Description of personal theory- Week 2

My personal theory of learning is collaborativsim where students and their instructor hold a mutual level of communication that benefits everyone in the classroom. For example, to teach new software features that are relevant to a class material requires detailed discussion from both sides students and their instructor. Students will share what they have learned about the software with each other as well as their instructor. This example shows how collaborative learning is being indirectly applied into the classroom. According to (Salvin,1990) collaborativism is where learning emerges through interaction of individuals with other individuals, because learning occurs as students exercise, verify, solidify, and improve their mental models through discussion and information sharing.
