Behaviorism vs. Constructivism

Strengths and WeaknessesStrengths and Weaknesses

Theory Strengths Weaknesses

Behaviorism Learner focuses on and responds to a clear goal

Learner might be in a situation whereby the correct behavior is not connected to the learner’s knowledge

Constructivism Learner learns to interpret multiple realities and deal with real life situations

In some instances, learners might have to think and respond in the exact same manner and different realities might not suit the learning process.

New behavioral pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic.

Use info from task analysis to determine behavioral changes needed for the task.

Sequence of learning events to reach goals

Analysis Objectives Learning Events

Evaluation Instruction

Tools and the environment are analyzed

Focuses on preparing the learner to problem solve in ambiguous situations

Objectives are negotiated as student adjusts understanding of reality to make sense of new knowledge

For many years, cartoons have been used to educate (e.g. political cartoons), tell a story (e.g. Egyptian tomb paintings), and to story board (e.g. commercials/ads). Cartoons can now be incorporated for both illustrating a concept or as student assignments.
