Directions: Recall the theories that you have learned in your previous subjects like Child and
Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles and Facilitating Learning. Accomplish the table
below.

Theories Views of Learning


Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all
BEHAVIORISM behaviors are learned through interaction
with the environment. This learning theory
states that behaviors are learned from the
environment, and says that innate or inherited
factors have very little influence on behavior
Cognitive Learning Theory uses metacognition
COGNITIVE —“thinking about thinking”—to understand
how thought processes influence learning. It's
often contrasted against—or complemented by—
Behavioral Learning Theory, which focuses on
the outside environment's influences on learning.
Constructivism is the theory that says learners
CONSTRUCTIVISM construct knowledge rather than just
passively take in information. As people
experience the world and reflect upon those
experiences, they build their own representations
and incorporate new information into their pre-
existing knowledge
The humanistic learning theory developed further
HUMANISM and harnesses the idea that if students are
upset, sad, or distressed, they're less likely to
be able to focus on learning. This encourages
teachers to create a classroom environment that
helps students feel comfortable and safe so they
can focus on their learning
Connectivism is a relatively new learning theory
CONNECTIVISM that suggests students should combine
thoughts, theories, and general information in
a useful manner. It accepts that technology is a
major part of the learning process and that our
constant connectedness gives us opportunities to
make choices about our learning.
Let’s Think About It

Answer the following questions:


1. Based on what you’ve written in the table; which theory/ies do you think contributes to
Multigrade classroom instruction?
-All
2. What are the implications of these learning theories to multi-grade classroom instruction?
- multigrade classes are seen as a child-centered and active process for the learner.
These classes focus on the process and include learning by experience, activities which
allow the children to experience. The classrooms include students of different age, level,
skill and readiness.
3. How do you see a multigrade classroom?
- A multigrade classroom simply means that there is more than one grade in the
room, working independently or together, with each student working towards their
individual curriculum goals for their grade level. They are learning simultaneously,
both together and apart. It sounds trickier than it really is.

Let’s Do It

Concept Map

Directions:
1. Read about the following:
 Self-Paced Learning
 Cooperative Learning
 Individual differences
 Differentiated instruction
2. Create a concept map that illustrates the similarities and differences of the ideas of
various theories in teaching multigrade classes. Discuss its implications by answering the
question “Using the theories as your reference, what suggestions could you give to a
teacher who is new to Multigrade teaching?”
