Ever since the end of last century, there has been a trend in North America to promote, or restore active learning in college/university classrooms. This paper, based on some explorations of the social constructivism, the six assumptions in Andragogy, the ARCS model, the active learning theory and some practical activities, proposes an integrated education philosophy about adult learning. It is assumed this will be able to provide some insight and guidance for college practitioners.展开更多

In the process of the new curriculum reform in China, constructivism has become one of the main theories of guiding education and teaching reform, and has played a good role in promoting the reform of traditional education and teaching. As for secondary vocational education which is confused in curriculum development, constructivism can also provide new ideas for it. How to combine constructivism with secondary vocational curriculum development, and how to apply the constructivist curriculum concept to the development of secondary vocational curriculum is the core of this research.展开更多

The Connectivism-Constructivism learning theory is not a simple superposition of the two theories. Instead, it absorbs the essence of the learning theory of Constructivism, Connectivism and Neo-Constructivism, and takes the two empirical scientific experimental results of developmental cognitive neuroscience and spiking neural network as the factual basis, and develops two theories from the perspective of development. Integration, to achieve the resolution of contradictions, complement each other, and then rebuild. This paper discusses Con<span "="">nectivism-Constructivism learning theory. The theory holds that the essence of knowledge is the connecti<span style="letter-spacing:-0.05pt;">on between the subject and the environment. There are two form</span>s: physical form and logical form. </span><span "="">The </span><span "="">only logical form can be realized and utilized by people. Learning can be divided into two stages: connection and construction. Connection is the premise, construction is the core, and the network action generated in the connection stage as a raw material is pruned, and processed by various systems in the construction stage to become psychological representation. When the psychological representation is used, the relevant network shaping is finished, and the meaningful network is formed, which completes the change of knowledge from physical form to logical form and from logical form to physical form. Therefore, learning is the process of constructing meaningful network. We should not only promote the students’ connection stage, but also help the students’ construction stage. The innovation and breakthrough contribution of this paper is that it is the first time to look at the topic of learning theory from a new research perspective. In order t<span style="letter-spacing:-0.05pt;">o explore a more convincing learning theoretical framework, this artic</span>le takes the lead in seeking theoretical support and factual basis from developmental cognitive neuroscience and Spiking neural network. As a result, Connectivism learning theory and Constructivism learning theory are successfully integrated into a rather complete and effective theoretical framework to reconstruct Connectivism-Constructivism learning theory.展开更多

It is assumed this will be able to provide some insight and guidance for college practitioners.
