Gestalt Theory

 Gestalt= Sum of all parts

Grow’s Four stages of Independent

learning

 A self directed learning model

 4 learning stages

 Learner approaches from

Dependent, Interest, Involve and

Self direction

 Teacher acts as a coach, motivator,

facilitator and delegated

Kolb’s learning cycle

For a meaningful learning to occur it

should go through 4 stage cycle

Concrete experience, Reflective

Observation, Abstract

conceptualization, Active

Experimentation

• Feel , Watch, Think , Do

Bloom’s taxonomy

 A hierarchical model

 Classify learning objectives into

complexity levels

 Remember, Understand, Apply,

Analyze, Evaluate, Understand
