The psychology and learning theories help students and teachers to understand more clearly the teaching process at hand.
Multiple intellegences- it is important as a teacher to assess and recognise all the different intellegences that students bring to the classrooms. Profiling the learners is vital and this method will provide more information about the students.
Cognitivism an sensory register are important parts of the learning theory and should be investigated and understood before organizing the materials for the class. Students shold find the new knowledge stimulating and wothwhile. Digital pedagogy can support the transfer through the use of the multimodal information sources.
Short term memory- Organizes the information for long term storage. ICT is important in supporting and chunking of information through interactive learning objects.
Long term memory- once students understand the learnt information, or schema, this new schema is compared to existing schemas and new knowledge is added. For the successful learning to occur the existing and new information should link and be built on in order to achieve the learning goal.
