Module 2 Cognitivism As A Learning Theory by Kimberly Dean

I agree with Kerr's s conclusion that "isms are important as a filter, just not a blinker".  His statement could mean that yes all of these behavior/learning theories are important, but not one is the be all end all.  And as Kapp states as educators we should take the best of all to help us  examine how our students learn and how they view ideas and thoughts and what they think about their thinking.  We know that all of us learn differently, we could all see the same sight and give different explanations.  That's because we all view things differently.
