  3. Theory gives us perspective --> Like windows in a house get different perspectives.

    - Behaviorism: see the mind as a black box, learning process is semethign regular, expected and needs feedback (responses )

    Instruction is a repetition and reinforcement, practice makes perfection.

    -Cognitivism: See the mind as a computer, recall of stored information, which is involved also the long-term memory, grabs te outside attention and helps store the important information or what we might think it is important.

    -Constructivism: See the mind as a Rhizome network, learning is building knowledge by doing, excercising, guiding problem solving.

    2 types of theory:
    --> Descriptive: answer the question, What is learning?, it describe learning.

    -->Prescriptive: (Intructioanl theory) answer the question, How do we help people learn?
