4. How will the theorists studied, fit in the 21st century classroom?
Theorists
Pavlov
Piaget
Skinner
Vygotsky
5. Piaget in the 21st Century Classroom
Sensorimotor (0-2 years)
Pre Operational (2-7 years)
Piagets Stages
Concrete Operational (7-11 years)
Formal Operational (11+ years)
Donatelli(n.d.) suggests that Piagets theories will still apply, even if in revised and adapted forms as a teacher in an online classroom will still need to be able to display rules, communication, development of students and also socialisation of students.
Cantin (2010) states that when keeping in mind Piagets definition of learning of an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts, he points out that lecture style lesson does not fit in with this theory. He went on to explain a newtechnological classroom he has visited, using Technology EnabledActive Learning, that was not only modern but emphasised hands-on, interactive, collaborative learning.
McClure (1988)states that there are less traditionalkinds of enquiry to help the studentmature and become more capable to grow through Piagets stages of development.He includes examples of using real world examples in teaching to be able give meaning to the lesson.
6.

Vygotskys theory has come to prominence due to a change in thinking away from a biologically based understanding of human behaviour, tothe social/cultural explanation of human activity.

7. Vygotskys theory of the Zone of Proximal Development has a direct impact on teaching practise as it reveals the hidden potential of a student through scaffolding techniques. 8. Vygotskys theories have teaching professionals rethink the broad stereotypes such as socioeconomic status and ethnic minority. 9. That each individual is just that individual.Vygotsky in the 21st Century Classroom
10. Pavlov in the 21st Century Classroom
Pavlovs Theory
Unconditioned Stimulus
Pavlov was one of the first theorists to use behaviourism as a theory to explain learning and development.
His basis was around 5 key elements, being unconditioned stimuli, unconditioned response, neutral stimulus, conditioned stimulus and conditioned response (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010)
Pavlovs work spurned further work by further theorists, mainly Skinner and Watson (Rockey, 2008).
Unconditioned Response
Neutral Stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response
11.

Skinner discovered the theory of Operant Conditioning.

12. Skinner found behaviour can be manipulated. 13. Skinners theories do not fit in the modern classroom. 14. Making all students conform to the prescribed norms would take away the student autonomy. 15. Behaviourism as a theory in the classroom is becoming outdated and replaced more by cognitive and constructivist theories around learning and development.Skinner in the 21st Century Classroom
16. Continued...............

There is still room for Piagets and Vygotskys theories in the classroom.

17.There is still some room for Pavlov in the classroomhowever it is limited as new theories to be embraced. 18. Skinners theories in the classroom may be drawing to an end. 19. As with any theory, none of the theorists can accurately or adequately predict what is going to work in the individual classroom. Teachers need to adapt to their audience, and this adaptation will have to change not only year to year, but term to term and even week to week. 20. Using different parts of different theories may be the best way to manage the classroom of the 21st century.
