I like the connection between behaviourism and education sport. It shows the learning method in a group environment and developing those skills together. The way that it was described, it also promotes everyone to be active in what they are learning and to take into consideration how their work effects others. The note of viewing how other people conceptualize material is another interesting take on how cognitivism works. The main part that I find interesting is how it worked alongside the professor. It is cool to see it actually effect the rest of the course and the emphasis that it put on student connections. It is also great that in the constructivism example of being allowed to take control of your learning and thinking about the material in shades of grey. Critical thinking is something that should be implemented early on in in university and it is great that the professor implemented that. 

Post #1: : Learning Theory – Behavioralist, cognitivist, or constructivist?

I appreciate how this post was a self-reflective look at the three learning styles. Being able to look at your own work and see how what you are doing applies to the theory is an interesting way to reflect on it. As with a lot of theory put into practice, people tend to use a mix of theories, which you noted in yourself. It was great to see the many different approaches that you used to teach students math, and how they were allowed to talk with each other about their learning and how you applied to real world circumstances. It is a great way to get learners involved with each other and help them apply what they are learning in their day to day life.
