I attended the PGCHE session yesterday on "Student learning: an overview of behaviourism, cognitive psychology and humanistic theories".
This was interesting but I'm not sure I followed it all. I regognised a lot of behaviourism in the way I treat my cats, but I'm not sure about my students. I think my teaching fits best with cognitive methods, in that each week builds on previous work and there is a real thinking / doing to learn approach.
