Theoretical Foundations - Chapter 2

Read Chapter 2 of your textbook. It covers the behaviorist, cognitivist and constructivist theories.  Think back to your K-12 days as a student – select one of the teachers you had in the area you plan to teach in the future.  (Example – if you are going to be a middle school teacher, select one of your previous middle school teachers; if you are going to be a high school math teacher, select one of your previous high school math teachers)
Which of these theories did that teacher use?   Give an example of a class experience that demonstrates the teacher using that theory.  Will you use this theory in your classroom?  Why or why not?  Provide criteria/support for your choice.
