Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Learning theories can be matched to theorists by the central mechanism each theorist used to explain learning.
Behaviorism emphasizes observable consequences, individual constructivism emphasizes the learner’s cognitive construction, social constructivism emphasizes cultural interaction, and social cognitive theory links cognition, behavior, and environment.
Application
Learning theory | Theorist | Governing idea |
|---|---|---|
A. Behavioral theory | B. F. Skinner (IV) | Operant conditioning explains how reinforcement and consequences shape observable behavior. |
B. Individual constructivist theory | Jean Piaget (III) | Learners actively organize experience through schemas, assimilation, and accommodation. |
C. Social constructivist theory | Lev Vygotsky (II) | Learning develops through social interaction, cultural tools, and guided support in the zone of proximal development. |
D. Social cognitive theory | Albert Bandura (I) | Observation, modeling, self-efficacy, and reciprocal interaction connect personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. |
Cross-check
A reverse check gives Skinner → behavioral, Piaget → individual constructivist, Vygotsky → social constructivist, and Bandura → social cognitive; every theorist is used exactly once.
Contrast
A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III swaps the theorists for individual constructivism, social constructivism, and social cognitive theory.
A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I assigns Vygotsky to behaviorism, Skinner to individual constructivism, and Piaget to social constructivism.
A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III assigns Bandura to behaviorism, Skinner to individual constructivism, and Piaget to social cognitive theory.
Result
Therefore, the complete matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
