Theories

The document discusses several developmental learning theories and cognitive theories that support Mother Tongue Based Multi-Lingual Education (MTB-MLE). It outlines Jean Piaget's Developmental Learning Theory, R.C. Anderson's Schema Theory, and Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory. It also discusses theories of bilingualism including the Balance Theory, Iceberg Analogy, Threshold Theory, and levels of bilingualism. Overall, the document provides an overview of the rationale for MTB-MLE by exploring relevant learning theories and research on bilingual cognitive development.

learning theories
Mother Tongue Based Multi-Lingual Education

• Mother Tongue Based Multi-Lingual Education has its


learning theories that help learners understand their own
personal learning history and assist teachers in developing
appropriate community- based learning activities
The learning theories are:
• The Development Learning Theory by Jean Piaget, a Swiss scientist (1896- 1980)
noticed that children learn by passing through a consistent series of stage in
cognitive development
2. The Schema Theory by R.C. Anderson, a
respected educational psychologist organized
knowledge as an elaborate network of abstract
mental structures which represent one's
understanding of the world.
What is SCHEMA?
A schema is a cluster related pieces of
information, knowledge or memory that are
stored in mind. They are also called "cognitive
frameworks" as they are a system for
categorizing information and memory.
3. The Social Learning Theory by Albert
Bandura asked the question, “How are societies
so successful in transmitting their ideas of what
is good and bad behavior, of what is valued, and
of what skills are most important?” The learners
in these societies often seem unaware that they
have been “taught” these behaviors
SOCIAL LEARNING
THEORY
• emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors,
attitudes and reactions of other.

• SLT posits that people learn from one another. via:

• Observation

• Imitation

• Modeling Optional: Introduce new

Main points

- The human brain is capable of storing more than one language.

- Bilinguals have the ability to use two language, there is one part of the
brain that controls both.

- This central operating system is in charge of reading, writing, listening.

- This system can obtain knowledge presented in either language and can use
it if the learner has developed a high enough level in that language

(example. math skills, historical facts, cognitive skills).
