Module 2-Blog Topic

Best of Both Worlds

Before reading the two blog post from Bill Kerr and Karl Kapp I was certain that the blogs would be different and argumentative, however they were similiar in so many ways that I agreed with. Cognitivism and behavorism are indeed two theories that has its strengths in the education and learning process and they both have something useful to offer. And, accoriding the Kerr, it seems that each _ism is offering something useful without any of them being complete or stand alone in their own right. Now, it is safe to say that that certain _isms add more ideas and insights of how information processing occurs within the human brain. All of the _isms are necessary and I could not agree with Kerr more. I strongly believe that they all have something to offer once a piece from each _ism is applied effectively. If the _isms are not applied correctly, there is indeed an issue with that theory and this is why most people like to state which one is better than the other. Not simply because of the theory itself, but because they have not studied how to use it correctly to recieve the desired results.
