One of our assignments this past week included selecting our top two pics for our Learning Theory Group Assignment. I chose Cognitivism for my first choice and Communities of Practice for my second pick. I chose these two simply because I found I could relate to them.
Here's a brief description of each:
COGNITIVISM
(Source) Briefly speaking, cognitivism means through interaction and self cognition development to acquire knowledge, and concern what learner know and how to use efficiency way to processing information.
COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
(Source) Etienne Wenger summarizes Communities of Practice (CoP) as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” This learning that takes place is not necessarily intentional. Three components are required in order to be a CoP: (1) the domain, (2) the community, and (3) the practice.
I wonder which theory I'll be assigned to. I almost, intentionally, chose the theory I found the least interesting just to challenge myself. I may still do this... more later.
