Learning Theory

As my picture suggest, learning theories focus mostly on our brain. however according to Burns (1995, p99) 'conceives of learning as a relatively permanent change in behaviour with behaviour including both observable activity and internal processes such as thinking, attitudes and emotions.' It is clear that Burns includes motivation in this definition of learning. Burns considers that learning might not manifest itself in observable behaviour until some time after the educational program has taken place.

In my presentation at school about learning theories I elaborate about the brain and how it can affect learning. The brain has four structures:  Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Limbic System, and Brain Stem
