Assignment task:
What does bible say about learning and teaching? Provide in depth information and references for the 2 learning theories?
Two learning theories that could be applied to the teaching methods used in this syllabus would include the following:
Cognitive Load Theory: This theory suggests that learners have a limited amount of working memory, and their learning can be hindered if they are overloaded with too much information at once. To avoid cognitive overload, the syllabus could be structured to present information in smaller chunks, using a mix of different media (reading, videos, workbooks), and frequent opportunities for retrieval practice through quizzes and essays. This approach could help learners to build upon their prior knowledge and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed.
Social Learning Theory: This theory suggests that learning can occur through observation and modeling. The syllabus could leverage this by incorporating opportunities for peer collaboration, discussions, and presentations through PowerPoint. These activities could provide opportunities for learners to observe and learn from each other, and to construct knowledge through interactions with their peers.
