Useful models of school learning that are ideal to achieving instructional goals through preferred application of educational technology include Meaningful Learning, Discovery Learning, Generative Learning and Constructivism.
Meaningful Learning
This gives focus to new experience that is related to what the learner already knows. The students are encouraged to recognize relevant personal experiences. Reward structure sets a positive environment to learning.
Discovery Learning
Students perform tasks to uncover what is to be learned. It is important that the student become personally engaged and not subjected by the teacher to procedures he/she is not allowed to depart from.
Generative Learning
Active learners attend to learning events and generate meaning from this experience and draw inferences thereby creating a personal model or explanation to the new experience in the context of existing knowledge. Motivation and responsibility are seen to be crucial in this domain of learning. I gives emphasis to what can be done with pieces of information, not only on access to them.
Constructivism
The learner builds a personal understanding through appropriate learning activities and a good learning environment.
