Course modified date: 24 Jul 2024
In this course, learn about the theorists that introduced learning through play and the theories they supported.

Introduction 
Learning theories suggest how children learn, how they keep the information and how they recall the information that they have learned. 
Through the years many philosophers, teachers and psychologists have tried to answer these questions.
The main learning theories that have been created are behaviourism and constructivism.
Behaviourism suggests that the child has no previous knowledge and that children learn when new behaviours are created.
Constructivism suggests that during learning, the children build what they know instead of just getting it. Knowledge is built based on person experience, we look into the learning theorists that supported constructivism and their views on learning through play.
